Ryan Gosling Live Debuts “I’m Just Ken” at Oscars

Ryan Gosling Live Debuts “I’m Just Ken” at Oscars

Ryan Gosling returned to the Oscar stage along with 65 other Kens and wowed the star-studded Oscar audience with the live debut of his Barbie hit on Sunday.

Gosling and his boys brought some much-needed rockstar energy to the Hollywood Blvd. stage while paying tribute to Marilyn Monroe’s “Diamonds Are a Girl’s Best Friend” (and Madonna’s “Material Girl”) with Busby Berkeley choreography and a heavy dose of comedy.

The Oscar-nominated “I’m Just Ken” was written and produced by Mark Ronson and Andrew Wyatt who rocked out alongside the actor on bass and piano, respectively.

Their sound was elevated by two surprise guests on guitar: Wolfgang Van Halen and Slash, both of whom are also on the original recording.
