Mark Ronson Reveals Ryan Gosling’s ‘I’m Just Ken’ Was Almost Cut From ‘Barbie’: ‘Greta Had to Fight’


Mark Ronson said that "I'm Just Ken" was almost cut from the 'Barbie' movie. Here's how the team fought to keep it in.

Ryan Gosling ‘s performance of “I’m Just Ken” was arguably the most show-stopping moment from the 2024 Oscars, but according to Mark Ronson, it almost never happened. In the film, Gosling croons about his “blond fragility” in multiple settings and costumes, backed up by dozens of fellow Kens who also feel misunderstood in Barbie Land. Joined by Ronson, Guns N’ Roses’ Slash and Wolfgang Van Halen, the actor translated the sequence to a flamboyant stage performance at the 2024 Oscars in Los Angeles Sunday night, in celebration of the track’s best original song nod.
