Only fitting therefore that his first action film has him playing a 'never give up' fun spy without notions of being a James Bond.
The desire to play something as compelling as the action heroes he loved lingered till he was offered the role of Court Gentry aka Sierra Six in Netflix's The Gray Man, the Hollywood star said.
"I really liked Six's spirit. He never gives up. He's constantly fighting. Even if he gets thrown out of a plane without a parachute, he still thinks there might be a way out and it's admirable and fun to play," Gosling told PTI in a virtual round table interview.
"Growing up, I loved characters like that because they helped me face my own obstacles in my life. I thought if these characters can do it, maybe I can do so. I really enjoyed playing him," the La La Land star added.
His latest film The Gray Man is directed by Avengers: Endgame duo Joe and Anthony Russo and is an adaptation of Mark Greaney's 2009 novel of the same name.
It revolves around CIA mercenary spy Sierra Six who accidentally uncovers dark agency secrets and becomes a primary target of his former colleague Lloyd Hansen and other international assassins.
The Gray Man has been penned by the Russo Brothers along with frequent collaborators Stephen McFeely and Christopher Markus.
