For the third time in his career, Ryan Gosling is playing a stuntman. Years after playing a stunt performer in "The Place Beyond The Pines" and "Drive," Ryan's back starring as a stuntman in the new action movie "The Fall Guy," which opens in theaters on May 3.
"Obviously this a love letter to the stunt community," Ryan told the audience at the film's Hollywood premiere on April 31. "They are the hardest-working people in show business. They risk more than anyone." Ultimately, he added, "this movie is just a giant campaign to get stunts an Oscar" because the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences currently does not recognize stunts in any categories.
"I don't know what to say, how do you say thank you to someone that got set on fire eight times for you, jumped from a helicopter, rolled a car eight times for you — this is just such an example of what they do for us, what they contribute to cinema, what they risk for all of us," Ryan continued in his gushing remarks, further telling the stunt men and women who worked on the film, "It's really been an honor to be a part of something that tells your story in some small way."
Ryan had four stunt doubles in 2024's "The Fall Guy." Two of them — Ben Jenkin and Logan Holladay — are seen here with the three-time Oscar nominee at the world premiere of "The Fall Guy" during the 2024 SXSW Conference and Festivals at the Paramount Theatre in Austin, Texas, in March 2024.
