LOS ANGELES - Ryan Gosling will reportedly take the Oscars stage next month to perform "I’m Just Ken" from the movie "Barbie," according to Variety.
DailyMail.com first confirmed the news, and FOX Television Stations reached out to the academy to confirm.
Gosling — the Ken to Margot Robbie's "Barbie" in the film – received a supporting nomination for his role in the movie, and "I’m Just Ken" was nominated for best original song.
"I’m Just Ken" is performed by Gosling in the Hollywood blockbuster, which was easily the biggest hit of the year with more than $1.4 billion in ticket sales.

In February, the actor told Variety that he would "be open" to performing at the awards show, but said he hadn’t yet been asked to perform.
