Ryan Gosling's upcoming movie, The Fall Guy, features a dog co-star that holds personal significance for the actor. During a Q&A session following the movie's premiere at SXSW, Gosling and director David Leitch revealed that the dog character in the film was inspired by Gosling's partner Eva Mendes' late pet, a Belgian Malinois named Hugo who only responded to commands in French.
In the movie, Gosling's character Colt befriends a dog named Jean Claude while on a mission to find a missing action movie star. The dog, portrayed by two female Kelpies, adds an interesting dynamic to the action scenes in the film, according to Leitch.
