Ryan Gosling revealed how his daughters with Eva Mendes influenced the sartorial decisions he made in his new movie Project Hail Mary.
He stars in the sci-fi caper as a middle school science teacher who joins forces with an extra-terrestrial on a space adventure to prevent the sun from burning out.
Gosling, who is also a producer on the movie, shared that he and Mendes ‘always want to find films that we can bring our kids to and have that core memory moment, but they’re hard to find. I felt like, OK, well, we might just have to make it.’
The Hollywood couple have been together since 2011 and have since welcomed two children into the world – Esmeralda, 11, and Amada, nine.
Now Gosling has shared that one of his daughters helped persuade him to wear spectacles in the movie, in an interview with USA Today.
‘When I was playing with the character, just trying stuff out, and I threw on some glasses, my daughter went: “You look smarter with glasses,”‘ he recalled.

‘And I was like: “Well, thank you very much. I think I will be wearing these in the film. Thank you for that note,”‘ said the Barbie star.
His children have ‘seen many cuts, and they’ve given many notes,’ Gosling explained, noting that Esmeralda and Amada are ‘the harshest critics, but they are always right, for the most part, and they’ve really been so helpful.’
The film was directed by Phil Lord and Christopher Miller, the duo behind The Lego Movie, Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs and Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse.
Based on a 2021 novel by Andy Weir, Project Hail Mary bowed in theaters last Friday and earned rave reviews to the tune of 94% on Rotten Tomatoes.
Gosling previously revealed that he made Project Hail Mary ‘for’ his daughters, in a recent interview with Access. ‘As a family, I’d like a movie like this that I’d like to see. I just feel really honored that I got to make one.’
He added: ‘My kids have seen multiple cuts. They give me multiple notes. They’re basically the only critics I care about, and they are very critical and very honest.’
Mendes and Gosling have proven a notable example of a long-lasting Hollywood union, and have kept their romance studiously out of the public eye.
Although Mendes has referred to Gosling publicly as her ‘husband,’ they have never even confirmed whether they have officially gotten married.

Gosling made a rare public display of his love for Mendes this month on her 52nd birthday, calling her onstage without warning on the Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon
Gosling made a rare public display of their love this month on her 52nd birthday, calling her onstage without warning on the Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon.
He left her astonished by singing Happy Birthday to You accompanied by a high school marching band, who held up a flag wishing her: ‘Happy Birthday, Eva!’
They met in 2011 while making the crime thriller The Place Beyond the Pines, which also featured Bradley Cooper and the late Ray Liotta.
Although they rarely make joint public appearances, Gosling famously paid a glowing tribute to Mendes onstage when he won a Golden Globe for La La Land in 2017.
‘I just would like to try and thank one person properly and say that, while I was singing and dancing and playing piano and having one of the best experiences I’ve ever had on a film, my lady was raising our daughter, pregnant with our second and trying to help her brother fight his battle with cancer,’ he said.
‘If she hadn’t have taken all that on so that I could have this experience, it would surely be someone else up here other than me today. So sweetheart, thank you.’
Gosling went on: ‘To my daughters, Amada and Esmeralda, I love you, and if I may, I’d like to dedicate this to the memory of her brother, Juan Carlos Mendes.’
