At the 2024 Oscars, the atmosphere thrummed with excitement, chatter, and anticipation. Among the A-list attendees was none other than Hollywood’s renowned actor Ryan Gosling.
His unforgettable performance of “I’m Just Ken” had the audience in awe, but it was his playful, real-life Barbie, wife Eva Mendes, who arguably stole his thunder through her lighthearted posts on social media.
A High-Voltage Performance
Ryan Gosling, nominated for Best Supporting Actor for his role in “Barbie,” brought both charisma and talent to the stage as he performed amidst an energetic ensemble of dancing Kens.
The performance, a highlight of the evening, had audience members on their feet, captivated by Gosling’s dynamism.
Ryan Gosling’s performance was a tribute to the iconic “Barbie” franchise, reverberating with nostalgia while packing a modern punch.
The actor’s boisterous energy turned the stage into a riveting spectacle, capturing the attention of not only the house at the Dolby Theatre in Los Angeles but also viewers worldwide.
Eva Mendes’s Heartfelt Support
While Gosling held the spotlight on stage, his wife Eva Mendes rallied behind him, infusing humor and warmth into the occasion. Always his biggest cheerleader, Mendes was seen backstage supporting her husband.
She made the night extra memorable by sharing her unique backstage perspective on Instagram, showering Gosling with affectionate posts.
In one post, Mendes stood outside Gosling’s dressing room, with the apt caption “Always be my man.” Following Gosling’s performance, she posted a picture of herself wearing an outfit matching Gosling’s — a pink crystal-studded suit jacket paired with a black cowboy hat.
Her subsequent caption, “You took Ken all the way to the Oscars, RG. Now come home, we need to put the kids to bed,” served as a light-hearted reminder of their real-life roles as parents to their two daughters, Esmeralda Amada and Amada Lee.

Decisively, the 2024 Oscars will be remembered for an energetically charged performance, a celebratory tribute to “Barbie,” and an endearing glimpse into the life of one of Hollywood’s most adored couples.
