As Crowe and Gosling joined Colbert on stage to discuss their upcoming comedy film,The Nice Guys, it became evident that something playful was afoot.

Colbert playfully challenged the notion that the two actors were primarily associated with drama, prompting them to prove him wrong.

Bye!” Colbert and Crowe continued their interview while Gosling intermittently interrupted, seeking their attention. Eventually, Crowe attempted to win back his co-star’s favor by firing a T-shirt cannon, resulting in Gosling’s return to the stage
