Gosling is set to the hit stage at the 2024 Oscars to perform the Oscar-nominated ‘Barbie’ song, “I’m Just Ken”
Eva Mendes is supporting her favorite Ken ahead of his performance at the 2024 Oscars.
Ahead of Hollywood’s biggest night, the actress, 50, shared a video on Instagram showing her outside of her partner’s dressing room, set to his Oscar-nominated Barbie song, “I’m Just Ken.”
“Always by my man,” she captioned the clip.
In the video, Mendes is sporting a denim-on-denim look in a jean skirt and coordinated jacket. She completed the look with a black baseball cap.
“So proud of my man. So much hate when he took on this role,” Mendes wrote in a caption to her post. “So many people trying to shame him for doing it.”

“Despite all the #Notmyken ridicule and articles written about him, he created this completely original, hilarious, heartbreaking, now iconic character and took it all the way to Oscars,” she added in her caption. “So beyond proud to be this Ken’s Barbie 💕”
“There is no Ken without Barbie, and there is no Barbie movie without Greta Gerwig and Margot Robbie, the two people most responsible for this history-making, globally-celebrated film. No recognition would be possible for anyone on the film without their talent, grit and genius,” Gosling said in a statement shared with PEOPLE. He added that to say he’s disappointed Robbie and Gerwig were not nominated in their respective categories “would be an understatement.”
