Ryan Gosling took a stroll back into memory lane and recalled his feature film debut.
In the latest appearance on Jimmy Kimmel Live! on Wednesday, Gosling talked about working with the late Burt Reynolds on the 1996 movie Frankenstein and Me.
During the conversation, Ryan revealed that the Deliverance star, who died at age 82 in September 2018, had a crush on his mom Donna, as per People Magazine.
The show host asked Gosling whether Reynolds was friendly on set, and the Barbie actor responded affirmatively but speculated that Reynolds’ friendliness might have stemmed from an admiration for his mom Donna.
“I thought he took a shine to me. I thought he thought there was something special about me. And then I realized that I have a really beautiful mom,” Gosling said
He went on to say, “He was just kind of interested. It was like I was getting like a secondary shine. The real shine was for my mom. And I was like, ‘Oh, this is secondary shine.’ “
“How long did it take you to figure that out?” Kimmel questioned, as Gosling joked, “I wish I had found out sooner.”
Further, Gosling clarified there was no relationship between his mom and Reynolds.
For those unversed, Gosling starred as Kenny in his feature film debut, while Reynolds starred as Les Williams.
It is pertinent to mention that Gosling’s upcoming film The Fall Guy is all set to release on May 3.
