Ryan Gosling had had a thorn in his side since 2016: on the official La La Land poster, his hand appeared drooping, almost limp, right next to Emma Stone’s, pointing perfectly toward the sky. According to reports, the actor mentioned it again and again, criticized himself in interviews, and at Lionsgate they would only reply “we’ll get to it later”.
Later arrived for the film’s tenth anniversary. As part of the promotion to bring it back to theaters, someone finally decided to use Photoshop and straighten that rebellious hand that tormented the Canadian heartthrob for an entire decade.
Now the composition is balanced, both arms point toward Los Angeles’ starry sky, and Gosling can sleep peacefully. Meanwhile, we still can’t believe that 10 years have already passed since those Oscars where Andrew Garfield looked at Emma Stone with his heart shattered.
