Though we’re witnessing the fall of Ken, fans of actor Ryan Gosling will fall in love with him even more after watching The Fall Guy. 

This is Gosling’s first role after being known as Ken from Greta Gerwig’s Barbie movie. After the release, Gosling made the character his whole personality; he just couldn’t let the character go.

However, now Gosling is taking on new worlds in action movies. In The Fall Guy, Gosling plays Colt Seavers, a stuntman who suffers from a great fall during one of his stunts. He returns back to living his normal life as a valet man, until he becomes inspired and reignites his passion for danger. He pursues the love of his life, Jody Moreno, played by Emily Blunt. 

He goes to great lengths to get his job back and the girl of his dreams back, and he is motivated through the hardship, which is what made this movie so inspiring to me. The whole tagline of the movie is to fall down and get back up again, which is shown a lot throughout the movie. 

Gosling’s character never gives up, no matter what gets thrown his way. 

The main lesson here is to fight for what you believe in and what you love, even if you have to walk through fire (literally).
