When Ryan Gosling<\/strong> needs an honest review, he doesn\u2019t wait for Rotten Tomatoes. He just heads home. As the Oscar nominee gears up for the release of his sci-fi epic ‘Project Hail Mary,’ the toughest critics in his orbit are far closer than Hollywood insiders.\u00a0<\/p>\n During an interview with Access Hollywood, Gosling revealed that his daughters,\u00a0Esmeralda, 11, and Amada, 9, whom he shares with longtime partner Eva Mendes,<\/strong> have screened \u201cmultiple cuts\u201d of the film.<\/p>\n Having his daughters\u2019 opinion is \u201calways better,\u201d Gosling shared, adding that the film was, in many ways, created with them in mind. <\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n \u201cMy kids have seen multiple cuts,\u201d Ryan said. \u201cThey give me multiple notes. They\u2019re basically the only critics I care about, and they are very critical and very honest.\u201d<\/p>\n For the actor, who began dating Mendes in 2011 after meeting on the set of ‘The Place Beyond the Pines,’ that feedback isn\u2019t just adorable, it\u2019s essential.\u00a0<\/p>\n More recently, the pair sparked quiet vow-renewal speculation after being spotted Christmas shopping in Montecito in 2025, shortly after Gosling wrapped filming ‘Star Wars: Starfighter’ in London.<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n Having his daughters\u2019 opinion is \u201calways better,\u201d he shared, adding that the film was, in many ways, created with them in mind. \u201cI made this for them essentially,\u201d he explained. \u201cAs a family, I\u2019d like a movie like this that I\u2019d like to see. I just feel really honored that I got to make one.\u201d<\/p>\n While promoting the film, Gosling recently delivered one of his most charming tributes yet to Mendes in a surprise, scripted \u201cFinal Jeopardy!\u201d round posted to YouTube. T<\/p>\n The clip, styled after the long-running quiz show Jeopardy! and hosted by Ken Jennings, featured Gosling fumbling theatrically with a sports injury clue referencing Red Sox pitcher Jim Lonborg.<\/p>\n Mendes stepped back from acting to focus on raising their daughters, though she frequently champions Gosling\u2019s achievements online.<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n One contestant correctly answered \u201cACL.\u201d Gosling, meanwhile, scribbled, \u201cWhat is IDK? I <\/p>\n Gosling, 45, simply reacted with a stunned, \u201cWow,\u201d hands perched atop his head as onscreen text urged viewers to \u201cBelieve in the Hail Mary.\u201d Mendes later shared the clip on Instagram, writing, \u201cLook Ma! I made it to @jeopardy. Believe in the Hail Mary @projecthailmary.<\/p>\n Mendes and Gosling, notoriously private, share a partnership that has unfolded largely out of the spotlight. Mendes stepped back from acting to focus on raising their daughters, though she frequently champions Gosling\u2019s achievements online.<\/p>\n Gosling revealed that his daughters, Esmeralda, 11, and Amada, 9, whom he shares with longtime partner Eva Mendes, have screened \u201cmultiple cuts\u201d of the film.<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n In April 2025, she celebrated his campaign to secure an Academy Award category honoring stunt performers. \u201cMy man is the F best! Unfortunately, success is almost only measured by the box office,\u201d she wrote.\u00a0<\/p>\n \u201cSo I\u2019m extra proud of my man for turning his entire Fall Guy press tour into a campaign to get stunts recognized by the Oscars. And now after almost 100 years of stunt design not being acknowledged by the Academy, it\u2019s officially a category!! This is a HUGE success! And an achievement that will last. Congratulations to the incredible stunt community!!\u201d<\/p>\n Ryan Gosling says his \u2018very critical\u2019 daughters Esmeralda and Amada give honest feedback on his movies<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n Their bond has long been reciprocal. During his 2017 Golden Globes acceptance speech for ‘La La Land,’ Gosling publicly thanked Mendes for holding down their home life while he filmed. \u201cIf she hadn\u2019t taken all that on so I could have this experience, it would surely be someone else up here other than me today so, sweetheart, thank you.\u201d<\/p>\n More recently, the pair sparked quiet vow-renewal speculation after being spotted Christmas shopping in Montecito in 2025, shortly after Gosling wrapped filming ‘Star Wars: Starfighter’ in London.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n \u2018 The preceding article may include information circulated by third parties \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n \u2018 Some details of this article were extracted from the following source www.hola.com \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" When Ryan Gosling needs an honest review, he doesn\u2019t wait for Rotten Tomatoes.
