Eva Mendes Applauds Ryan Gosling’s Successful Campaign for Oscar Stunt Recognition

Eva Mendes has publicly expressed her admiration for her partner, Ryan Gosling, following his instrumental role in advocating for the inclusion of a Best Stunt Design category at the Oscars. Mendes highlighted Gosling’s dedication during his press tour for “The Fall Guy,” where he consistently emphasized the need to honor stunt performers’ contributions to the film industry.

Gosling’s efforts included spotlighting his stunt doubles during interviews, orchestrating a dramatic stunt at the film’s premiere, and participating in segments that showcased the rigorous work of stunt professionals.
