Ryan Gosling was very charming on Kimmel, talking about how the women at his mother’s wedding weren’t interested in his celebrity status, they just wanted to tell him about all the secret food stashes at the venue (“There was a lot of, during the service, like these wonderful older Italian women just whispering to me about food. At one point, this one woman said, ‘There’s a tortellini in the freezer!’ Then later on, almost towards the vows, another woman said, ‘There’s a smoked mozzarella in the fridge.’ And then another woman went, ‘It’s from Naples'”) and how his role in First Man has confused his kids (“I think they think I’m an astronaut now.

I just mean it;ll be nice if we can do some of this gender play. Anne gets to play with some masculine qualities and Eddie gets to play with some feminine qualities, just little things like bringing that out in the wardrobe…She’s the one in the tie, and he’s the one taking the tie off.”
