Ryan Gosling is apparently haunted by a choice he made for an iconic scene in one of his best known films.
The actor is currently promoting his latest film The Fall Guy, has landed to rave reviews and already has an 85 percent critics' rating on Rotten Tomatoes.
And the press tour is the gift that keeps on giving.

Ryan opted to wear a t-shirt promoting his partner Eva Mendes' forthcoming book during one interview for the movie on This Morning (29 April).
The t-shirt read 'Desi, Mami, and the Never-Ending Worries by Eva Mendes'.
In a new interview with the Wall Street Journal, Ryan revisited a moment from his iconic career that he'd reshoot if he could.
Surprisingly, it relates to his role as Sebastian in 2016 smash-hit La La Land, which he starred in opposite Emma Stone, who played Mia.
The role led to him being nominated for Best Actor at the Oscars - with everyone thinking the film had won Best Picture too for a hot second, until organisers realised there had been a mix up.
But, aside from that viral moment, what on Earth could Ryan possibly regret?
It turns out that it's what Ryan terms as his 'La La Hand'.
Yes, you read that right.
It refers to the way his hand appears in the infamous dancing scene after Sebastian and Mia meet at a party.
He shared: "There’s a moment that haunts me where we’re dancing, Emma and I.
"We were supposed to have our hands up, and I thought it’d be cool to put my hand like that. Even though everyone told me it wasn’t cool, I was sure that [a flat hand] was cooler than [pointing upwards].
“Now when I look at it and I have to see it all the time, you know what would have been cooler than this? That." He then moved his hand from a flat to an upright stance.
He then referred to himself as 'Hamburger Hands Gosling'.
He also shared that he took the role of Sebastian in La La Land as he believed more light-hearted roles would be much more fun for his children.
He said: "I don’t really take roles that are going to put me in some kind of dark place.
"This moment is what I feel like trying to read the room at home and feel like what is going to be best for all of us. The decisions I make, I make them with Eva and we make them with our family in mind first."
He added: "It was just sort of like, 'Oh, this will be fun for them, too, because even though they’re not coming to set, we’re practicing piano every day or we’re dancing or we’re singing'."
The Fall Guy is now playing in cinemas.
