“The last time I saw you was the Golden Globes,” Ryan told Andrew. “Garfield was sitting beside me, and he goes, ‘Hey, if they call your name and you win, don’t kiss your wife [Blake Lively], just kiss me.”

“And of course, Gosling absolutely did not deserve it,” Ryan joked, adding, “I’m a genuine nutty fan of his.”

“I love that we were just sitting there and were just like, ‘Ah, let’s do it anyways,’” Ryan concluded.

For Andrew‘s part, he was “glad that you were game” for the kiss.

“I also retrospectively felt a little bit insensitive towards Ryan [Gosling]‘s moment,” he added, to which Ryan noted, “Nobody actually noticed until later and it was actually kind of perfect.”
