Fresh from the high-profile success of “Barbie,” Ryan Gosling used the Los Angeles premiere of his next movie “The Fall Guy” to cede the spotlight to Hollywood’s unsung heroes — stunt performers.
Loosely based on the 1980s TV series of the same name, “The Fall Guy” stars Gosling as a veteran stunt double who must recover from a severe on-set injury to save an old flame (Emily Blunt) from a mysterious real-world threat.
The movie’s release comes as pressure is mounting in Hollywood for stunt performers to receive more recognition, including an Oscar category of their own.
