Ryan Gosling's Daughters Help Him Nail Oscars Barbie Performance

Don Murray received an Oscar nomination for his performance in 'Bus Stop'

Ryan Gosling's daughters have shown their dedication to his role as Ken in the upcoming Barbie movie by memorizing the choreography for his song 'I'm Just Ken.' The actor shared that his daughters' interest in Barbie and lack of enthusiasm for Ken sparked their involvement in his performance.

Gosling, who shares daughters Esmeralda and Amada with Eva Mendes, revealed that the girls were present during the filming of the dance number for the Barbie movie. Despite the lack of context for them, they enthusiastically supported their dad during the Oscars dress rehearsal.

During the Oscars, Gosling, dressed in a pink bedazzled suit, performed 'I'm Just Ken' with a group of backup dancers, including notable personalities like Scott Evans and Simu Liu. The performance, which featured cameos from Slash and Mark Ronson, was a highlight of the evening.

Although the song did not win the award for Best Original Song, Gosling's performance was well-received, with his daughters providing valuable feedback and support throughout the process.

Gosling had playfully hinted about his Oscars performance in the months leading up to the event, expressing curiosity about the logistics and compensation involved. Despite the loss in the category, Gosling's dedication to the role of Ken and his daughters' involvement added a personal touch to the memorable performance.
