Ryan Gosling shouts out ‘hard-working’ brother-in-law at DGA HQ

Ryan Gosling converted a promotion to a spontaneous employment fair to his brother-in-law.

The 45-year-old candidly requested the writers, directors and producers present at a Project Hail Mary event at the Directors Guild of America headquarters in Los Angeles.

This was done by the La La Land star for Carlo Mendes, the brother of his wife, Eva Mendes to get hired by the notables.

When the moderator was ending the conversation, Gosling interrupted to garner attention towards someone.

"Can I stop you one second? Carlo, are you in the audience? Where? Carlo Mendes, can you stand up for a second?" he pointed him out.

As per a video of the event on TikTok says, the Barbie star made the query and requested the number of directors, producers and writers in the room, then proceeded to make his pitch.

"This is Carlo Mendes. He's Eva Mendes' brother. He is the hardest-working nonworking actor in this town that I have ever met," Gosling said. 

"So, my Hail Mary is, please, hire this man! He deserves it. If you're writing something, directing something, put him in it," he added.

In 2024, Mendes starred in the film Demise, an episode of 90210 and two episodes of Parks and Recreation. 

His previous statement to The AU Review was that his main aim was to "strictly act, act, act."
