Ryan Gosling, the actor behind Project Hail Mary and The Big Short, has recalled an offhanded remark by Steve Carell that triggered him into existential crisis on the set of The Big Sh. Gosling's character in the film was a banker embroiled in the 2000s housing bubble and he wanted to transform his hair from dirty blonde to brunette for the role. However, when he stepped out in his wig and costume, Carell was the first person to warn him never to do this again. The incident occurred during a talk about his new movie, which focuses on a teacher who awakes from a 13-year coma.
