Ryan Gosling may not present Im just Ken at the 2024 Oscars in the U.S.

Canadian actor and musician Ryan Gosling gained the public’s attention as a Disney child star and over the years has established an established career as a Hollywood actor, also as a film director and producer, which led him to play the role of “Ken” in the acclaimed film “Barbie” directed by Greta Gerwig, which garnered several Oscar nominations.

The actor who gave life to the character of Ken, Ryan Gosling, and for the same role won him a nomination for best supporting actor, reveals that when he first read the script he turned down the role due to scheduling conflicts, other personal reasons and fear of playing such an iconic role for pop culture.

It was the acclaimed director with the help of Margot Robbie who brought Barbie to life and was also a producer of the film that persuaded the actor and musician to accept the role. Ryan Gosling revealed that this role was one of the most difficult he has ever had to play.

His dancing and musical gifts were indispensable for the actor to perform “I’m just Ken” which gave him an Oscar nomination for best original song along with Mark Ronson who was the producer of the song of the acclaimed film, that it was so successful that both made a Christmas version and thus managing to establish a friendship since the producer confesses that he is a great admirer of Ryan Gosling’s work.

Although it has not yet been confirmed by the Academy that the performer will have a special appearance at the Gala, the nominee for best supporting actor does not close the possibilities of getting on stage, assuring that he would not know how it would work since he has never performed for such a large audience, being this event one of the most anticipated of the year.

Recall that Barbie’s presence this year has been very strong, as even another song has been nominated and it is “What Was I Made For?” By Billie Eilish. Regarding the awards, the voting period for the awards will be between February 12 and 27 and the Oscar Awards 2024 gala will be held on March 10, 2024.
