Harrison Ford punched Ryan Gosling
During their appearance onThe Graham Norton Show, actorsHarrison FordandRyan Goslingrecalled the moment when Ford punched Gosling while filming 2017’sBlade Runner 2049. Ford had a simple explanation,
“Oh, I misread the script. No, we were doing a scene in flashing strobe lights, he’s walking backwards, I’m walking forwards, you have to make it look like the punch was intended… but I hit him. One out of 100 times I hit him.”Gosling then added,“I should be lucky I didn’t get hit more is the theme of this. It’s not just a punch though, a Harrison Ford punch is a different animal altogether.”

Ryan Gosling’s face was out of place
In another interview withGQ, Ford recalled that Gosling’s face was out of place after he punched him, explaining that he was supposed to be out of his range,
“Ryan Gosling’s face was where it should not have been. His job was to be out of the range of the punch. My job was also to make sure that I pulled the punch. But we were moving, and the camera was moving, so I had to be aware of the angle to the camera to make the punch look good. You know, I threw about a hundred punches in the shooting of it, and I only hit him once.”
As for Gosling, he stated that Ford is one “cool motherf**ker,” however, it seemed like he was not satisfied with Ford’s apology.
