I don\u2019t want you to be stranded, but the production value on this\u2026 Do you technically need a permit to shoot there? It\u2019s like you\u2019re doing a Western!\u201d<\/p>\n<\/p>\n The interviewer explained that before speaking with the La La Land star, he had been on a Grand Canyon bus tour \u2014 which unexpectedly broke down.<\/p>\n \u201cObviously, I would do anything not to miss an interview with you,\u201d Hamilton told the Oscar nominee.<\/p>\n Gosling paused several more times during the interview to check whether the journalist had enough supplies to last in the desert, which Hamilton confirmed he did.<\/p>\n \u201cYou sure? You\u2019re sure you have enough water for everyone? Because that could get ugly\u2026 I am worried about your hydration. You got a power bar?\u201d Gosling continued.<\/p>\n \u201cI definitely want to hear that you got out of this,\u201d the actor told Hamilton at the end of the interview.<\/p>\n The reporter later shared the interview clips on his Instagram alongside the caption, \u201cThat moment you have to interview Ryan Gosling\u2026but your tour bus broke down in the middle of the desert.\u201d<\/p>\n People were quick to turn to the comments afterward, commending both Hamilton for his commitment to still doing the interview and Gosling for his adamant concern for the journalist.<\/p>\n \u201cNo need to discuss the movie tbh, this is the best interview ever done. Ryan interviewing you about your tour bus breaking down is epic lol,\u201d one person wrote.<\/p>\n Another person agreed, \u201cI actually cannot get over this.
