Ryan Gosling, Mark Ronson, Slash & The Kens - I'm Just Ken (Live From The Oscars 2024)

[@Dempea]

I remember how so many people hated his casting for ken and now here he is. He was Kenough

[@misscrys4]

😂😂😂 more than kenough

[@Fhurin]

He's got real Kenenergy

[@Dave-uk3xv]

You know what I totally forgot about that furor around him being too old for the role and what terrible casting it was. I must have missed the bit where all those loud critics admitted they were wrong. HA!

[@hohoho080]

My only issue with it was they made him go platinum, like WHY? HIS NATURAL COLOR IS LITERALLY KENS HAIR??

[@sakitoby1581]

Really From the moment I heard of it, I thought PERFECT CASTING! Never had any doubt he'd do great he ended up taking it to a whole new level! Much more than KENOUGH! 😂

[@analuizadefigueiredosouza7851]

Can we talk about the fact that they brought the original main dancing characters to the choreo?

[@madmask7987]

You know they put effort into this when they brought the entire cast, Kens and Slash and Van Halen included, to perform

[@mirapollo8706]

It was great - all four of the main supporting Kens from the movie came out on stage as a chorus line behind Ryan: - *Ncuti Gatwa* (star of the BBC television series Doctor Who), - *Simu Liu* (star of the Marvel Universe action-hero film Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings), - *Kingsley Ben-Adir* (star of the 2024 film Bob Marley: One Love; also known for UK stage work and TV shows like Vera), and - *Scott Evans* (from US TV shows like One Life to Live and Grace and Frankie). Also, the song’s two composers - *Mark Ronson* on guitar and *Andrew Wyatt* at the piano - were there at the beginning. And *Wolfgang Van Halen* and *Slash* - who had done instrumentals for the film’s soundtrack, were there at the very end.

[@frances1227]

I think that just goes to show how much fun they had making this movie and playing these characters that they all came back for it (i know i would)
