During a recent appearance on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, actor Ryan Gosling revealed his initial reluctance to perform the nominated song 'I'm Just Ken' at the Oscars. Gosling admitted that his first response to the request was a firm 'no,' citing concerns about the potential pitfalls of such a performance. However, despite his reservations, Gosling ultimately took the stage in a striking pink bedazzled suit and cowboy hat, accompanied by a group of 62 Kens, including his co-stars from the Barbie movie.
Following his performance, which garnered positive reviews, Gosling humorously remarked on the potential impact of having The Roots as his backing band. The actor had previously shared that his daughters' lack of interest in the Ken doll had sparked his initial interest in the role. Gosling joked about his daughters' reaction to his performance, quipping that they recognized his character's antics as 'Dad's Kenning again.'
