During his Thursday appearance on The Late Show With Stephen Colbert, Ryan Gosling dug deep and answered some questions from the host that normally wouldn’t be revealed.

Included in that was a query on whether he had ever asked someone else for an autograph.

“The first person I asked was The Ultimate Warrior, and he said no,” Gosling said, referring to the pro wrestler. “But the second person I asked — the first person to give it to me — was Ms. Angela Bassett.”

Gosling said the moment came just after he had seen the 1993 Tina Turner biopic, What’s Love Got to Do With It, for which Bassett garnered a nomination for a Best Actress Oscar. Gosling was in the lobby of the AMC Theatre where he’d caught the movie.

“It was one of the best performances I’d ever seen, and still is,” Gosling told Colbert. Bassett was standing with actor and comedian Sinbad when he approached her. “I don’t know if they were with each other — I don’t know,” he said. “They were talking.”
