On the internet, there\u2019s a lot of talk about Project Hail Mary\u2019s great reviews<\/a>, its box office wins,<\/a> and the behind-the-scenes facts that make it a technical achievement. However, there\u2019s also a whole lot of chatter about smaller and sillier topics surrounding this book-to-screen adaptation<\/a> of Andy Weir\u2019s novel, like Ryan Gosling\u2019s glasses. To get even more specific, there\u2019s quite a bit of talk about the weird way he chose to wear his spectacles. However, upon further reflection, I realized that I do the same thing with my sunglasses\u2026which makes me think the actor is on to something.<\/p>\n

The People Of TikTok Are Popping Off About Ryan Gosling\u2019s Glasses In Project Hail Mary<\/p>\n

Now, generally, I\u2019d assume that the most common way to wear your glasses without them being on your nose is on top of your head. Like, if you need to take them off for a second, you scoot them up, and then they\u2019re out of the way. However, in Project Hail Mary, Ryland Grace pulls his glasses off one ear and lets them dangle off the other below his chin. Fans found this choice Gosling made quite funny, and it\u2019s caused an influx of TikToks that look like this:<\/p>\n

Well, last year we had slutty little glasses<\/a> thanks to Jonathan Bailey<\/a> and Jurassic World Rebirth, and I guess this year, Project Hail Mary has given us chaotic and askew glasses. Truly, this project on the 2026 movie schedule<\/a> and Gosling\u2019s glasses are entertaining many fans as they try to wear their glasses in unexpected ways. Here\u2019s another example:<\/p>\n

Then, on the podcast Miss Thing with Greg and Tim<\/a>, Greg Trimmer called out \u201cRyan Gosling\u2019s glasses acting.\u201d He claimed that \u201cno one who actually uses glasses to see would ever treat their glasses like that.\u201d And at first, I agreed. I thought the choice the actor made was odd.<\/p>\n

However, I took the weekend to think about Gosling\u2019s glasses while wearing my glasses, and I had a realization that parallels this TikTok:<\/p>\n

Yeah, I realized that I actually wear my glasses the same way Ryland Grace does on occasion\u2026so maybe Ryan Gosling really was on to something.<\/p>\n

I Realized I Wear My Glasses Like Ryan Gosling Sometimes<\/p>\n

Like many of the fans above, I too was a bit baffled and entertained by the La La Land star\u2019s choice to wear his glasses below his face and off one ear instead of on his head. However, then I was driving over the weekend and wearing a pair of wirey sunglasses, which aren\u2019t super dissimilar to Ryland\u2019s glasses in the movie, and I unconsciously moved them off my face the same way he does.<\/p>\n

My sunglasses were thin, flexible, and the nose pads were not plastic. They were the kind that are slightly disconnected, that get stuck in your hair if you move them to the top of your head. So, naturally, when I needed to remove my sunglasses for a second to look at my map, I moved them off one of my ears and let them dangle by my chin. Then, I easily put them back on once I saw what needed to be seen.<\/p>\n

It was convenient, especially for those glasses, and it made me realize that Ryan Gosling and Ryland Grace were not doing anything that odd. While this method is by no means common, it\u2019s maybe not as unusual as I had initially thought.<\/p>\n

So, now, the next time I see Project Hail Mary (which you can see in theaters now), I won\u2019t poke as much fun at the glasses and how they\u2019re worn. Instead, I\u2019ll take a moment to give credit where credit is due, because sometimes, off one ear and below the chin is the best place to put your glasses.<\/p>\n
