Ryan Gosling Fanboys As He Reveals Steven Spielberg Hugged Him And Said He Loved Upcoming Film The Fall Guy: ‘That Was An Ever-Time Moment For Me’
Ryan Gosling is fanboyed over an interaction with legendary filmmaker Steven Spielberg.
The 43-year-old actor opened up about meeting the 77-year-old Raiders Of The Lost Ark director in which he praised Gosling’s highly anticipated film The Fall Guy, which dropped a trailer months ago.
The two crossed paths at the Golden Globe Awards in Los Angeles in January, when Ryan described the encounter Variety Wednesday: ‘I saw Steven Spielberg walking towards me.
‘I don’t know Steven Spielberg. I thought there was no way he would come and talk to me. And yet he came closer and closer, and then I thought I knew what was going to happen. I’m going to point at him and he says, “Not you, behind you,” so I’m not going to do that.
“Finally I said, ‘Me?’ and he says, “Yes, you.” I say, “I’m sorry, I didn’t think you would come 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 43-year-old actor opened up about meeting the 77-year-old Raiders Of The Lost Ark director, praising Gosling’s highly anticipated film The Fall Guy (pictured), which dropped a trailer months ago.
Ryan couldn’t believe the directing legend had received so much praise for his latest project and explained how valuable it was.
The actor explained, “As far as I’m concerned, it doesn’t matter what happens anymore.
“Steven Spielberg liked it. That was an all-time moment for me. I’m really excited for people to see it. I think it is a very special film.’
The Fall stars Guy Ryan as Colt Seavers, a stuntman who left the company a year early to focus on both his physical and mental health. He is called upon again when the star of a mega-budget studio film directed by his ex goes missing.
The film also stars Emily Blunt, Aaron Taylor-Johnson, Winston Duke, Hannah Waddingham, Teresa Palmer, Stephanie Hsu and Adam Dunn.
The upcoming feature film is based on the 1980s television series of the same name and is directed by John Wick director David Leitch.
The show’s cast was led by Lee Majors, of Six Million Dollar Man fame, and also included Heather Thomas and Markie Post.
The Fall Guy lasted a total of five seasons, the last of which ended in 1986.

Development of the film adaptation of the program initially began in 2010 and Martin Campbell was eyed as director.
The project was later tossed around and it was announced that McG would direct the feature film three years later.
Dwayne Johnson was in negotiations at the time to star in the feature film.
However, both entertainment industry figures left the project, which was picked up by Leitch in 2020, when it was announced that Gosling had signed on to star.
