Ryan Gosling And Emma Stone Couldn’t Stop Talking!
Back in 2011, the actor and Emma Stone starred in the drama film Crazy, Stupid, Love. With their on-screen chemistry being known around the world, Gosling revealed in an interview with SBIFF that he and Stone improvised their audition scenes so well that they weren’t able to stop talking.
“Anyway, it’s a scary thing to do because you know especially in an audition because you don’t know your characters, you don’t know each other. You don’t know what you know, you don’t have any frame of reference for what you’re doing, what are you going to talk about it in this team. You have to create a scene in that moment and we just couldn’t shut up.”
With the recent submission of Gosling’s name for the Oscars, the world surely hopes that the actor win his Oscar. Although it is not for acting, Ryan Gosling will be able to boast his singing skills.
