In “The fall guy” two supernovae meet, one exploding, the other more imploding. Stuntman Colt Seavers is played by Ryan Gosling, Hollywood’s darling hunk whose ability to deliver a wry smile holds up even though the guy’s bulging muscle veins appear to be on the verge of bursting
The inflated action star Tom Ryder is played by Aaron Taylor-Johnson, British girls’ dream idol who, after the breakthrough as John Lennon in “Nowhere boy”, went over to the USA and added a murderous psychotic southern dialect in “Nocturnal animals”. Not a bad career but the romantic hero roles seem to be light years away.
