Ryan Gosling is viewed as a true Hollywood hunk thanks to a range of iconic roles in films such as Crazy, Stupid Love, La La Land, and most definitely Barbie. His skills, charisma, and overall charming nature mean that fans simply cannot get enough of his work. That said, Gosling also vowed to give the stunt category the respect it deserves, which might start a new Oscar category.
Ryan Gosling also got an early start in his career in show business, appearing in the TV series Young Hercules all the way back in 1998, as well as Breaker High. It was evident from the very beginning that he was born for this industry.
Ryan Gosling Vowed to Give The Stunt Category Proper Respect
Following his acclaimed portrayal of Ken in last year’s Barbie, Ryan Gosling is set to appear in the upcoming action comedy The Fall Guy. Directed by David Leitch, known for his work on Bullet Train and Deadpool 2, the film is based on the TV series of the same name and also features Emily Blunt, Aaron Taylor-Johnson, and Winston Duke.
In The Fall Guy, Gosling takes on the role of an ageing stunt performer. The movie reportedly includes several action sequences that push the boundaries of practical stunts. Gosling was reportedly taken aback by one of these sequences and voiced his regret regarding the lack of recognition for the stunt community in Hollywood.
As revealed by a video from Variety, Ryan Gosling emphasized the significance of acknowledging stunt doubles while talking about his film The Fall Guy. He made it clear he will not let stunt doubles remain in the dark any more.
“There’s this sort of accepted dynamic where they come on set, they do all the cool stuff, they risk everything, and then they disappear into the shadows, and we all pretend as though they were never there…Well, that ends today!”
