Chris Evans Was INTIMIDATED To Work w/ Ryan Gosling On 'The Gray Man'

you two have teamed up quite a few times at this point this isn't your first rodeo together i'm curious to know if you take it back to the first time what were the first impressions what'd you think of each other what were the first impressions well the first time was in knives out and i was i was intimidated i was a little nervous you know okay this this intimidating face is so kind come on well i said at first yeah no i mean lifestyle was a good way to break the ice because we have so much meat yeah in that movie there's a lot to do i i can't i mean it's she had a tall order in that movie there's a lot of big people in that movie she was the leader of the movie though that was that wasn't easy um but but right away i knew that you know ryan had found something really special and that she was going to be uh an invaluable anchor i mean she really was the anchor of that film wasn't she yeah absolutely you were a standout he was the bad guy and you were the bad guy speaking of bad guys and the mustache i mean what was the key to leaning into it was it the white pants was it the very tight impossibly tight sweater if you wear white pants you know that nothing's gonna happen to you you know i mean i don't even wear white pants yeah it's asking for trouble yeah it's the the the wardrobe the look the haircut that's all fun stuff uh you know what it really is about a guy who is unapologetically himself he moves to the world without the concern of how other people see him and i think that's that's a trait that i think we all can identify with yeah and then kind of connect to absolutely lloyd is lloyd is lloyd bingo and that's that and we love to see it uh anna you were so impressive in this film the fight sequences i mean you all were uh but it was really great to see you kicking butt and save and ryan over and over again yeah how much fun was that for you and also how challenging was it what was the key to nailing the fight sequences hard work there's no other way around it when you're playing an action movie and you're like playing someone who's who's had that much training and experience you there's no other way than you actually get go through it and it was a lot of training hours and weekends and day after day after day and getting familiar with with everything i had to do and rehearsals and all of that and it was great it was such a refreshing character to play i was i loved that i was in ryan's love interest there was nothing in there the focus was not in that relationship there was there was a they took their time to build that trust that everything was about the mission and this woman trying to fix everything that wasn't supposed to happen and do the right thing right um so it was a lot of fun i'm still mad he tossed you a gun that wasn't loaded they're not trying to be funny it's the most straightforward delivery of both of their lines they're hilarious because it's just so honest exactly it was just so true i absolutely loved it going toe to toe with ryan how was that for you chris i mean he seems like a fun guy to pair up with yeah yeah it's a little intimidating you know it's it's ryan gosling he's a president i mean chris evans i'm sure he wow listen i'm sure you've met him i mean he's he's a very uh very centered person i think that's that's what's that's the origin of why he's such a good actor that that i think uh you know he himself is very much um unbothered you know and and that's that's uh it's it's it's it's the qualities you look for in a leader mm-hmm and being the lead of the movie you almost kind of lean on that so in those moments and combined with my history with the russos you know you just kind of say hey listen i got great people around me i'm just gonna let them shine and yeah try and not make a mess well you didn't make a mess well one that we didn't want to watch it was a good mess we enjoyed it chris anna thank you so much and congratulations on the film [Music] you
