"Do you have help on the way? You look like Tom Cruise in Mission Impossible, the one where he's climbing. This is amazing. I don't want you to be stranded, but the production value on this... Do you technically need a permit to shoot there? It's like you're doing a Western!"
"You sure? You're sure you have enough water for everyone? Because that could get ugly... I am worried about your hydration. You got a power bar? I definitely want to hear that you got out of this."
During a press junket for Project Hail Mary, Ryan Gosling interviewed journalist Jake Hamilton via video link from the desert after Hamilton's Grand Canyon tour bus unexpectedly broke down. Rather than focusing solely on film promotion, Gosling repeatedly paused the interview to express concern for Hamilton's wellbeing, joking about the dramatic desert setting while asking multiple times if Hamilton had sufficient water, supplies, and power bars. Gosling humorously compared Hamilton's appearance to Tom Cruise in Mission Impossible and joked about needing permits to film in the location. Hamilton confirmed he had adequate supplies, and Gosling ended by expressing hope that Hamilton would safely escape the desert. The exchange demonstrated Gosling's genuine concern for the journalist's safety throughout the interview.
