Ryan Gosling's Initial Rejection of 'I'm Just Ken' Oscars Performance Explained

Ryan Gosling initially turned down the opportunity to perform "I'm Just Ken" from "Barbie" at the 2024 Oscars, citing concerns about potential mishaps. However, he eventually embraced the role, delivering a memorable performance complete with a pink suit, cowboy hat, and special guests. His daughters' interest in Barbie and disinterest in Ken inspired his involvement in the song, and they even joined him during rehearsals. Despite initially moving on from his Barbie character, his daughters noted his return to "Ken-ing" when it was time to revisit the role.
