‘The Fall Guy’ Raises The Roof At SXSW World Premiere And Ryan Gosling Didn’t Even Need To Sing

deadline.com:

“Don’t worry, I’m not going to sing — I promise” beamed The Fall Guy star Ryan Gosling to a crowded Paramount Theatre in Austin on Tuesday night.

He promptly received an immediate collection of “awws” and “boos” at the world premiere of the Universal title at SXSW. That’s not a bad thing: a number of people are still riding high from his Oscar performance of nominated song “I’m Just Ken.” Similar to Amazon MGM’s Road House, this fire-ablazing, cars-a-crashing movie played to loud laughs and big cheers tonight.

The start of summer during the first weekend of May is missing a Marvel film, but, wow, this action movie inspired by the hit 1980s TV show is a great backup plan. “I want to say, I’m Ryan Gosling and I did almost none of my stunts in this movie,” he said to great cheers.

Gosling gave a shout-out to his stuntman, Logan Holiday, who broke the Guinness World Record for the most canon rolls in this movie. “Eight and half rolls,” explained Gosling to great laughs. “There’s a moment in the film where he buckles me in for a stunt he’s about to do, and after it happens, I come out of the car and he pats me on the back for a stunt he just did.” “How f*cked up is that?!” he said. “It’s an opportunity to finally acknowledge the stunt performers, the incredible contribution they make to movies,” said Gosling. “We hope it’s reflective of how much the crew gives,” said the actor during the post-screening Q&A.
