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?

Another user chimed in, “Gosling starting “I’m Just Ken” in the audience behind Margot Robbie who CANNOT stop laughing. Genius. I hope the Kenergy never leaves him.”

Finally, one user added, “Gosling had every A-list celeb on their feet. he turned the entire Oscars theater into a full-on concert. that man has so much charisma and star power. Wow.”
