Ryan Gosling, the acclaimed actor, initially declined the offer to perform 'I'm Just Ken' at the 2024 Oscars, saying '100% no' due to concerns over the myriad ways the performance could potentially falter. Despite his initial reluctance, Gosling's decision to eventually take the stage and unleash his inner pop star became a highlight of the Oscars. A significant influence in his change of heart was the involvement of his daughters, Esmeralda and Amada, who not only knew all the choreography but were also better at it than him, according to Gosling. This familial support, along with the encouragement from 'Barbie' director Greta Gerwig, who was convinced of Gosling's fit for the role after his stint as a host on 'Saturday Night Live,' played a crucial role in his iconic performance.
