“I’ve always felt indebted to stunt actors,” says actor Ryan Gosling.

More than a wink, it’s a declaration of love for the stunt profession that director David Leitch brings with his action comedy The Fall Guy in theaters May 1. “I’ve always felt indebted to stunt actors.”says Ryan Gosling, who shared the poster with Emily Blunt. “They take all the hits for the actors. They put themselves in danger and don’t get any appreciation. They contribute a lot to the success of the film.” “The Fall Guy” shows a sweaty, muscular, scratched, flawless Ryan Gosling. A spoof movie, with plenty of B-grade, but less rosy than Barbie.

Unconditional fan of Claude Lelouch

As inspiration for starring in this blockbuster, Ryan Gosling cites Claude Lellouche’s film, “a man and a woman”. “We were all very moved by this film.” says the American comedian. “It’s one of my favorite movies of all time. We played the music from that movie in our set. It’s always meant a lot to me.”Ryan Gosling adds. “And when I read the script for The Fall Guy, I saw the possibility of trying to recapture that magic.”

The actor also cites the short film “It Was a Date.” “A car crosses all of Paris at six in the morning.”. “We were very inspired by that at Drive.”“, confirms Ryan Gosling.
