The actor made waves with his performance of the Mattel male doll in Greta Gerwig’s “Barbie.” Among his most lauded moments was the dramatic and emotional “I’m Just Ken” musical number.
The song, written and produced by Andrew Wyatt and Mark Ronson, made the Billboard Hot 100 chart and was one of 15 songs that made it onto the 2024 Oscars song shortlist to be considered for a nomination.
In a joint interview with “Barbie” co-star Margot Robbie for W Magazine, Gosling was asked if he was going to perform “I’m Just Ken” at this year’s Academy Awards.
“Well, I haven’t been invited,” Gosling blatantly responds. “But thanks for pointing that out. And I wasn’t thinking about it until now.”
“Now it’s all I’m gonna think about,” he continued, with Robbie laughing beside him.
Gosling, seemingly considering it, had one question about performing at the awards ceremony.
“Do you get paid for that?” he asked, with Robbie replying, “I doubt it.”
Gosling then quipped, “What do you get paid to sing at the Oscars? They pick you up at least, right? You don’t have to self-drive?”
