Margot Robbie<\/a> in the title role and heard about a kid who used his character’s Oscar-nominated song ‘I’m Just Ken’ to deal with a breakup.<\/p>\nHe told The Sunday Times: “I\u2019ve heard those stories and, of course, I love them. I think Greta had more affection for Ken than any other character. Even though she made a Barbie film, she was very conscious that she has two little boys, and so wanted to start a conversation.<\/p>\n
“I heard about a kid whose girlfriend broke up with him and he\u2019d watch ‘I\u2019m Just Ken’ to make him feel it was OK. Like, \u2018I just wasn\u2019t the right person for her, but that doesn\u2019t mean there is anything wrong with me \u2026\u2019”<\/p>\n
But ‘The Fall Guy’ star mused that perhaps people are “sick” of the character when it was noted by the outlet that there is “very little left to ask” about Barbie’s famous boyfriend.<\/p>\n
\nHis co-star Emily Blunt – who earlier this month declared that “Ken is dead” as part of a ‘Saturday Night Live’ sketch quipped: “You see, everyone\u2019s sick of him.”<\/p>\n
\nRyan said: “I understand.”<\/p>\n
\n‘I’m Just Ken’ lost out the award for Best Original Song to Billie Eilish’s ‘What Was I Made For?’ – which appears during the ending sequence of ‘Barbie’ – and Ryan previously revealed that he initially turned down the chance to perform it at the Oscars.<\/p>\n
\nSpeaking on ‘The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon\u2019, he said: \u201c(It was) 100 per cent no.<\/p>\n
\n\u201cThere\u2019s a lot of ways that could go wrong.\u201d<\/p>\n
\nWhen host Jimmy, 49, read positive reviews about Ryan\u2019s performance, he referenced the talk show host\u2019s house band when he jokingly replied: \u201cImagine the reviews I would have had if I\u2019d have had The Roots.\u201d<\/p>\n
\nRyan\u2019s \u2018I\u2019m Just Ken\u2019 performance saw him dancing in a pink suit and black cowboy hat while joined onstage by the song\u2019s writer and producer Mark Ronson as well as his fellow movie \u2018Kens\u2019 \u2013 Simu Liu, Scott Evans, Ncuti Gatwa and Kingsley Ben-Adir.<\/p>\n
\nRyan was also joined by Guns N\u2019 Roses guitarist Slash and Wolfgang Van Halen, and at one point the actor handed his mic to audience members Margot Robbie \u2013 who played \u2018Barbie\u2019 in Greta\u2019s blockbuster \u2013 as well as Emma Stone, America Ferrera and Greta.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
