Ryan Goslingis expressing his appreciation for stunt performers.

“There’s this sort of accepted dynamic where they come on set, they do all the cool stuff, they risk everything, and then they disappear into the shadows and we all pretend as though they were never there,” he added.

“Everyone else on set gets credit, but there’s just some sort of unspoken understanding that they won’t. Well, that ends today!” Gosling added.

Gosling, whoplays stuntman Colt Seaversin the film, made sure to give a special shoutout to his stunt double Logan Holladay and the rest of the team when asked howplaying the characterchanged the way he looked at fear.

“It took like eight stunt performers to make oneFall Guy. And there were times where I was like, ‘Should we be making a movie or robbing a bank?’ Because this is kind of the greatest bank robbing team,” he told reporters.

“Everyone had their own special skill, it was like theAvengersor something. And in fact, a lot of them probably were in theAvengers, if you look at their CVs. So it was just an honor to be a part of. I’ve benefited from their work and their help since, like I said, since I started,” Gosling continued.

“So to be a part of telling their story, and in some small way, trying to reflect just how vital they are and how important what they do is.”

“He’s buckling me into a car for a stunt he’s about to do, and then he goes on to do eight and a half cannon rolls, which is a world record, and then he pulls me out of the car and pats me on the back for the stunt that he just did,” Gosling told reporters of Holladay’s achievement.

“In any other movie, you wouldn’t know that. But in this movie you do. That’s sort of the lack of recognition, the contribution that they make to cinema, to some of the best moments in this film, the best moments in films in general that we love so much,” he added.
