Ryan Gosling’s upcoming action-comedy movie, “The Fall Guy,” has received an unexpected vote of confidence from legendary director Steven Spielberg. Based on the ABC series and directed by David Leitch, the film features Gosling as Colt Seavers, an aging stuntman who becomes embroiled in a rescue mission on a film set. Emily Blunt co-stars as Jody Moreno, Colt’s ex-girlfriend and a film director.
During an encounter at the Golden Globes, Spielberg approached Gosling and expressed his admiration for “The Fall Guy,” surprising the actor. Gosling recounted the moment, expressing his disbelief that Spielberg would be interested in speaking to him. Spielberg’s endorsement left Gosling elated, emphasizing the significance of the director’s approval.
Despite Gosling’s recent fame from his role in “Barbie,” which garnered attention and success, it’s uncertain whether his Barbie fans will flock to see “The Fall Guy.” While Barbie’s fanbase is predominantly young and female, “The Fall Guy” targets an older male demographic. Nonetheless, Gosling remains optimistic about the film’s reception, especially with Spielberg’s endorsement.
With its premiere scheduled at the upcoming SXSW festival, “The Fall Guy” anticipates a favorable reception among audiences, buoyed by Spielberg’s seal of approval. While it may not match the box office success of “Barbie,” Gosling’s satisfaction is assured knowing that his latest project has earned the praise of one of Hollywood’s most esteemed directors.
