Ryan Gosling Says He ‘Cried Too Hard’ to Taylor Swift’s ‘All Too Well’ While Shooting ‘Fall Guy’

Even Ryan Gosling isn’t immune to the tear-jerking powers of Taylor Swift‘s “All Too Well.” In a new interview with Entertainment Weekly published Thursday (May 2), the actor opened up about shooting a scene in Fall Guy in which his character, Colt, has a good crying session in the car while listening to the pop star’s Red ballad, revealing that he ended up sobbing a little too much for the upcoming film’s final cut.

“I remember I cried too hard, and they cut it out,” he told the publication. “There were so many tears. It was a moment for Colt to really get it out. ‘All Too Well’ came on, and he had a good car cry. I mean, he’d been through a lot. He was jet-lagged.”

“So yeah, that song comes on, you’re going to let it rip,” the Barbie star continued. “A little Taylor Swift comes on, you’re alone in your car in the parking lot …”

Gosling’s costar Emily Blunt added, “The amount of tears they cut in post was almost hysterical, actually.”

A snippet of the scene in question appears in one of the Fall Guy trailers. Colt, a stunt double in love with Jody (Blunt), the director of a film he’s working on, takes a moment alone to let out some tears in his car as Swift’s Billboard Hot 100-topping breakup track plays on the radio. All of a sudden, Jody approaches the car and knocks on the window, startling Colt.

“Have you been crying to Taylor Swift?” she asks, to which Gosling’s character replies, “Doesn’t everyone?”

In another recent interview, the Canadian thespian revealed that “All Too Well” also happens to be his own personal favorite Swift track, telling Fandango that it “has a real soft spot in [his] heart.” Meanwhile, Blunt said she prefers “Cruel Summer.”

Shortly afterward that interview, the two stars performed a spoof version of “All Too Well” on Saturday Night Live, earning Swift’s praise. “All Too Well (Ryan and Emily’s Version)!!!” the pop superstar wrote on Instagram after the Gosling-hosted episode aired. “Watch me accidentally catch myself singing this version on tour. This monologue is everything.”
