Ryan Gosling and Mikey Day aren’t done playing Beavis and Butt-Head yet — the pair appeared as the characters at the premiere of Gosling’s latest film.Gosling, who stars in “The Fall Guy” opposite Emily Blunt, walked the carpet twice Tuesday during the Los Angeles premiere. He looked dapper for his first appearance in a mint green suit and shirt, but donned a blonde pompadour wig and “Death Rock” T-shirt for a second appearance as Beavis with Day’s buck-toothed Butt-Head.The animated characters, known for their stupid antics, ridiculous laughs and crass jokes, were a mainstay in the 1990s on MTV.Gosling and Day debuted their live-action take on the animated characters on “Saturday Night Live” last month, causing cast member Heidi Gardner and several other performers to break into laughter during the sketch.
‘SNL’ Host Ryan Gosling Keeps Breaking Character & Cast Members Follow
14.04.2024 - 06:23 / deadline.com
Known for breaking character and cracking up Saturday Night Live cast members in his previous two hosting stints on the NBC sketch program, Ryan Gosling stayed true to himself, laughing in every skit he was in, much to the delight of the audience, and challenging his co-stars to keep a straight face, even a season vet like Kenan Thompson.
The tone was set in the Cold Open, reuniting Gosling and Kate McKinnon for a third Close Encounters skit, in which host Gosling could not stop laughing as McKinnon was demonstrating how aliens observed Gosling character’s private parts close and personal during their alleged abduction.
The streak continued in The Engagement skit, in which Gosling played a newly engaged man having serious second thoughts about his decision to propose.
Then came Can’t Tonight, in which Gosling and Marcello Hernández were trying to convince their friend (Thompson) to go out with them.
Then all hell broke loose in the skit Beavis and Butt-Head where Heidi Gardner completely lost it as News Nation host doing a town hall on AI with MIT Professor (Thompson) who kept getting distracted by audience members who bore a striking resemblance to Beavis and Butt-Head. In Gosling’s defense, while he did break character as a Beavis lookalike and cracked her up, it was Mikey Day’s uncanny portrayal of Butt-head that pushed the seasoned SNL player over the edge.
Just like he hid under the visor of his baseball hat while giggling in the Cold Open, Gosling used the unusually long bangs of his character to do so in a the Doctor skit where he played an associate of Dr. Please, played by Bowen Yang, who tried hard to stay in character until eventually cracking up too.
For his final skit of the night, Gosling and Fineman
