JAKARTA - Ryan Gosling's appearance at the 2024 Oscars has become a conversation until now. Playing a role in the Barbie film, he sang the song I'm Just Ken live accompanied by Mark Ronson.

Ryan Gosling was wearing a pink suit and gloves and started his performance by sitting on the audience bench, behind Margot Robbie. Later, he walked on stage and joined Mark Ronson and Slash.

This phenomenal appearance was also enlivened by the other Ken cast Simu Liu, Scott Evans, Ncuti Gatwa and Kingsley Ben-Adir who danced.

Recently, Gosling confirmed that he did not immediately accept the offer to appear. The reason is, he feels unsuitable to sing professionally at the prestigious awards ceremony.

Fallon asked if Gosling immediately agreed to the committee's invitation to appear. Eva Mendes' husband denied it.

"When they asked me to appear, did you immediately answer 'Yes, I had to do it' or not?" asked Jimmy Fallon.

"100% no!," said Ryan Gosling.

"There are many possibilities for that appearance to be wrong," Ryan Gosling said.

A few weeks before Oscar, Gosling will reportedly perform Im Just Ken. At that time, all Best Original Song nominations were scheduled to sing nominations, but only Gosling did not confirm.

Ryan Gosling also previously chose not to sing the song City of Stars from the film La La Land at the 2017 Oscars, so the song was sung by John Legend.
