Ryan Gosling shouldn’t be “wasting his time” making films like ‘Barbie’, according to The ‘Wall Street’ filmmaker, director Oliver Stone.

Stone told City AM: “Ridiculous. Ryan Gosling is wasting his time if he’s doing that … for money. He should be doing more serious films. He shouldn’t be a part of this infantilization of Hollywood. Now it’s all fantasy, fantasy, fantasy, including all the war pictures: fantasy, fantasy.”

Oliver Stone has weighed in on the current state of the movie industry and he singled out Ryan following his appearance in Greta Gerwig’s doll-themed blockbuster – accusing the actor of contributing to the “infantilization of Hollywood”.

The moviemaker went on to take aim at the ‘Fast and Furious’ franchise, declaring: “Even the ‘Fast and Furious’ movies, which I used to enjoy, have become like Marvel movies. I mean, how many crashes can you see?” and he also reserved some wrath for Keanu Reeves’ ‘John Wick films.
Stone’s comments about ‘Barbie’ come after the film’s star Margot Robbie has played down the prospect of a sequel.
