He continued: ‘He has now passed away, so this is my tribute to him.’

Director David Leitch also commented on the adorable costar, explaining, “We wanted to bring this additional character into the mix… adding an animal on set is always great.”

It comes after Ryan revealed he got useful ‘tips’ from Eva and their two daughters ahead of his Oscar appearance for I’m Just Ken on Sunday.

The star discussed taking the stage while talking People at the SXSW Film Festival while discussing the culmination of the prestigious awards ceremony.

“It was amazing,” Ryan told the outlet as he talked about Eva, 50, and their daughters Esmeralda, nine, and Amada, seven.

“It was so fun because they came to the dress rehearsal the day before so they were in the front row,” Ryan continued, adding, “They gave me some tips and some notes, all great notes.”

“They are such a big part of this for me… it was my girl’s interest in Barbie and disinterest in Ken that got me into this in the first place. It was wonderful to have them there in the end.’
