After a four-year break, Ryan Gosling is returning to screens in “The Gray Man,” a Netflix thriller opening in theaters Friday and streaming July 22.
Directed by Joe and Anthony Russo, the action-packed film stars Gosling as Sierra Six, a CIA black ops spy who is forced to flee after uncovering secret secrets about the agency. .
Unlike the gentle James Bond, the Sierra Six is practical, and that extends to her wardrobe, which is designed to blend in, or “go gray.”
“There have been so many great detectives, and I think it was challenging but exciting and trying to create a different one,” Gosling said of Tag Heuer’s integration into the film during an interview at a Watch dinner in LA Tuesday night. Marking said. “He’s more of a blue collar Bond. He’s a working-class guy. He’s not subject to any romantic ideas of what it’s like to be a spy, you know? He’s like an analog hero in the digital world. He has He doesn’t have technology, he doesn’t have gadgets, he has ingenuity and a sense of humour.”
The Six’s clothing is not a Seville Row suit, but rather a gathering of men along the way.
“The character is just getting clothes on as he moves through his day, he’s not thinking about what to wear. So I tried to choose clothes for the movie to do that,” Tag Heuer ambassador Gosling Said, who also pulled out a jumpsuit from his stunt coordinator’s Orange County martial arts school to wear in the film.
“My character is just a simple guy, he wants to be a plumber or watch Netflix at home. He doesn’t even want to be in the spotlight… He’s sucked into it. He’s out of jail and it’s his.” He can die in prison or die as a spy. He chooses it because it’s a way to live a little before he dies. So whatever he’s wearing in the movie, his style, that’s all Something that you know, outside of his watch, is something he hasn’t really chosen, it’s chosen for him,” the actor further explained how he first came to appreciate the transformative power of clothing.
“Maybe the reason I’m in this business is because my uncle came home one day and decided he was going to be an Elvis impersonator. And it started with him flashing this eagle on the back of a white jumpsuit. And I’m from a paper mill town where my dad worked in a paper mill and my family worked in a paper mill. And a white jumpsuit with a dazzling eagle was a sight to behold. But it was transformative, and it made him It kind of changed, you know, it empowered him to have this character.”
Gosling said the film was his most physically demanding film of all time, adding that it helped shape him for his next role as Kane in “Barbie” alongside Margot Robbie. He was still sporting his bleached locks at dinner, and the 39mm steel Carrera Three Hands watch he wears throughout the film in Tag Heuer commercials.
“It was the perfect watch for this character because [spies] Live and die every moment. Its all about accuracy. I think that’s why watches are so heavy in detective movies in general and this character in particular who got out of prison has already lost so much time. And he takes this job as a detective to get a little more time to live his life… so time is ticking by.
