In a world where love knows no bounds, Ryan Gosling, the man with cheekbones sculpted by the gods themselves, unveiled a heartwarming ode to his beloved Eva Mendes in his latest cinematic escapade, “The Fall Guy.”
Picture this: Ryan, the 43-year-old human Ken doll, gracing the silver screen alongside luminaries like Emily Blunt. While basking in the spotlight at SXSW, Ryan dropped a bombshell revelation that left the audience clutching their sides with laughter and tears.
Here’s the scoop straight from the horse’s mouth (or should we say, the Gosling’s mouth): Eva had a four-legged companion named Hugo, a Belgian Malinois with a flair for the dramatic and a penchant for French cuisine. Yes, you heard it right. This pup wasn’t just your average Fido; he was a bilingual, suave canine with a taste for the finer things in life.
Now, brace yourselves for the pièce de résistance. In “The Fall Guy,” Ryan’s character finds himself entangled in a web of intrigue, danger, and canine companionship. But here’s the kicker: the dog in the movie? He only speaks French. Cue the collective gasps and awws from the audience.
As Ryan so eloquently put it during the Q&A session, this furry friend is his homage to the dearly departed Hugo. Because nothing says “I miss you, buddy” quite like casting a French-speaking dog in a Hollywood blockbuster.
But hold onto your seats, because director David Leitch had some pearls of wisdom to drop as well. Apparently, when you’re knee-deep in action scenes, you need to spice things up. Rain? Check. Ice? Double check. But why stop there when you can throw in an animal co-star for good measure? Move over, CGI dragons; there’s a new scene-stealer in town.
Ryan Gosling, the man, the myth, the legend, paying homage to a furry friend in the most spectacularly absurd way possible. Because in Hollywood, anything is possible—even a French-speaking dog stealing the show.
