– Paul Rudd is Carell’s alternate pick for the ‘rizz’ title.
– Tom Holland is named ‘the ultimate rizz master’ by Timothée Chalamet, although Carell sees otherwise.
– Carell engages with the Gen Z slang term ‘rizz’, a shortened version of ‘charisma’.
Steve Carell, presently receiving accolades for his theatrical debut in Despicable Me 4, has surprised Tom Holland fans by naming Ryan Gosling as Hollywood’s ultimate ‘rizz’ king. In the wake of learning this Gen Z slang, Carell believes it appropriately describes his Crazy, Stupid, Love co-star.
The Emergence of ‘Rizz’ in Hollywood
During an interview promoting Despicable Me 4, Carell was introduced to the word ‘rizz’, a Gen Z vocabulary used as a shorthand for ‘charisma’. Without hesitation, the accomplished actor associated the term with none other than Ryan Gosling, creating quite an interesting conversation about charisma and its role in the film industry. He jested that ‘rizz’ was akin to the sound of a rollerblade abruptly halting, further highlighting his playful nature and understanding of Gen Z lingo.
The Reign of the ‘Rizz’ King, Ryan Gosling
In the film industry, charisma or ‘rizz’ is an essential trait, and Carell felt Gosling embodied it perfectly. Gosling, the actor from Crazy, Stupid, Love, was accordingly crowned the ‘rizz’ king, even being humorously referred to as ‘Rizz Gosling’. This championing of Gosling as the personification of ‘rizz’ might shock fans of younger Hollywood stars, particularly those of Tom Holland.
While Gosling was Carell’s pick for the ultimate king of ‘rizz’, he mentioned another favorite, 55-year-old Paul Rudd. Having starred with Rudd in The 40-Year-Old Virgin, Carell felt his charisma also mirrors the definition of ‘rizz’.
The ‘Rizz’ Challenge between Tom Holland and Timothée Chalamet
Tom Holland, renowned for his role as Spider-Man, humbly confessed in a Buzzfeed interview that he does not view himself as brimming with ‘rizz’. However, his peers have different perceptions. Actor Timothée Chalamet, during a game session for LADbible, claimed Holland was the ‘ultimate rizz master’, a sentiment echoed by many, including internet users and Zendaya.
Closing Remarks
Despite Chalamet’s views and the general Internet consensus, neither Holland nor Chalamet made the cut for Carell’s list of Hollywood’s ‘rizz’ masters. As the debate creates a buzz, fans can enjoy watching Carell in Despicable Me 4, which is now being screened in cinemas. The film Crazy, Stupid, Love, featuring the ‘rizz’ king Gosling, is also accessible for rent on AppleTV+.
Regardless of who holds the ultimate ‘rizz’ title, it’s clear that charisma continues to be an attractive and important characteristic in Hollywood.
