"Williams and Gosling’s performances as a dysfunctional couple have gotten early Oscar buzz. When asked about working with Williams, who wasn’t able to attend the premiere, Gosling said “she’s the best.” He explained that it was because they were very good friends before making the movie that they were able to explore a deeper, darker chemistry on screen, allowing them to “go places that we otherwise couldn’t have” with the characters.
As we were talking, 6-year-old Faith Wladyka, Ryan and Michelle’s daughter in the film, came up to us. Gosling picked her up and held her on his hip while I asked her what her favourite part about shooting the film was. Gosling egged her on to “say Ryan.” Wladyka obliged. “He’s goofy,” she giggled.
A reporter beside me began asking Gosling about what his Mom thinks when he takes a woman home. “You’re going to ask an untoward question with a kid here?” said Gosling mockingly. After putting Wladyka down and ushering her away he continued to answer the questions."
