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.”

C rowe plays a small-time enforcer to 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 Gosling’s clueless private eye, and both actors were surprised to learn how 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.” Gill Pringle Risen is out on DVD and Blu-ray on June 29 FINDING JESUS
