I'm Just Ryan

More about the book

I'm Just Ryan throws a bright spotlight on the actor's playful and positive sense of humour and philosophy and revels in his ridiculous charm and sexiness with a wealth of iconic quotes and facts about the man - the legend - himself. Ryan, on channeling his "Kenergy": "I did doubt my Kenergy in the beginning. I just wasn't sure I could do it but I just decided I was going to Ken as hard as I can. I Kenned in the morning; I Kenned at night. If I'm honest, I'm Kenning a little right now." Ryan, on his wife Eva Mendes: "Eva's the dream mother, and they're dream babies, and it's like a dream that I'm having right now. I'm dreaming it all." Ryan Gosling's live performance of "I'm Just Ken" at the 2024 Academy Awards is already considered one of the most iconic moments in Oscars history. Dressed head-to-toe in pink, Ryan stole the show with Guns & Rose guitarist Slash and Mark Ronson, alongside 65 other "Ken's", and his Barbie co-stars. More than 20 million people tuned in to watch and sales of the song jumped by 900 per cent during the performance.
