Gosling took to the stage with some fellow Kens for a sparkly pink performance During the 2024 Oscars ceremony, Ryan Gosling took to the stage with everyone from Simu Liu to Slash to perform “I’m Just Ken” — one of the breakout (and award-nominated) songs from Barbie.
The dancers proceeded to engage in a similar mock fight-dance, with Gosling karate chopping pink pieces of pink wood.
The Kens rally to fight each other with sports equipment and hobby horses, a big musical manifestation of their toxic masculinity.
Eventually Gosling’s Ken and Simu Liu’s Ken bump chests and the sequence melds into a dream ballet, where the two factions of Kens have an aggressive dance-off.
