Ryan Gosling rocked the 2024 Oscars stage with a show-stealing performance of “I’m Just Ken.” Gosling brought the hit song from 2023’s Barbie to life with the help of a few friends, including iconic guitarist Slash.

Along with Slash, Gosling borrowed the vocals from a few familiar faces in the audience. That list of names includes Barbie herself, Margot Robbie, and Gosling’s former co-star Emma Stone.
Even better, on the stage, Gosling was surrounded by all of the other Ken actors from the film. How awesome is that?
