Ryan Gosling told the press he hadn't been asked to perform at the Oscars, all while secretly preparing the night's biggest moment
This just goes to show: you can’t trust an actor! In January, and again in February, Ryan Gosling claimed he hadn’t even been asked to perform his blockbuster Barbie musical number “I’m Just Ken” at the 2024 Oscars. But the truth is, “we met with him on Zooms months ago, talking about that performance,” Molly McNearney, Oscars producer and wife of Jimmy Kimmel, told Variety. Gosling, the “true professional,” was just throwing everyone off the scent.
“He was pretty clear about his overall structure of it,” told Variety. “He wanted to start in the audience, come up see Mark, see Andrew , ignite the Ken-delabras and then join the 10 dejected Kens on the stairs,” she said. “From there he wanted the rest of the number to evolve as if Kens were coming from everywhere, ‘Calling All Kens.’ Eventually ending in a huge celebration revealing Slash.” Rehearsals for the performance began four weeks ago .
