C rowe plays a small-time
enforcer to Gosling’s
clueless private eye, and
both actors were surprised to
learn how funny the other
one was.
Crowe has been a Gosling fan
since he saw him in Drive five
years ago. “I went backwards
from Drive to see where he came
from and I’ve seen everything
he’s done since. We just
laughed really easily and that’s
not something you could have
predicted,” he says, referencing
a slapstick scene in a men's
restroom where Gosling is sat on
the john juggling a magazine, a
cigarette and a gun.
“That was our first day
together on set,“ says Gosling.
“And I had my pants around
my ankles sitting on a toilet
and Russell is smoking in a
corner and we are both laughing
because this is so stupid and that
was the moment where I felt like
this is going to be fun.”
If Gosling’s Holland March is
a pretty useless PI, then he’s an
even worse father – cringing at
how he had to treat Angourie
Rice, the child actress who plays
his screen daughter.
“Russell and I were constantly
like, ’Oh my God this is just so
bad. How can we do this to her?’
But she was totally unfazed and
such an incredible kid with such
a great perspective, even though
we were both very apologetic all
the time,” says Gosling, 35, who
began his own career as a child
actor.
“I still remember being pulled
from the scene to go to school in
the trailer – it’s a weird life to be a
child actor. I wouldn’t recommend
it unless you feel you have no
other choice what to do,” he says.
Both actors received their own
share of bruises and scrapes on
the set, Crowe even breaking his
nose.
“Oh my God, I crawled to my
trailer every night,” says Gosling.
“I felt for Wile E. Coyote and
everything that he had gone
through in those Warner Brothers
cartoons. But even though it hurt,
I also love that stuff. Falling into
a pool, crashing through a plate
glass window or getting hit by a
car. I couldn’t get enough of it.”
The Nice Guys is in cinemas now.
BLACK COMEDY
Russell Crowe and Ryan Gosling have a mutual admiration
society going on, bonding on the set of Shane Black’s '70s-set

The Deadpool Blu-ray may not
contain a more violent, raunchier
and profanity-laden Director's
Cut as many speculated it would
(director Tim Miller has declared
he's happy with the film the way
it is), but the bonus features
more than compensate for the
lack for an R-rated version. The
movie's massive fanbase aren't
shortchanged with a handful of
EPK featurettes – this disc is fully
loaded! A 5-part documentary
feature covers all aspects of the
production in the same irreverent
tone as the film. The deleted
scenes clock in at 19 minutes and
include a significant sequence
that Miller (who provides an
optional commentary track) calls
the 'Cancer World Tour', in which
Wade takes a trip to Mexico in
search of a cure. Look out for
Nathan Fillion, too. 'Deadpool's
Funsack' rounds up all the promo
material that bombarded us
prior to the release, and the gag
reel is of course a belter, with
the improvisational nature of a
lot of the lines providing ample
alternate takes. It's a return to
the generous package of extras
we used to get in the early days
of Blu-ray and DVD. As Deadpool
would say, "Maximum effort!"
