The Marilyn Monroe Homage in His Oscars Performance was Ryan Gosling’s Idea


The Marilyn Monroe homage in the ‘I’m Just Ken’ Oscars performance was meticulously planned by Ryan Gosling himself

Referencing Monroe’s “Diamonds Are a Girl’s Best Friend” performance in Gentlemen Prefer Blondes, Gosling, 43, donned a hot pink suit while surrounded by Kens in black tuxedos on the stairs. According to Oscars producer Molly McNearney — who is also the wife of the show’s host, Jimmy Kimmel — it was Gosling’s idea to pay tribute to Monroe in the performance. Ryan Gosling has come a long way since his days as a Mouseketeer on Disney's The Mickey Mouse Club with Britney Spears, Justin Timberlake, and Christina Aguilera.
