Ryan Gosling’s two daughters with longtime partner Eva Mendes are unimpressed by their parents’ movie star status.
While promoting his new film The Fall Guy, the 43-year-old Oscar nominee confessed PEOPLE: “Do not care”.
Gosling and Mendes, who have been together since 2011, share daughters Esmeralda, nine, and Amada, eight.
To make her point, the Barbie star recalled a time when her children asked to “move forward” one of Mendes’ roles, even though the actress was starring in one of their favorite shows.
In 2021, Mendes voiced a yoga instructor in an episode of the hit ABC Kids animated series, Bluey.
‘Eva was in an episode of Bluey. “We both thought she was going to be huge,” she explained.
But Esmeralda and Amada ‘didn’t like it’ and proceeded to ask if they could ‘advance that part’.
Ryan Gosling’s two daughters with longtime partner Eva Mendes are unimpressed by their parents’ movie star status.
While promoting his new film The Fall Guy, the Oscar nominee, 43, confessed to PEOPLE: “They don’t care.”
Gosling, 43, also felt the veto power of Esmeralda and Amada during the filming of his latest film, The Fall Guy, which has just been released in the United States on May 3 and also stars Emily Blunt.
The action comedy directed by David Leitch, working from a script by Drew Pearce, is loosely based on the 1980s stunt television series.
Definitely not something on his girls’ radar, Gosling had in mind that he was going to do as many stunts as possible since he plays Colt Seavers, a seasoned stuntman.
And considering the story is about a stuntman, the role actually included many potentially dangerous high-flying stunts that he had to do or pass along to the film’s real-life stuntmen.
It turns out that the London, Ontario, Canada native doesn’t just rule out his kids when it comes to choosing his next roles and the scenes that come with the job.
“My kids didn’t want me to be set on fire,” he said of The Fall Guy, of which the star is also a producer. “They said, ‘No. There’s no fire.’ So I didn’t do it.’
Blunt, 41, who plays Colt’s ex-girlfriend Jody Moreno on The Fall Guy, weighed in on the issue, saying she discovered that her kids “don’t want you to be anything other than their parents.”

Her daughters Hazel, nine, and Violet, seven, who she shares with actor and director John Krasinski, have reacted similarly to Gosling’s girls.
“They’ve only seen Jungle Cruise once because they don’t love seeing me on screen, which I understand because I’m their mom and it’s very strange to see me play someone else,” she explained of the 2021 fantasy adventure film in which she starred. alongside Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson.
In fact, Blunt made it a point to share how her girls find certain dramatic scenes very distressing to watch.
“They didn’t like the underwater footage where I’m trapped and in danger,” the Oscar-nominated actress said of Jungle Cruise. “They left the room.”
In a recent interview with WSJGosling revealed that he avoids “roles that will put me in some kind of dark place” to help keep the peace in his home with Mendes, 50, and his daughters.
“We make (decisions) first with our family in mind,” the former Disney Channel child star said of the process of choosing her next project.

In addition to Gosling and Blunt, the cast also includes Aaron Taylor-Johnson, Winston Duke, Hannah Waddingham, Teresa Palmer and Stephanie Hsu.
