Although Gosling, like his character, “Kenough,” the 42-year-old actor told PEOPLE at Barbie prime minister that his two daughters asked why he wanted to play the role.

“I think they’re confused as to why I would want to play Ken. They have no use for Ken,” Gosling said.

He also revealed that “my kids were my introduction [Barbie]” and that they helped him prepare for the role.

“My kids were at home for months while I was preparing for it,” Gosling said. “So they were also, unintentionally, preparing for it.”

“They came to the shoot that day and were very supportive and did it with me off camera,” he added.

Gosling has daughters Amada (7) and Esmeralda (8) with longtime partner Eva Mendes.
