Gosling was joined at the premiere by fellow Canadian and “Barbie” star Simu Liu.
While posing for photographers, they joked about how polite the Canadian press photographers were being.
“It’s almost too polite,” Liu said, garnering laughs while wishing things would be “more chaotic.”
Gosling added, “It’s like we’ve done something wrong. Are we in trouble? Is this an intervention?”
Both actors are playing the role of the iconic Ken doll in the new comedy, from director Greta Gerwig.
