Ryan Gosling reveals adorable tribute to wife Eva Mendes in upcoming film

They may never be seen together on the red carpet, but that doesn’t stop them showing the love in other ways

Ryan Gosling has revealed there’s an adorable tribute to his wife Eva Mendes in his upcoming film, and it really is COUPLE GOALS.

Ryan, 43, and his missus Eva, 50, may never be seen together on the red carpet, but that doesn’t stop them showing the love in other ways.

Just last weekend, the Barbie star’s Oscars performance of ‘I’m Just Ken’ featured a nice little nod to his wife as he held up his necklace to the camera and kissed it.

Real fans will know that it wasn’t just any piece of jewellery, but a Barbie-themed pink ‘E’ charm, which also made an appearance at the film’s premiere.

Eva, meanwhile, was at home with their kids, but took a moment to express her pride on Instagram.

“You took Ken all the way to the Oscars, RG,” she wrote, adding: “Now come home, we need to put the kids to bed.”

Her post was accompanied by a snap of her wearing Ryan’s hot pink studded blazer and black cowboy hat.

But they’re not done yet.

Speaking during a Q&A session at SXSW on Tuesday (12 March), Ryan said there’s a special something for Eva in his new film The Fall Guy.

In the post-screening discussion, the actor explained how his character’s dog is actually a tribute to his wife’s late pet.

In the 'hilarious, hard-driving, all-star apex-action thriller', he plays former stuntman Colt Seavers as he gets tangled up in a mysterious murder case that he must help solve - all while also winning back the love of his life and still turning up to his day job.

His four-legged sidekick is a dog who only understands commands in French - a detail that has a tie to Eva’s own pet.

“Eva used to have a dog named Hugo who was a Belgian Malinois who was an attack dog,” he told the crowd.

"He only spoke French."

Ryan added: “He’s passed now, so this is my homage to him.”

Director David Leitch - a real-life stuntman himself - also said there was another key reason to bring in a buddy for Colt Seavers.

“We wanted to bring this additional character into the mix... adding an animal on set is always great,” he said.

After having its world premiere at SXSW earlier this week, The Fall Guy hits cinemas on 3 May.
