Does Ryan Gosling remember lines from The Notebook, Barbie, La La Land, Drive, and some of his other biggest films? bit.ly/VarietySubscribe / variety / variety / variety
That goes for Blade Runner 2049 as well. Hell, his most iconic moment in that film is just him silently staring up at a giant naked hologram of Ana De Armas
Perfect film. Not many A-list actors would've made the choice to underplay that role so much instead of showing off their talent, he basically did so little acting there that he became a joke for a while, people saying the most acting he can do is chew a toothpick. But he did exactly what was right for that movie.
He's one of the best actors of this generation, but what you described, he's like that in most of his roles. He doesn't over act, and that's the same with all great actors. @empireoflightz
@@CasterOilCamerata88 with barely a microexpression, too. A lot of people said his performance was "too stiff" and "too robotic", which is the most insane thing I've ever heard, like did they even know what character he was playing? 😂
I like the fact that he struggled at remembering a lot of those, but found " The place beyond the pines " in an instant (because he met Eva in this one). It's cute.
He appears so unaffected by the whole Hollywood stuff, like being an actor was just a regular job and he's lucky to be doing it. Very likable and yet still underrated.
@@kelluesque Well, next to Leonardo DiCaprio, George Clooney, Brad Pitt... who are always a big deal no matter what they do, at what age, I think he is. He earns credit for his great performances. But that's only my opinion.
He knew that was the Notebook. The wage was a dead giveaway. He didn't want anybody to think that that movie is memorable for him. Rachel is his ex, not his current wife.
honestly he might've done it to explain why that movie sucks so much, sounds like the directors and crew were constantly overeating, how can you make a decent movie like that
He was on a special through the entire thing and couldn't have the snacks. I saw a video where they said he finally broke the diet just before shooting ended and he ate an entire pizza.
What I love about Ryan Gosling is that he looks nonchalant enough that it seems like he doesn't take himself too seriously, yet he also has the utmost respect for his craft, the latest example being Ken. He could have so easily tanked the role and not taken it so seriously, yet he was brilliant at 'being absurd'.
It’s funny you mention that because I was an extra in the movie they filmed together (directed by George Clooney). Clooney spent so much time just entertaining the extras between takes. It was great! And Gosling wished me happy birthday on a different day (in passing). He wasn’t in the scenes that were being filmed while I was there, which was kinda disappointing at the time, but I was SO glad to have had a chance encounter. I don’t really have anything else to add.. I was just looking for an excuse to retell that story. 😆
La La Land is peak cinema. Also, what he said - THAT! That's what the film is all about. It's an ode to art itself woven through the love story of two young individuals supporting each other pursuing their "foolish" dreams. Not just another romantic film with a sad ending...
It’s my favourite movie ever. Emma Stone, Ryan Gosling the best duo, and story about Mia and Sebastian - my roman empire. It’s real. And picture, music (jazz my love), action, it’s so good work, i’ll never stop loving this film.
One of my alltime favorite movies. People debate the ending but that last sequence and look... it just says everything. I was disappointed at Ryan's lack of a win, especially because he did multiple iconic roles in those short years before his break.
Drive, BR 2049, First Man (which they didn’t even talk about but is great), and La La Land are my favorites, although my favorite performance of his is probably The Nice Guys which is also a great movie.
Lars and the Real Girl….should not be over looked. I’ve actually watched it a few times. He is so wonderful! The part where he is lying In the tree house singing…L is for the way you look at me!. Love it! The other is when he gives the teddy bear cpr..scenes so understated yet wonderfully done❤️
A lot of them weren't in this. "Remember the Titans", "The Believer", "Murder by Numbers", "The Slaughter Rule", "United States of Leland", "Stay", "Fracture", "All Good Things", "The Ides of March", and "First Man"
His personality has a lot to do with it. It puzzled me that the director in "The Notebook" did think he was attractive. Of his movies before that one, "The Believer" is the only one where he isn't at all attractive. "United States of Leland" he just looks so different. He is really cute in "Remember the Titans", the part in the locker room where he is singing "ain't no mountain high enough". In the movie he is actually singing it, ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-7l8IGC_gVNg.html Murder by Number with his interactions with Sandra Bullock's character make him look like he could seduce a brick and in the rest he looks scary. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-4-Ef1pYrOEc.html He is also cute in "The Slaughter Rule", but it is hard to find. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-MUimgLkHK_Y.html
Barbie was the first Gosling movie I had scene, now I have seen all of them, except ca couple I can't make myself watch, 'Bladerunner" isn't my kind of movie, but my husband likes it and "Only God Forgives". I don't like "All Good Things", but I have watched it. The interviews are the best.
