Ryan Gosling has delivered the Oscars moment we've waited weeks for, with his rendition of 'I'm Just Ken' at the 96th Academy Awards, and it resulted in an unexpected group singalong from his Barbie co-stars.
Gosling, who was nominated for Best Supporting Actor at the 2024 Oscars, began his performance sat in the audience of the Dolby Theatre, dressed in a bright fuchsia-coloured bedazzled pink suit from Gucci, accessorised with matching hued gloves, a black cowboy hat, and black sunglasses.
Behind him, Billie Eilish couldn't contain her laughter as he began to sing, before the camera showed Gosling attempting to contain his own laughter when passing a giggling Margot Robbie.
The performance then saw Gosling walk to the stage for a Marilyn Monroe-, Gentlemen Prefer Blondes-inspired segment with a group of dancers, before he was carried on his back by a group, while oversized cutout images of the Barbie doll took to the stage.
Gosling was soon joined by his fellow Kens (including ELLE's very own Ncuti Gatwa), while the actor's co-stars America Ferrera, Robbie, and Barbie director Greta Gerwig gathered on the front row in the audience to cheer on the actor, and even sing into the microphone (soon joined by Gosling's La La Land co-star Emma Stone).
Of course, Twitter couldn't get enough of the hilarious moment and the pure joy the collaboration brought to the evening:
