Director David Leitch’s latest film, The Fall Guy, is a tribute to the stunt community. The marketing campaign highlights this connection, especially with Ryan Gosling’s impressive stunt work.
In a recent featurette, Gosling and his stunt doubles, Logan Holladay, Ben Jenkin, and Troy Brown, share a fun carpool experience. Leitch challenges Gosling to pick up the team in a carpool style without singing.
But Gosling surprises everyone by singing along, showcasing their stunt skills while having a blast. This lighthearted clip gives a look into the fun they had behind the scenes.
Both Gosling and co-star Emily Blunt are riding high from their recent hits, Barbie and Oppenheimer. The Fall Guy builds on this momentum. Gosling’s recent appearance on SNL, where he channeled his character Ken from Barbie, has audiences excited.
The Fall Guy is a perfect mix of action and comedy
In The Fall Guy, Gosling plays Colt Seavers, a stuntman who returns to a movie set directed by his ex-girlfriend, Jody, played by Blunt. When the lead actor disappears, Colt must find him to save Jody’s debut film. The movie promises epic action sequences and hilarious moments.
Blunt shared her experience working with Gosling, praising his improvisation skills. Gosling added that blending action and comedy in one film is what makes The Fall Guy unique.
Directed by David Leitch and written by Drew Pearce, the film also features Aaron Taylor-Johnson, Winston Duke, Hannah Waddingham, Stephanie Hsu, and Teresa Palmer. The Fall Guy premieres on May 3 in the US.
