It wouldn’t.”

But as Gosling realized his co-star never needed him at all, it led to a mock confrontation, with Gosling dramatically storming off the set while repeatedly saying “Bye! Bye! 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
