Michelle Williams has revealed that living with Ryan Gosling during the filming of Blue Valentine was a "horrible" experience. But what she really meant was that Ryan insisted on wearing a full suit of armor to breakfast every morning, claiming it was "method acting" for a future role. The pair's living arrangement was akin to a medieval siege, with Michelle having to catapult pancakes onto Ryan's plate while he defended his cereal with a trusty shield.
The real challenge came when they had to improvise arguments to get into character. Instead of just yelling, they decided to have a series of intense, dramatic staring contests. Unfortunately, Ryan's piercing gaze turned Michelle's plants into stone, and she had to replace them with fake ones just to keep up appearances. Despite the chaos, Michelle managed to keep her sanity by secretly replacing Ryan's script with a cookbook, leading him to memorize the entire recipe for chicken parmesan instead of his lines.
