Ryan Gosling premiered his highly-anticipated film, The Fall Guy, at SXSW this week, followed by a star-studded screening in Los Angeles. The event was attended by director David Leitch and co-stars Emily Blunt, Winston Duke, Hannah Waddingham, and Stephanie Hsu.
In the movie, Gosling plays a stuntman who is reluctantly pulled back into the dangerous world of stunts when the lead actor of a film directed by his ex-girlfriend goes missing. At the screening, Gosling praised the hard work of stunt performers, jokingly stating that they deserve more credit for their bravery and skill.
The special event also honored stuntman Logan Holladay, who set a Guinness World Record for the most cannon rolls in a car during a scene in The Fall Guy. Director David Leitch, himself a former stunt performer, highlighted the importance of recognizing the often-overlooked efforts of stunt performers in the film industry.
Actress Hannah Waddingham, who plays a key role in the film, shared her admiration for stuntwomen while admitting her own physical limitations. The Fall Guy promises to shed light on the challenging and thrilling world of stunts and the incredible individuals who make them possible.
Audiences can look forward to experiencing the action-packed film when it hits theaters on May 3, showcasing the talents of both the on-screen stars and the behind-the-scenes heroes who bring the excitement to life. Stay tuned for more updates on The Fall Guy as it continues to make waves in the entertainment industry.
