Ryan Gosling made a grand entrance at the Los Angeles premiere of his latest film, "The Fall Guy," accompanied by an unexpected companion. During the event on Tuesday, April 30, the 43-year-old actor was joined by Mikey Day, 44, as they revived their recent portrayal of Beavis and Butt-Head from a popular Saturday Night Live sketch aired on the April 13 episode.
Earlier that evening, Gosling posed for the customary photo session with his co-star Emily Blunt, dressed in a stylish monochromatic mint suit. However, he later returned to the red carpet in a prosthetic nose and blond wig to embody Beavis, clad in the character's iconic Death Rock t-shirt and shorts.
The SNL sketch featured Heidi Gardner as a news anchor interrogating a professor played by Kenan Thompson about the perils of artificial intelligence. However, Thompson's character struggled to maintain focus due to the distracting presence of two audience members, Jeff (portrayed by Day) and Dean (Gosling), resembling the '90s cartoon characters.
Throughout the sketch, Thompson, a seasoned SNL performer, repeatedly requested Jeff and Dean to vacate their seats behind Gardner.
Gardner admitted to Vulture that she found it challenging to stay in character when addressing Gosling. She recalled trying to mentally prepare herself but ultimately succumbing to laughter during the dress rehearsal.
Thompson, despite shocking audiences with his ability to remain composed, confessed to Variety that he frequently broke character during the dress rehearsal due to uncontrollable laughter. He described moments of sheer chaos and panic, fearing he would be unable to deliver his lines without breaking into tears.
The sketch, which garnered over 10 million views on YouTube within five days, showcased the comedic chemistry between Gosling and Day, leaving audiences and fellow cast members in stitches.
