Does Ryan Gosling actually sing in Barbie?

In case you were wondering, it is actually Gosling's voice you can hear during I’m Just Ken.

Speaking to Vanity Fair, Mark Ronson, who executively produced the soundtrack, said of Gosling's singing talents: "He really got [that] it had to walk this line of not being funny or parody. But, obviously, the song is also kind of ridiculous at times."

He added: "So he was really amazing, and when he really did start hitting the big notes, I was like, this dude is a vocal powerhouse!”
