Gosling also said Harrison was more worried about his own fist than Gosling’s face.
Ryan Gosling has recalled a story about the legendary actor Harrison Ford punching him during the filming of the upcoming Blade Runner sequel.
‘Blade Runner 2049’ is the follow-up to Ridley Scott’s classic 1982 Blade Runner and will be directed by Denis Villeneuve, with Ridley Scott taking a backseat as executive producer. No firm release date has been revealed yet.
Gosling joins the cast for the sequel, with Ford returning as Agent Rick Deckard. Speaking to GQ magazine, Gosling talked about shooting a fight scene with his fellow actor.

“It was kind of, you know, a rite of passage,” Gosling said. “We were just doing a fight scene and, you know, it just happened. But what was funny was, when it was over, they brought ice for my face, and Harrison pushed me out of the way and stuck his fist in the ice.”
“As soon as it happened, the director came up to me and said, ‘Look at it this way—you just got hit by Indiana Jones.'”
Gosling then added that Ford “came by afterward with this bottle of scotch, and I thought, ‘Oh, I knew this was coming. And he pulled out a glass from his pocket, poured me a glass, and walked away with the rest of the bottle. So I guess he felt like he didn’t connect enough to earn a whole bottle.”
“You know, they say don’t meet your heroes,” Gosling continued, “but I would say the addendum to that is ‘…unless they’re Harrison Ford.’ ‘Cause he’s a cool motherfucker.”
