JAKARTA - Director Greta Gerwig explained the process of making Barbie films, one of which was Ryan Gosling's singing scene. Many are curious about how Gosling wants to sing the original song I'm Just Ken.

Gerwig said it needed a specific approach so that Ryan Gosling would sing and perform the song.

She (Ryan Gosling) has a beautiful voice, and she's a beautiful dancer. We talked organically. I thought I said 'I want you to sing and dance in this film', Greta Gerwig told Rolling Stone.

"But it's kind of a lobster boil. I think when he sings and dances, he knows how we got there, but he's really great at it," he said.

Gerwig discussed with Mark Ronson as the producer of all the songs in the Barbie film. They want to do a song inspired by Meat Loaf.

Mark Ronson talks a lot about glam-rock and Meat Loaf and the drama of the song. Mark and his partner wrote the lyrics of Andrew totaling I'm Just Ken. They don't write all the lyrics but they have feelings and the lyrics of I'm Just Ken develop from there," Greta Gerwig continued.

On the other hand, Greta Gerwig also mentioned Ryan Gosling as the only actor in her mind when she considered Ken's role.

From the moment Margot (Robbie) came to me and I know we made this for Margot. I also felt that way to Ryan. And I don't know Ryan at all, never met, "said Greta Gerwig.

When I think about it, I feel happy. Who can do it? This is a combination of Marlon Brando meeting Gene Wilder meeting John Barrymore and John Travolta," he said.

Ryan Gosling sang I'm Just Ken in the Barbie film which tells his character in the film. It is known that the song was made by Mark Ronson with guitarist Slash who fills the guitar track.

Gosling set a record with one million total streams from the song I'm Just Ken when the song was released.
