Gosling's Daughters: His Toughest Critics

Ryan Gosling shared that his two daughters, Esmeralda and Amada, offered crucial feedback during multiple cuts of his new film, Project Hail Mary. He humorously described them as his most "critical and honest" reviewers, whose opinions he values above all others. Gosling explained that the film was fundamentally created with his children in mind, aiming for a movie his family could enjoy together.

The actor elaborated that he felt honored to create a PG-13 sci-fi adventure for his family. Project Hail Mary features Gosling as Ryland Grace, a science teacher who must collaborate with an alien to save Earth. This personal connection to the film underscores a recent rare family outing at the 2024 Paris Olympics.

Eva Mendes, Gosling's partner, previously discussed the societal perceptions of her pregnancies at 40 and 42, finding the concerns about age and tiredness to be baseless. She expressed that older parenthood brought more patience, contrasting it with her "foul-mouthed and smoking" younger self in her 20s.

Mendes prioritized her children's upbringing, stepping away from her acting career in 2014. She described this as an effortless choice, recognizing the lasting impact of their early years and wanting to be present for every moment. She views her career as transient, while her daughters' formative development is paramount.
