10 Movie Auditions You Would Not Believe

10. Ryan Gosling Was Once Cut Off By A Casting Director's Phone

In a hilarious, life imitating art moment, Ryan Gosling found himself cruelly disrupted by a Casting Director mid-way through an undisclosed audition. The story goes that Gosling was completely pouring his heart and soul into his work and had put on a convincing show of the part in question but when the call came, this Casting Director couldn't wait for his brilliance to finish.

A couple of years later Emma Stone's character in Damien Chazelle's La La Land had to work her way through an audition with the same sequence of events taking place on screen. You get the feeling Gosling could have had an input in the scene in question as the two stories match up too closely to be a coincidence.

The joke looks to be on said Casting Director as that rude interruption of Gosling may have cost them the scoop of discovering one of the finest actors of his generation.
