After plenty of speculation as to whether or not it would happen, Ryan Gosling will apparently be performing “I’m Just Ken” at the Oscars on March 10.
Variety has reported that Gosling, who starred as Ken in last year’s Barbie movie, will be singing the Best Original Song-nominated tune at the 96th annual Academy Awards next month. The outlet notes that earlier this month, the actor said he hadn’t been asked by the Academy to perform the song, though that seems to have changed in the weeks since.
You can listen to the song yourself below:
“To live in Barbie Land is to be a perfect being in a perfect place. Unless you have a full-on existential crisis. Or you’re a Ken,” reads Barbie’s synopsis.
