He described the encounter to Variety, expressing his amazement at the director’s recognition of his work. Gosling added:
I don’t know Steven Spielberg. I thought there’s no way he’s coming to talk to me. And yet he kept getting closer, and then I thought I know what’s going to happen. I’m going to point to him, and he’s going to go, ‘Not you, behind you,’ so I’m not going to do that. Finally I said, ‘Me?’ and he goes, “Yeah you.’ I go, ‘I’m sorry I didn’t think you were coming to talk to me.’ And I stood up and he gave me a hug and said, ‘I just saw “Fall Guy” and I loved it.
The Jaws director praised his latest film, The Fall Guy, which left the actor feeling thrilled and validated. For him, Steven Spielberg’s endorsement was a career highlight. The Fall Guy, directed by the genius of David Leitch, known for his incredible work in Deadpool 2 and Bullet Train, is inspired by the 1980s TV show of the same name.
In the film, Gosling plays a stuntman who tries to locate a missing lead actor, while Emily Blunt portrays a director and his former romantic interest.
This movie was an intriguing next step for both Ryan Gosling and Emily Blunt after their Oscar-nominated performances in Barbie and Oppenheimer, respectively.
