Emma Stone and Ryan Gosling starred in the musical drama La La Land (2016), and with the time they spent together on the set, the actress discovered something about The Notebook actor. He is obsessed with a particular kind of sweet, which he likes giving everyone a piece.
This was the third time Stone and Gosling collaborated on a movie, and it is no wonder why they know so much about each other. Aside from the Oscar-winning film, they previously shared the screen in Crazy Stupid Love (2011) and Gangster Squad (2013).
How Ryan Gosling Stays Fit Despite Emma Stone’s Revelation Of His Favorite Candy
In a video interview with Vanity Fair, Cruella star Emma Stone revealed something that people do not usually know about her La La Land co-star:
“Ryan can eat more Twizzlers than anyone you’ve ever met. Yeah, the traditional, like, the Twizzler, and he would keep it in his coat pocket, and just, you know, hand out Twizzlers and eat Twizzlers himself. That was his move on La La Land.”
With Ryan Gosling’s obsession with Twizzlers, a strawberry-flavored chewy snack that contains 120 calories and 16 grams of sugar for three pieces, it would definitely give him weight gain that is impossible to lose, not to mention achieve six-packed abs, unless he rigorously train at the gym.
When gearing up for movie roles, the actor makes sure he practices a balanced diet that consists of fish, vegetables, whole grains, natural foods, and proteins. In his preparation for the much-anticipated role as Ken in Greta Gerwig’s Barbie, Gosling maintained this diet, though he did not starve his cravings for Twizzlers. With that in mind, there is another thing that keeps him in tip-top shape.
As per Man of Many, Gosling practices intermittent fasting, a method where a person doesn’t consume anything for a specific amount of time and only eats meals during the remaining window. It was reported that the star followed the 16:8 routine, where he fasts for 16 hours and eats four separate meals within the 8-hour period.
For his workout regimen, Gosling’s exact training is undisclosed, but the actor keeps a very active lifestyle and combines several fitness routines into his daily life. It includes Muay Thai, ballet, gymnastics, squats, pull-ups, Pilates, and core-based workouts.
Emma Stone And Ryan Gosling’s Unparalleled Chemistry On And Off-Screen
Emma Stone and Ryan Gosling’s movie chemistry also translates well in real life. Since their collaboration in the 2011 romantic comedy film Crazy Stupid Love, they have become best friends. Stone revealed during the film’s junket (via ET Online):
“He’s so genuinely funny and such a good… I keep calling him teammate, but he is! He’s a good teammate. He’s really fun to act with and hang out with. He’s just… I dunno. He’s the best!”
Gosling echoed the same positive sentiments toward his co-star:
“Emma Stone is just, like, constantly opening Christmas presents. There’s nobody like her. As soon as she signed on to the film, I knew it was going to be good.”
The pair have been inseparable ever since, and they have maintained a good friendship through the years. Although they do not have any upcoming projects together, Stone and Gosling confirmed that they would most likely jump at the opportunity to collaborate again.
