Emma Stone and Ryan Gosling hammed it up for the cameras as they attended the Crazy, Stupid, Love world premiere at the Ziegfeld Theater in New York City today (July 19).
Joined by co-star Steve Carrell, the on-screen lovebirds went formal in black - her in a lace frock, him in a grid patterned suit - as they worked the red carpet side by side ahead of the debut of their new romantic comedy.
Meanwhile, Emma says she needed a stunt double to film a lift scene with Ryan after she had a panic attack.
The 22-year-old actress broke both of her arms in gymnastics class when she was seven after her partner dropped her and trying to film a scene in Crazy Stupid Love where costar Ryan lifts her above his head brought on a “full scale hour-long primal panic attack”.
“I had a panic attack so that was a stunt double from a distance. We tried a couple of times but it didn’t work out for me. Ryan didn’t do anything wrong. He thinks that I was afraid he was gonna drop me,” Emma tells BlokTalkRadio. “When I was seven, I was in gymnastics class and I was standing on the parallel bars and the woman let go of my ankles and I fell forward and broke both of my arms on the mat. And I had this dormant primal fear I didn’t realize until he [Gosling] was lifting me over his head over the front and my arms immediately went, ’No!’ My body knew that this could break your arms. I really had a full scale hour-long primal panic attack. It was bizarre.”
However, Ryan and one of the movie’s directors Glenn Ficarra understood and quickly called in a stunt double to stop the hysterics.
Emma adds: “They were so nice to me. One of the directors, Glenn Ficarra, and Ryan were sitting with me in a bed in the house we were shooting in rubbing my back like, ’You’re alright, we’ll get the stunt double to do it.’”
