Oscars Producer Says Ryan Gosling Planned Every Detail of "I'm Just Ken" Performance

As we now know, Gosling was playing the long game, having worked for months on the show-stopping "I'm Just Ken" performance that saw several of his co-stars — as well as iconic guitar player Slash — taking the stage.

 

Molly McNearney, who produced this year's Academy Awards with Raj Kapoor, Katy Mullan, and Rob Paine, spoke to Variety the morning after the show about just how committed to the performance Gosling was.

 

"Ryan Gosling is a true professional, that man — we met with him on Zooms months ago, talking about that performance," McNearney said. "Gret Gerwig weight in creatively as well. He was so committed to it. His choreographer, Many Moore, is exceptional — she was on all the calls. So was Mark Ronson."

"That's where the pink suit, and everybody else in black came from — and the stairs in the back. And we did an homage to the candelabra girls: We had Ken-delabra men."

 

Moore, Gosling's choreographer, also took part in the interview, talking about the big plans Gosling brought to the table from the very beginning.

 

"He was pretty clear about the overall structure of it," Moore added. He wanted to start in the audience, come up and see Mark, see Andrew [Wyatt, co-producer], ignite the Ken-delabras and then join the 10 dejected Kens on the stairs. From there, he wanted the rest of the number to evolve as if kens were coming from everywhere, 'Calling All Kens.' Eventually ending in a huge celebration revealing Slash."

I mean he was on the Mickey Mouse Club. He could’ve been a pop boy if he wanted to.

He actually could've been in the Backstreet Boys.

 

"Long story short, we used to live in the same apartment complex when he was doing The Mickey Mouse Club. Him, Justin [Timberlake], Christina [Aguilera], Britney [Spears], all of them," AJ McLean said. "We were playing basketball almost every other day. The group had started. I kept telling him how big this was gonna be. And he's like, 'Dude. New Kids [on the Block] already did it. This is never gonna work. Just shoot the ball.'"

I wish Britney would have done The Notebook and dated him on the rebound from JT instead of that leech KFed. It could have all been different :monkey:

My life now has new meaning... I feel my own Kenergy and I am Kenough. 

 

Gosling did so much for the metro-male-movement... and Icon, a civil rights fighter.