@@yevgeniyaleshchenko849 A mystery isnt just who is the killer. The huge part of a mystery is the how. We don't know how until near the end of the film
It seems really fitting that Ryan struggled to remember the lines considering he’s such a master of silent acting. I find that most of his best performances actually have very little dialogue which so fascinating
I legit cant recommend The Nice Guys enough. That movie is absolutely brilliant, and Ryan Gosling and Russell Crowe is just the perfect comedic duo you didn’t know you needed.❤
That’s the interesting thing with men… when they start off not that attractive.. they get better looking as they age. But beautiful men as they age they lose it and become plain. Like Brad Pitt
I feel like Half Nelson and Blue Valentine and The Place Beyond the Pines have a special place in his heart, as they should. He’s done some wackier movies recently, but he made his name doing those more down to earth dramas about ordinary people. Lars and the Real Girl is awesome too, and really unique.
This gentleman is going to be if he isn’t already the best actor we have! Listen to him talk about the people he’s worked with from co-stars to directors to the film crews. He seems to be so gracious to all the people he’s worked with.
This grown man has retained so much of his boyish charm. Some are crushed by the world, some mask themselves with arrogance or brashness… I wonder how he’s kept his head so seemingly straight while maintaining that youthful spark.
I have to think he comes from a really good family. He was on Colbert a bit back and showed a note from his mom to "bee good on the show 🐝" seems very wholesome
I was thinking that but the most obvious one would be “one small step …” which is technically just a famous line in general and not really his. Still its probably one of the best biopics out there
That Mickey Mouse Club clip was so cute lol Justin always wanted to be Ryan Gosling in movies, but has zero acting chops! The better and nicer actor/person wins in the end.
RG said it best himself: ‘I dreamed of one day making movies and now movies have made my life a dream.’ He’s very grounded, enjoys his job, loves his family, values females and his friends and colleagues. Mega kudos to his mom for raising an amazing son! 😊 6:55 You can immediately see the smile when he’s reading the line. He Knew right away it was from ‘The Place Beyond the Pines.’ 😂❤
Dude's done a lot of great films and is a much better actor than he gets credit for, but the one he did that made me a fan of his for life is Drive, ironically the one where he probably does the least amount of acting. What often makes the best actors is also knowing when to dial it down, that movie's all about atmosphere so I love how he says about Refn realising that that was the movie, them just driving in LA listening to music. He didn't need to add much, he did exactly as much or as little as he should've, and now it's a stonecold classic and I still get chills down my spine when I see scenes from it, even having already seen it 10 times.
I liked Drive, but I could do with less of the blood all over the place or stomping a guys head that many times. The acting is in his face, which is what he is best at.
@@actualkarenokboomer3158 Refn has short but strongly hyperviolent moments in basically all his films, you know what you're getting into at this point 🤷I actually think there's more morality to doing it that way than more gratuitious styles like Tarantino's which makes it seem kinda fun, you feel much less inclined to be involved in anything like that after watching the sorts of scenes you describe.
@@jstonerganjasaurus4238 I love Only God Forgives but it's a pretty depraved film 😅 I think it can only be enjoyed as an audiovisual art piece more than an actual film. Need a good screen and sound system too, not a film for your laptop, it's all about the images and thar Martinez score
Him not necessarily remembering all the lines to the movie he spoke them from becomes banal with all the great little stories and anecdotes and insights of those movies he shares. He’s really a gem of an actor and seemingly a good chill full of personality and humorous person overall. I like that ❤
Love all the behind the scenes stories for each film. And his struggle with reading his lines as a failed audition had me laughing so hard! Great interview!
It's good that he talked about Sam Shepard, another handsome actor 💛, who was perfect as his dad. James Garner and James Marsden also said they thought it was just a little tv type movie when they filmed it. And here we are, one of the most famous romantic films ever 💛
I have to give kudos to your format, actually allowing him to speak rather than rushing to the next movie like WIRED always do in their "[actor] answers most searched questions" series. Keeping the video quiet deserves praise as well - focusing on the spoken word and bits and pieces of music like the piano piece from La La Land, so rare these days.
There are a lot of things to like about Ryan Gosling, but my new favorite is that he gets one phone call to get out of jail - and he calls Ben Mendelsohn.
