Though she didn’t name any of the co-stars she didn’t like, Emily Blunt told Howard Stern that she had a great time working with Ryan Gosling on “The Fall Guy” — and not just that, but they’re friends off-screen as well. “I love his wife, Eva,” Blunt said of Gosling’s partner Eva Mendes. “I love their children, and I feel like I’m very lucky to be friends with a gem of a person like him.”
This doesn’t come as a total surprise only because Blunt and Gosling have been on a completely charming press tour for “The Fall Guy,” which kicked off in earnest at the 2024 Academy Awards in March. The two nominees playfully bantered onstage about their “rivalry” — Gosling stars in “Barbie” and Blunt in “Oppenheimer,” which formed the box office sensation known as “Barbenheimer” together in the summer of 2023 — and showed off their natural chemistry, and when Gosling hosted “Saturday Night Live” in April, Blunt appeared in his monologue to help him sing a reworked version of Taylor Swift’s beloved song “All Too Well.”
Anyone who’s seen “The Fall Guy” also knows that Gosling and Blunt have excellent chemistry on-screen as stuntman Colt Seavers and camera operator turned director Jody Moreno, who begin the movie in the honeymoon phase of their romance, split, and then rekindle their relationship. Blunt may not have revealed any other names while speaking to Stern, but it’s safe to say that she and Gosling were able to use their natural chemistry to the fullest in this delightful film.
“The Fall Guy” is in theaters now.
