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,“
continues 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.”

Russell Crowe and Ryan Gosling have a mutual admiration
society going on, bonding on the set of Shane Black’s
'70s-set crime caper,
The Nice Guys
.
By Gill Pringle
While most actors might turn to the Bible for a movie
about the resurrection of Christ, Joseph Fiennes instead
checked in at the nearest police station and signed
up for gladiator bootcamp. Cast as Clavius, a Roman
tribune tasked with locating the post-crucifixion body of
Jesus Christ – played by our own Cliff Curtis – Fiennes
views
Risen
as a missing corpse mystery as much as a
biblical epic. “My real way into Clavius came from sitting
down with a detective and talking about what it’s like
to question suspects. Although this is a biblical story, I
wanted to be pragmatic about what Clavius needs to do,
because I really see this as a noir detective story.”
