Ryan Gosling recently expressed his gratitude towards stunt performers during a special screening event for The Fall Guy in Los Angeles. The actor highlighted the crucial role played by stuntmen and women, acknowledging their often overlooked contributions to the film industry.
Gosling reminisced about his early days on the action TV show Young Hercules, where he had a stunt double. He emphasized the disparity in recognition, noting that while stunt performers undertake risky and impressive feats, they often go unnoticed when it comes to receiving credit.
The Fall Guy, a highly anticipated movie adaptation of the 1980s CBS drama, promises audiences explosive action sequences, high-speed car chases, and daring stunts. Gosling, who portrays stuntman Colt Seavers in the film, praised his stunt double Logan Holladay and the entire team for their exceptional skills and dedication.
The actor likened the collaboration with the stunt performers to a well-coordinated team, drawing parallels to superheroes like the Avengers. He underscored the importance of shedding light on the vital role played by stunt performers in creating memorable cinematic moments.
During the production of The Fall Guy, Holladay achieved a remarkable feat by setting a new Guinness World Record for rolling a car eight and a half times. Gosling commended Holladay's achievement, highlighting the incredible talent and commitment of the stunt team.
The Fall Guy premiered at SXSW in Austin, Texas, and is set to hit theaters on May 3. The film's action-packed scenes and impressive stunts are expected to captivate audiences and showcase the extraordinary work of stunt performers in the entertainment industry.
