Ryan Gosling and Emily Blunt have revealed that their children are not impressed by their parents' fame and would rather they be just their mom and dad.
Ryan Gosling and Emily Blunt have opened up about their children's reactions to their fame, revealing that their kids just want them to be their mom and dad.
Gosling, who has two daughters, Esmeralda Amada, 9, and Amada Lee, 8, with Eva Mendes, said that his children "don't care" that their parents are Hollywood stars.
"There's nothing" that would make Esmeralda and Amada see them as anything other than their mom and dad, Gosling told People Magazine.
Blunt, who shares daughters Hazel, 9, and Violet, 7, with her husband John Krasinski, echoed Gosling's sentiments.
"They don't want you to be anything other than their parent," Blunt said.
Blunt explained that their children also don't like watching their parents' projects.
"They've only seen 'Jungle Cruise' once because they don't love watching me on screen," the "Oppenheimer" star said. "Which I understand because I'm their mommy and it's very strange to see me play someone else."
Gosling said that his daughters even forbade him from doing any stunts involving pyrotechnics in his new film, "The Fall Guy."
"My kids didn't want me to be set on fire," Gosling said. "They were like, ‘No. No fire.’ So I didn't do it."
Blunt added that her daughters were upset by some of her scenes in the 2021 fantasy adventure movie "Jungle Cruise."
"They didn't like the underwater stuff where I'm trapped and I'm in peril," she recalled. "They left the room."
Gosling said that his decision-making process, when it comes to taking roles, has changed since he became a parent.
"I don’t really take roles that are going to put me in some kind of dark place," he told The Wall Street Journal. "This moment is what I feel like trying to read the room at home and feel like what is going to be best for all of us. The decisions I make, I make them with Eva, and we make them with our family in mind first."
Gosling has also taken on more projects as a producer since his two daughters were born, which allows him to spend more time with his family.
Most recently, his family joined him in Sydney, Australia, while he filmed "The Fall Guy."
"I think La La Land was the first," he said about when he realized his kids could also enjoy the movie making process. "It was just sort of like, Oh, this will be fun for them, too, because even though they’re not coming to set, we’re practicing piano every day, or we’re dancing, or we’re singing."
Gosling said that once you have kids, "you start to be way more conscious of everything you do and everything you’ve ever done."
