Prominent Canadian actors Ryan Reynolds and Ryan Gosling are creating a buzz again in the Hollywood circuit, this time for their playful camaraderie. Reynolds recently took to his Instagram story to publicly appreciate Gosling's film, ‘The Fall Guy'. This comes as a heartwarming surprise given the film's lackluster box office performance.
Reynolds' Intriguing Instagram Praise
Ryan Reynolds, currently amid the promotions for his anticipated Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) release ‘Deadpool & Wolverine', found time to sing praises for Gosling's movie on social media. The Instagram story read, “Finally saw The Fall Guy movie on the big screen and it did not disappoint. A beautiful love letter to the stunt community, but also a damn joyball start to finish.”
Reynolds' admiration for ‘The Fall Guy', which also stars Emily Blunt, is particularly intriguing given the film's previously underwhelming reception at the box office. However, the actor's words of appreciation are bound to uplift the spirits of cinema-goers and possibly even spark renewed interest in the film.
The Gosling-Reynolds Camaraderie
The articulate praise from Reynolds is also noteworthy as it adds to the fun bond we've seen developing between the pair. Gosling made headlines during the premiere of ‘The Fall Guy' when he quipped about a shirt that Reynolds borrowed from him for a scene in ‘Deadpool & Wolverine'.
Box Office Performance Vs Audience Love
Despite initial box office disappointments, public sentiments seem to be in favor of ‘The Fall Guy'. After the remarkable success of Gosling's ‘Barbie' and Blunt's ‘Oppenheimer', expectations were sky-high for their collaboration. However, ticket sales didn't reflect the same enthusiasm.
While the ‘Barbenheimer' magic didn't pay off entirely here, ‘The Fall Guy' made a significant impact on its audience. Its theatrical tribute to the stunt community and the delightful on-screen chemistry between Gosling and Blunt generated a positive word-of-mouth, which indeed is helping the film's performance.
The Underdog Triumph
Even though ‘The Fall Guy' could not create a blockbuster frenzy, it's far from a cinematic disaster. The film, now available on digital media platforms including Apple TV+ and YouTube, and at nearby theaters, is likely to cross the $150 million mark soon. As per the Box Office Mojo statistics, it currently sits at a respectable $145.5 million.
Upcoming Reynolds-Gosling Hijinks
As Reynolds gears up for his next MCU big release and Gosling keeps creating waves with his distinct roles, fans are eager for more banter and teamwork between the two. Their amusing public interactions hint at a friendly rivalry and mutual respect that keeps admirers awaiting their next move.
Overall, the story of ‘The Fall Guy' is a testament to the fact that a movie's impact goes beyond box office numbers. Its heartfelt tribute to the stunt community and the unwavering support from fellow artists like Reynolds proves that sometimes, audience appreciation outweighs financial earnings.
