During the red carpet for The Fall Guy, Leitch talked about “showmances” and “locationships” that occur while filming a movie.
“People are on location and… you’re in this really intense creative bubble, and people fall in love, and they have these romances,” he said while pointing to his partner Kelly McCormick. “It’s not based on anyone in particular, but it is a common thing.”

In The Fall Guy, Blunt is Gosling’s romantic interest, and the actor called her the “best partner” in creating the film. Although the director said the film was not based on anyone in particular, Gosling acknowledged that Leitch and McCormick’s “love story was our North Star throughout this film.”
