Ryan Gosling Spills The Tea On Harrison Ford'S Wild Antics: 'He'S Not Like Us'

Ryan and Harrison: A Friendship with Punch

Ryan Gosling and Harrison Ford – two Hollywood heavyweights – have formed a friendship that's as entertaining as their films. Recently, Gosling opened up on the New Heights podcast, hosted by NFL stars Jason and Travis Kelce, where he shared some eye-opening tales from their time working together on Blade Runner 2049.

In a candid chat, Gosling revealed an unforgettable moment that showcased Ford's outlandish side. It all started on set when Ford accidentally punched Gosling in the face during a scene. Rather than apologize in a typical manner, Ford took the ice meant for Gosling's bruising, plunged his own fist into it, and quipped, "I forgive you." And when it came to pain relief, Ford took things to another level. "I went to take two Advil and he took the whole thing, and he housed like 15 of them," Gosling recalled, adding with admiration, "He's not like us – he could just house half a bottle of Advil as a joke."

“Never meet your heroes unless they’re Harrison Ford.”

Stunts, Staples, and Scar Stories

But the wild antics didn't stop there. Gosling regaled the Kelce brothers with another legendary Ford adventure, this time from the set of Raiders of the Lost Ark. The story goes that during a horse-riding scene, Ford's iconic Indiana Jones hat wouldn't stay put. "They were trying to tape it and he said, 'Forget it. Give me a stapler.' And he stapled it to his head," Gosling shared, echoing a story Ford himself confirmed to GQ, complete with a souvenir scar.

When asked by Jason Kelce if Ford's reputation as a "lunatic" was well-known, Gosling doubled down on his point, emphasizing, "He's not like us. He's that guy." Clearly, in the world of Hollywood legends, Harrison Ford stands in a league of his own, and Ryan Gosling wouldn't have it any other way.

The Bond Beyond the Screen

The camaraderie between the two actors extends beyond these tales. Gosling, who stars in Project Hail Mary and the mega-hit Barbie, admires Ford's unparalleled coolness. "I always say, like, 'Never meet your heroes unless they’re Harrison Ford,'" he remarked.

Their offbeat friendship, filled with humor and admiration, captures why Ford remains a beloved figure in Hollywood – a true original who never fails to surprise.
