Actor Ryan Gosling shows off his musical talent in a new trailer for the movie Barbie as he sings a moving song called 'I'm Just Ken', reports dailymail.co.uk. The actor, 42, is seen as his character Ken in the clip as he sings about living in the shadow of Barbie (Margot Robbie). "Doesn't seem to matter what I do, I'm always number two," he warbles while appearing emotional. "No one knows how hard I've tried, oh I have feelings that I can't explain, driving me insane. "All my life I've been so polite, cause I'm just Ken. Anywhere else I'd be a 10. Is it my destiny to live and die a life of blonde fragility?" Barbie’s Hot-Pink House Opens Up In Malibu!

The lyrics continue: "I'm just Ken. Where I see love she sees a friend. What will it take for her to see the man behind the tan. And fight for me?" "I'm just Ken, I am enough. And I'm great at doing stuff. So hey check me out, yeah I'm just Ken. Baby I'm just Ken," dailymail.co.uk reported. Ryan has earlier spoken out on the troubles Ken faced living as second fiddle to Barbie. He had previously said to GQ: "If you ever really cared about Ken, you would know that nobody cared about Ken. So your hypocrisy is exposed. This is why his story must be told." He added: "Nobody plays with Ken, man. They never played with Ken. He’s an accessory and not even one of the cool ones."

It was Ryan's daughters' (Esmeralda, eight, and Amada, seven) disrespect for their Ken dolls that prompted him to take on the role in the Greta Gerwig directed and co-written movie. He told GQ: "I walk out in the backyard and, do you know where I found Ken, Jimmy? "He was face down in the mud next to a squished lemon." Taking a picture of the scene and sending it to Greta as his acceptance, he wrote: "I shall be your Ken, for this story must be told." Barbie Trailer: Margot Robbie and Ryan Gosling’s Upcoming Film Is a Joyride to a Crazy Land (Watch Video).
