Federer’s Instagram post hinted to fans that this tennis legend is also grooving in the latest Oscars trend like other celebrities. Federer referred to Ryan Gosling’s amazing performance on the song  I’m Just a Ken, which was the showstopper of the event at the Dolby Theatre. Fans also realized that Federer was satisfied with his Oscars 2024 look and enjoyed Gosling’s amazing performance.

However, it wasn’t just Federer who couldn’t get Ken out of his head. Former WTA legend Chris Evert and Serena Williams’s coach Rennae Stubbs equally loved the performance.
