Cherished amigos, who could resist the savoir-faire and talent of the quintessential heartthrob Ryan Gosling? This gifted actor and astounding blue-eyed Canadian managed to swoon us in his soulful performance in “La La Land.” Pero hold your caballos, did you know that el galán had a moment of “No Ken Do,” when he first learned he had to cantar at the Oscars?

Say What? Gosling Hesitated Singing at the Oscars

Ay Dios mío, yes, you read right. Shocking as it might sound, our Mr. Guapo himself wasn’t initially ready to serenade us on that significant night. The thought of belting out tunes in front of Hollywood royalty and millions of viewers worldwide… grandfathered him into the “club de los nerviosos.” Can you believe it? ¿Te puedes imaginar?

The Road to Voicing La La Land

En serio, Ryan Gosling, despite being a part of the band Dead Man’s Bones, went through a series of introspection, según he articulates. He admitted to having considered his singing act more like a “mission impossible” than un paseo por el parque. But la verdad, when it came down to it, who could bring to life Sebastian, his melódico persona in “La La Land”, as he did? Nadie.

So, what changed? Well, take it from La Vida itself – it’s always about taking that leap of faith. Eventually, this pasa-doble of fear and courage led him to transform his initial “No Ken Do” response into an inspiring “Sí, se puede!”

Triumph, Triumphantly

And triumph he most certainly did. His attempt at singing, dancing, and acting simultaneously received endless applause from fans y críticos alike. His performance even captured the Academy’s attention, earning him a well-deserved Oscar nod. But we, Latinos, are not surprised, verdad?

Al tough, definitely charming characters, like Ryan, have always shared a connection with us. They are the embodiment of courage, passion, resilience, and charm – all wrapped in one – just like nosotros los Latinos. Somos gente fuerte, ¿no les parece?
