In a surprising and heartwarming turn of events, Ryan Gosling's character in the upcoming action-comedy film, The Fall Guy, is caught shedding tears to a Taylor Swift ballad in the recently released trailer. Airing during the 2024 Super Bowl, this trailer has certainly caught the attention of fans and moviegoers alike.
The snippet showcases Gosling, who plays the role of Hollywood stuntman Colt Seavers, belting out the emotional tune 'All Too Well' by Taylor Swift. The particular version featured in the trailer is the highly anticipated 10-minute rendition from Red (Taylor's Version). As Gosling's character finds himself vulnerable and moved by the music, Emily Blunt's character, Jody Moreno, stumbles upon his tearful moment and humorously questions him, 'Have you been crying to Taylor Swift?'
Colt Seavers, unashamedly, responds with a rhetorical question of his own, 'Doesn't everybody?' This lighthearted exchange adds a touch of relatability and humor to the film's plot, resonating with audiences who have found themselves emotionally moved by Taylor Swift's music over the years.
Interestingly, the trailer made its debut during the Super Bowl, while Swift herself was in attendance at Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas supporting her boyfriend, Travis Kelce, as his Kansas City Chiefs confronted the San Francisco 49ers. With Swift's connection to the sports event and her ever-growing fanbase, the trailer's release certainly made headlines and generated excitement.
Directed by renowned stuntman-turned-director David Leitch and inspired by the 1980s TV series of the same name, The Fall Guy promises an exhilarating and entertaining experience. To prepare for his role as Colt, Gosling consulted with Lee Majors, the actor who originally portrayed the character in The Fall Guy series. Gosling shared his admiration for Majors, describing their time together in Australia as 'pretty great' and highlighting Majors' humor and graciousness.
The film also features the talented Winston Duke and Stephanie Hsu from Everything Everywhere All at Once. Universal Pictures describes The Fall Guy as a 'love letter to action movies and the hard-working and under-appreciated crew of people who make them.' This premise, combined with the star-studded cast and the anticipation surrounding Gosling's emotional serenade to Taylor Swift, makes for an exciting cinematic experience.
Fans and movie enthusiasts can mark their calendars as The Fall Guy is set to hit theaters on May 3. With its blend of action, comedy, and unexpected tearful moments, this film is primed to be a must-watch for those seeking an entertaining and heartfelt experience. Get ready to laugh, cry, and appreciate the magic of movies and the people behind them.
