LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA – Ryan Gosling, the star of the critically acclaimed movie “La La Land,” recently opened up about a particular moment in the film that still bothers him. Despite the movie receiving numerous Oscar nominations, Gosling revealed his regret over a specific scene during a video interview with the Wall Street Journal.
During the interview, Gosling expressed his frustration with a scene where he and co-star Emma Stone were dancing. He admitted that a decision he made during filming has haunted him ever since. Gosling explained that while Stone’s hands were supposed to be raised in the air, he chose to flatten his hand instead of pointing it skyward, a choice that he now considers lazy and uncool.
Reflecting on the scene, Gosling humorously referred to his hand gesture as “La La Hand” and was surprised to learn from the interviewer that dancers often call it “hamburger hands.” Despite his background in dance, Gosling acknowledged that it did not necessarily benefit him during the making of “La La Land” as he jokingly referred to himself as “Hamburger Hands Gosling.”
The actor’s candid conversation about his regretful moment in the film sheds light on the behind-the-scenes decisions and challenges that actors face while bringing characters to life on screen. Gosling’s vulnerability and self-deprecating humor offer a glimpse into the complexities of the filmmaking process and the lasting impact of even the smallest creative choices.
Overall, Gosling’s honest reflection on his performance in “La La Land” serves as a reminder of the meticulous attention to detail and dedication required in the world of filmmaking. Despite the film’s success, his admission of a personal flaw in his portrayal showcases the ongoing pursuit of perfection and continuous growth in the art of storytelling on the big screen.
