In an appearance on Thursdays episode of The Tonight Show, the Barbie star spoke to host Jimmy Fallon about the high-energy segment at last months Academy Awards.
When the Oscars asked you to perform, they call you and they go, Would you want to do Im Just Ken? do you immediately go, Yeah, I have to do this, or no? Fallon asked the actor.
Without missing a beat, Gosling replied, 100% no.
He explained, Theres a lot of ways that it can go wrong.
Gosling, who was nominated for Best Supporting Actor for his portrayal of Ken in the summer blockbuster, earned rave reviews for his rendition of the Best Original Song contender.
Dressed in a fabulous hot pink suit, the actor had strutted around onstage with a group of backup Kens and multiple surprise guests, including Guns N Roses guitarist Slash.

Gosling also spoke to Fallon about the reaction of his daughters, ages 7 and 9, when they attended a rehearsal.
Dads Kenning again, he quipped in an imitation of his kids, adding that they had a disinterest in Ken.
Gosling said that hed wanted them to attend the rehearsal to give them some context for what had been going on including a lot of fake tan stains around the house.

In a Variety interview published in February, Gosling said that he hadnt been asked to perform at the Oscars yet, telling the outlet: It might be too much of a risk to have me do it. I dont know how that would work. But Im open to it.
