Will Ryan Gosling sing “I’m Just Ken” at the Oscars? The actor is under pressure!
“That would be great! Did he confirm anything for you?” said the creator of the Barbie hit, Mark Ronson.
Since the box full of Barbie last summer, “I’m Just Ken”achieved dazzling success, and Ryan Gosling finds himself propelled to the forefront of the… musical scene. And soon the Oscars? The satirical hit is nominated in the Best Original Song category for the film barbiethen the question that torments the organization’s teams and fans from the very beginning is the following: will he agree to perform on the ceremony stage?
Nothing is certain since the actor expressed his dissatisfaction, concerning the absence of Margot Robbie in the Best Actress category and Greta Gerwig for the best achievement. A dose of embarrassment is added to this, especially since ““I’m Just Ken” exceeds expectations, as evidenced by the expression, which went viral, of the actor, when he received an award for best song under the noses of his “competitors”. The title has surpassed Dua Lipa And Billie Eilishtwo big pop stars who lent their voices for the film’s soundtrack, during the Critics Choice Awards ceremony.
Variety raises expectations by sharing the opinion of the composer of ““I’m Just Ken”, Mark Ronson, On the question. The latter confirms that Ryan Gosling… has not yet made a decision: “It would be great ! Did he confirm anything to you? I would like to know…that would be my dream! This is my dream.“
The journalist then asks if a replacement could take on the role of Ken, for a song:
“No. I think if Ryan doesn’t do it, then we don’t do it“, said the producer.
If he accepts, could Gosling be surrounded by other Ken interpreters, like in the film? Here too, Ronson is not saying anything concrete for the moment. So everything rests on Ryan’s shoulders for the moment.
