Ryan Gosling Surprises Fans At Universal Theme Park Stunt Show

UNIVERSAL CITY, CA — As part of the promotion of his upcoming film "The Fall Guy," Ryan Gosling surprised fans at Universal Studios Hollywood when he appeared in a live-action stunt show — mirroring the experience of the stuntman he plays in the new movie.

Gosling showed up at “The Fall Guy Stuntacular Pre-Show,” a limed-time stunt show being staged at Universal's theme park. The show, which takes place at the park's "WaterWorld" attraction, is meat to give guests a peek behind the curtain of how stunt performances are designed and brought to life.

Gosling is shown on video at the stunt performance, which includes trick-riding jet skiers and plenty of explosives.

Gosling was joined at the show on Saturday by "The Fall Guy" director David Leitch, who is a former stuntman himself.

The film stars Gosling as Colt Seavers, a former stuntman drafted back into service when the star of a mega-budget movie goes missing. Inspired by the 1980s TV series by the same name, "The Fall Guy" also stars Winston Duke ("Black Panther"), Aaron Taylor-Johnson ("Bullet Train"), Hannah Waddingham ("Ted Lasso") and Stephanie Hsu ("Everything Everywhere All at Once").

The "Stuntacular Pre-Show" is open at Universal through May 19. "The Fall Guy" opens in theaters May 3.
