Kanye West may or may not be in the Barbie spirits, but he is certainly a Ryan Gosling fan. His love for the movies is no secret, with him having gone to the theaters multiple times. We know the creative genius for being selective, but when he does like something, he does it on repeat. Just like his Yeezy socks, he liked a movie starring Gosling once and has watched multiple times ever since.

An old clip of Ye surfaced on the internet, showing off a humongous screen with the movie Blade Runner 2049 running. They released this part of the movie franchise in 2017 and starred Ryan Gosling. West apparently watched the movie multiple times, but what caught the eye was the 100-foot big screen that he watched it on. He even watched the match between the Toronto Raptors and the Boston Celtics on it. Notably, this was a couple of years ago with him originally tweeting the clip through his now-suspended account.
