#gosling gate

Okay, it’s 2017 and these two silly German TV guys, Joko and Klaas, decide they want to have a quite fancy German TV price.

Since they would never win it the normal way they came up with a plan. They would manage that Ryan Gosling, very famous that year for La La Land, win a price. Naturally they faked a PR company and with just a few calls managed to talk the price show into agreeing to give Ryan Gosling such a price they wanted.

Thing is, they don’t know Ryan Gosling.

So… they faked their own Ryan Gosling. They called up some random chef from Munich called Ludwig - who doesn’t even speak English - and kinda and a little looks like Ryan Gosling.

Together with a huge team and a ridiculous plan (like forbidding the TV show to mention that Ryan Gosling would show up) they managed to get Fake!Ryan into a fucking LIVE SHOW, where this rando Ludwig, who very obviously is NOT Ryan Gosling, walked onto the stage and managed to get the price.

And at the award show they had people like Nicole Kidman and the camera like cuts to her, looking confused af and everyone is so lost and you just know the poor translators were trying their hardest to explain to the actual celebrations what just happened.

Against all odds these silly TV guys and some dude named Ludwig managed to fake Ryan Gosling and win/steal a prestigious price.

Here are some pictures for your viewing pleasure:

And it is some of the funniest shit ever. It’s my favorite thing that ever happened.

It happened in 2017 and I regularly re-watch fucking GoslingGate. I get invested and excited everytime.

And, as a lovely little update and tie this all back to Barbie: dear Ludwig, chef from Munich, was at a premiere from Barbie as basically a stand in for Ryan Gosling.

And let me tell you, I screamed when I saw the pictures.

ich hab diesen Moment bei Sekunde 0:17 bis 0:20 schon so oft angesehen, ich bin komplett hypnotisiert. Wie süß Joko da zu Klaas hingeht, es sieht fast aus als würde er ihn küssen wollen. Und diese Umarmung 🥺 wie zwei perfekte Puzzlestücke passen die zusammen!

Meinst du das hier, Anon? Ach Quatsch, das sieht doch nicht aus, als wenn Joko fast Klaas küssen würde.

Überhaupt nicht. Wie kommst du denn darauf.

Mal ganz im Ernst, ich könnte mir diese Umarmung 220983x angucken und es wäre noch nicht genug. Wie Joko ihn ansieht und dann so an sich zieht. OH GOTT.

(Bin heillos überfordert damit, wie sogar Jokos Blick da auf Klaas' Lippen liegt.)

Kleiner Bonus: Ich vergöttere auch die Umarmung zwischen Joko, Schmitti und Klaas davor.
