Ryan Gosling × Men's Health

Not much needs saying about Ryan Gosling, except this: he treats every single person on set with the same respect, from grips and PAs to the stunt team. That energy sets the temperature for the whole day. A true gentleman.

We shot a video promo for The Fall Guy for Men’s Health, running alongside their Ryan Gosling cover story, so the stunt world came along for the ride. I’m a motorcycle guy, so watching pro stunt riders rip wheelies between locations on the Universal Studios backlot was a true gift. Trams full of tourists kept stopping across the lot, everyone wondering what the hell was going on. I rode that same tram as a kid. Now I was on the other side of the window, full circle moment.

Fire, bikes, burnouts and a movie star who’s all in. Somewhere in there you have to stop, look around, and remind yourself this counts as work. Grateful for this one.
