Watch Ryan Gosling Celebrate Stunts By Decimating Everyone Backstage at ‘Kimmel’

Ryan Gosling is going full method in his promotion of The Fall Guy. During an appearance on Jimmy Kimmel Live to discuss the film, which is out Friday, the actor arrived by beating up everyone backstage and then joined forces with Guillermo Rodriguez to take down the last man standing.

The stunt sequence also featured fellow late-night guest Jeff Ross, who made fun of Gosling’s peach suit, saying “I didn’t know it was still Easter.” Gosling left Ross unharmed, but did borrow his dressing room lamp to smash over someone’s head. As he arrived to the stage, he yelled “Stunts!”

“You really beat a lot of people up on the way in,” Kimmel noted as Gosling sat down for his interview. “I can’t stop stunting, Jimmy!” Gosling replied. “I couldn’t stop Ken-ing and now I can’t stop stunting. It makes you feel alive.”

During his chat with Kimmel, Gosling spoke about his recent appearance on Saturday Night Live and the revival of his Beavis character at this week’s premiere of The Fall Guy. “Well, that’s Dean and Jeff,” Gosling said after Kimmel showed the footage of him with Mikey Day as Butt-Head. “See I look a lot like him and he looks like Beavis. It’s weird… They’re having their moment.”

Kimmel also mentioned that Gosling “stole the show” during the Oscars with his performance of “I’m Just Ken.” He recalled how important it was that Slash participated in the show, which was discussed as everything was coming together.

“We had to have Slash,” Gosling said. “But he’s an enigma. How can you have Slash? You can’t have Slash. There’s so much mystery around Slash. It was very tense because he had a gig in China the night before and then one in Thailand the night after, and so it was like, ‘Slash is never going to be able to be here.’ He wasn’t at rehearsal. And then suddenly as I was walking into dress rehearsal I saw a guitar case and it had a skull with a top hat on it and I knew that Slash had arrived. And then after the show he was gone.”

Last month, Gosling admitted that he almost turned down the opportunity to perform “I’m Just Ken,” his breakout hit from Barbie. He told Jimmy Fallon that his first response was “100 percent no.” The actor eventually changed his mind, but shared that his initial reluctance was rooted in the fact that “there’s a lot of ways that can go wrong.”
