He also enjoyed a reunion with his La La Land co-star Emma Stone as he serenaded her while walking into the audience.
He then prowled his way to the stage where he joined a host of tuxedo clad back-up dancers.
He tenderly stroked their faces before they then picked Ryan up and twirled him in the air, while his Barbie co-stars including Simu Liu joined him onstage.
The star was then joined by Guns N Roses guitarist Slash, 58, who made a surprise appearance before the actor hit a killer last note.
Fans quickly noticed a similarity between Ryan’s performance and Marilyn Monroe’s iconic Gentleman Prefer Blondes scene in 1953 in which she performed Diamonds Are A Girl’s Best Friend.
Barbie – was nominated for eight awards, but also fell victim to notable snubs from the Academy.
Its star Margot was not nominated for Best Actress, while Greta missed out on a nod for Best Director.

Greta was nominated for Best Director in 2018 for her solo directorial debut, Lady Bird, and has three other Oscar nods for Best Original Screenplay and Best Adapted Screenplay.
