of the high

fall

s and Troy, as you know, grew up watching his dad take these

fall

s and I think the last fall his father took was in that bag, yeah, and then the bag was sold to someone in South Africa and they tracked it down, he brought it back from turn and Troy was able to fall into that bag and when he was done he signed it next to his dad's name and he called his mom and he just didn't have a dry eye and his dad was dad was at the bottom when he hit the bag it's really like If the community was very small and very united and so on, everyone.

You know everyone and so we really wanted to lean back into the nostalgia of all of these, you know these great artists from the past and everyone got involved. Ben and Logan. uh a couple of questions for you guys so Ben how does someone prepare to get hit? a car going 25 miles per hour and Logan, what's more intimidating and congratulations again on your Guinness Book of World Records, but what's more intimidating is rolling a car 8.5 times or jumping a car across Of rough terrain 25ft oh 22 225t, both are both. uh, equally intimidating and they, they, not that they don't scare me, they're definitely scary, that's the part that keeps you safe is choosing one, what would you choose?

I think I think the jump because the cannon roll that's going to be a disaster, you know it's going to be a disaster, so you prepare for it and you prepare, it's going to be a disaster like there's no other way to do it, but the jump, jump is something you have to have. to let you know that there are all these other possibilities that could happen and to make one a little more scary because of those other things that could happen, you know, if you didn't make it or whatever, you know to make one more intimidating and the other hits your body more, but the jump is definitely a little scarier and took a little longer to figure out and figure out exactly how to do it safely.

Ben, me, was the first. I also hit a car once and uh, that's one of those

stunts

that you know is going to suck, um, you know it's going to hurt, um and it's pretty funny, I don't know if you remember, but I, um, I I asked: Do you have any advice on taking H in a car for the first time? Because I know you've done it before. It's a strange experience. Ask the director. Hey, advice on what did I do? Say I can't remember you were right on top of the hood, put your hips on top of the hood, go light um and you know you were like you were, you're very aware of your spatial awareness is great so um, but I asked you, I thought: Where do you want it to land?

In a perfect world, where do you want it to roll. You drew a little line on the ground and I saw that line when I was coming down, that's my line and I thought that was cool, well I'll just say this like there's not many that you normally can't, it's like I put a mark on the ground, Like no one ever hits a mark after a car accident, but you are a very talented artist. like you're one of those special specialists that can do it and um, I had no doubt that I'll put a mark there, you'll probably find it.

I don't know how I, as an actor, could ever have done it. I found it. I usually just climbed on the hood, let the car carry me, protect my neck, and that was it. There is a lot of fantastic romance in this movie and I loved it and ran. I go there. You are the undisputed king of history. laor love Lorn look at the look at the end of at the end of La La Land Seb at that piano that look at Emma the look at her in the truck that abandoned Ryan Gosling is the special that I like this question terrifies me I wanted to know for the applicants to actors like, what is this?

They're talking about getting hit by a car doing these 125 ot jumps and Ryan, what it's like to give love. Lord, look, but you do it better than anyone. Thanks, so what? are which are which are What are the tips for giving the greatest cinematic love? Ln looks, walk us through it, feel free to demonstrate the camera like, uh, confusion. Okay, and like you're looking for your glasses, it's like you're looking for your glasses, turn it. in you're confused and you're like looking for your glasses that's not that oh can't you see you're looking for Emily you did it too great you want to show when did I do it?

If you looked back at him it was like you didn't want to let him know but I love him but I still love him but I'm not going to let him know no I think it was like your glasses were there mine was pretty clear you know who the biggest Swifty Colt is or Ryan Gosling oh well is it Ryan goling oh my god yes you're a Swifty Big Time that's not his favorite song all summer? I don't know, I say it very well. right now you have a very soft spot in my heart stuck in your head mhm what about you emily?

I'd say Cruel Summer is pretty good for me, but seriously, this is one of my favorite scenes from the movie when it was and I know it. This was kind of like when you were rehearsing you had a hat and then you said make it just for the day of filming and when you pressed the button I said that's love, what happens when you make your own button? That's even better, no. but yours you say no but mine is defiant mine is defiant and yours is sweet and tender but if you can talk a little bit about creating that chemistry between the two of you because you both have done some epic movies with other co-stars but Just as you created that dynamic between the two of you, that was good.

Emily's real nickname is Chemistry, she simply creates chemistry wherever she wants her to go. I feel like you could have chemistry with a doorknob, although I feel like you can do it. I've met some, yes, I loved that. I like anyone. I have nothing more to add. It's just delicious. It was so easy, effortless. You know, I think sometimes you can fake it, but it's a lot easier when you know. It's a lot of fun after this movie and we've been talking about

stunts

that need a place at the Oscars, so if any of you have anything to say about giving that a thumbs up or what you think about it, how about it really? uh leaning on the academy at the Academy Awards this year, we really appreciate it, guys, come on, you know it's hard to separate film history from action history, they're mutual, they're just, they're. they're intertwined, I think the first successful movie was The Great Train Robbery and it's action and stunts and it's what made people fall in love with cinema and then Buster Keaton Harold Lloyd chaplain they're all stuntmen all stuntmen all action is uh some of Our most iconic moments in film or action history are performed by specialists.

It's really hard to separate the success of film as an art form from what stunners and action artists have. Yeah, I've contributed to it, so it just seems like it's time to flip the script, flip the script, no more in the shadows, no one risks more than them, yeah, you know, no one risks more than them and they do it selflessly, with so much humility, with joy and with specialists. of some of my favorite people on a team and it's crazy that that category has been living in the shadows because we celebrate all the other categories, it's not about Mystique or keeping Mystique, we just have to convey what they do and the love and the soul that is in them.

You know, there's this weird secrecy around him, like he starts off on a kids' action TV show and I've had a stunt double my whole life and there's always a moment where they come in, do the hard things, risk everything and then they leave and then there's an understanding that more than any other department, everyone else gets credit, but there's some kind of unspoken thing where you pretend they weren't there, they didn't do it and it's very strange and it's cool. being part of something that is like just not doing that anymore that wants to refocus attention on them and highlight how much they contribute and that is an artistic point.

I agree, but never sell your love. In short, because That is an art and a skill in itself. Thank you very much to all. Can we finish with the thumbs up while I remind everyone that tickets are now on sale for Fall Guy on Fandango? It's an epic movie. You have to see it. your tickets tickets get tickets let's go
