As &#8216;Sex Education&#8217; Season 4 Release Comes Close, Ncuti Gatwa Shares “Drowning In” Ryan Gosling’s Eyes on Set of ‘Barbie’

Ncuti Gatwa has received widespread acclaim and praise for his portrayal of Eric
Effiong in Netflix’s Sex Education
[https://netflixjunkie.com/tag/sex-education/]. The charisma, sense of
character, and genuine outlook that Gatwa brought to his character without
bogging it down made him a beloved cast member of the show. And it is owing to
that he got the chance to be Ken in Greta Gerwig’s highly anticipated Barbie in
2023 alongside a fellow Doctor Who fan, Ryan Reynolds.

Equally praised for his role in the movie, Gatwa had some other concerns on the
set. Specifically, he was a tad bit nervous at the presence of the ever-charming
Ryan Gosling.


NCUTI GATWA FELT LIKE “DROWNING IN” RYAN GOSLING’S EYES!

Ryan Gosling and Margot Robbie, who helmed the major roles of Ken and Barbie,
respectively, for the major part of the movie, sold the crowd out. The duo’s
stellar performance made Barbie a loveable comedy drama. However, behind the
scenes, while shooting for the movie and on the sets of Barbie Land, Ncuti Gatwa
felt a sense of “nervousness”. In an interview with Elle
[https://www.elle.com/uk/life-and-culture/a44827957/ncuti-gatwa-interview-elle-style-awards/],
Gatwa opened up on his anxiety while filming for the movie with Gosling.

Owing to his anxiety, Gatwa could hardly speak and usually kept to himself for
the first month of the movie’s shooting. However, later on, he took on a more
light-hearted approach and opened up on working with Ryan Gosling. The actor
joked that at one point he was so engrossed in Gosling that it seemed as if he
fell over! Speaking of an incident when Gosling turned around and looked at him,
the 30-year-old actor described it as feeling as if he had “drowned in his
eyes.”

Barbie recently became the highest-earning movie for Warner Bros. and is still
continuing to mint at the box office. Meanwhile, Ncuti Gatwa has season four of
Sex Education right above his head.


THE LAST AND FINAL SEASON OF NETFLIX’S SEX EDUCATION LANDS SOON ON NETFLIX

Netflix’s Sex Education has long been praised for handling the themes of
sexuality and orientation with relative ease, grace, and without any trivialism.
Additionally, the teen drama which starred the beloved pair of Otis and his
mother is now on its last leg. While numerous cast members of the show are not
returning for the final season, it still has a lot in store. Having loved these
characters for so long, fans are not ready to say goodbye!

As the cast navigates their life through a new setting at a new school, it will
be interesting to see how their relationships pan out. Existing ones such as
those between Otis and Maeve, and Eric and Adam, among others, may be given
conclusive character arcs too. Furthermore, the new setting will also open up
new challenges to overcome, all of which will be handled in one season. The last
season of Sex Education lands on Netflix on the 21st of September this year,
character posters for which have already been released.
