Everyone has their own embarrassing moments; even celebrities like Ryan Gosling are not spared from mortification. The Barbie actor revealed his most traumatic experience, and it involves licking another man. While that sounds a bit aggressive, it was actually not on purpose.
People usually go to massage salons to get some nice downtime, and amid Gosling’s hectic work schedule, it was a much-needed one. The actor got a special kind of massage, but it ended in the most horrible way.
Ryan Gosling Shares Gross Experience During A Turkish Massage
Appearing at The Graham Norton Show to promote his film The Nice Guys with co-star Russell Crowe, The Notebook star Ryan Gosling was forced to share a funny albeit embarrassing story about his should-have-been relaxing moment:
“I had an awful experience having a Turkish massage where this guy’s idea of massage was to take one leg and the other arm and try to connect it behind my back.”
Gosling tried to illustrate the uncomfortable situation to the best of his ability and went on to describe the grossest part of the experience:
“As he was doing this, his belly went in my mouth, and you know when you get something weird in your mouth, like if you’re eating something, your brain sends your tongue to figure out what it is? It’s like a conscious thought, it’s just like, ‘Is that bomb? Figure that out!’ My tongue was like, ‘What is that? It’s a hairy belly!’”
It was, indeed, a traumatic Turkish massage experience for the actor, and it is no wonder if he would no longer want to return to the salon.
Ryan Gosling Expected Royal-Like Treatment From A Turkish Bath
In an earlier interview, the La La Land star spoke at The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon and shared his full bath experience in New York City. He said a friend recommended it to him after moving to the area:
“Have you ever been to the Turkish bath? I had some fantasy about it, like being waved with palm leaves and being fed grapes. And it’s not that at all, it’s just some big, hairy Turkish guy who washes you with a bar of soap. And he was just washing me with this bar of soap, and I’m like, ‘Am I paying for this? This is terrible.’”
Not only was Gosling disappointed with the underwhelming massage, but also grossed out by the whole bath experience. Licking a hairy man’s belly is, for sure, never in the actor’s wildest dreams.
