Ryan Gosling Proves He’s More Than “Just Ken” With Musical Performance

Ken you believe it?

Less than two weeks before the Barbie movie hits theaters, fans got a new promo for the film featuring a musical performance by none other than Ryan Gosling.  

In the clip, released July 10, his character Ken laments through song that life in plastic isn’t always fantastic as he cries to Margot Robbie‘s Barbie about how he doesn’t know who he is without her.

“It’s Barbie and Ken,” he tells her in the video. “There is no just Ken.”

And he tries to further explain his feelings through song.

“Doesn’t seem to matter what I do,” Ken sings while flashing his abs. “I’m always No. 2. No one knows how hard I try. Oh, I have feelings that I can’t explain, driving me insane. All my life been so polite.”

However, he wants Barbie to see him as more than this.  

“‘Cause I’m just Ken. Anywhere else I’d be a 10,” Ken belts out. “Is it my destiny to live a life of blonde fragility? I’m just Ken. Where I see love, she sees a friend. What will it take for her to see the man behind the tan and fight for me?”
