Gosling’s children withEva Mendes, 44 —Amada Lee, 2, andEsmeralda Amada, 4 — got the wrong idea when they saw Gosling, 37,filming his new movieFirst ManasNeil Armstrong,the first personto walk on the moon.
“They came to set,” theBlade Runner 2049actor recalled on Wednesday’s episode ofJimmy Kimmel Live. “They came on this day where I was shooting a launch scene, so I was in the spacesuit and pretending to launch. I think they think I’m an astronaut now.”
Gosling added, “My oldest said the other day — she pointed to the moon — she was like, ‘That’s where you work, right?'”
Kimmel, adad himself, had some advice. “Always lie to your children,” he said. “That’s always the way to go.”
