Christina gushed,
“He’s everything you want him to be! He’s amazing, yeah. He’s very polite, he’s very lovely. My manager called and said, ‘Ryan Gosling wants to call you, is it ok if I give him your number? And I was like, “YES! Yes, of course it’s OK!’”
“So I think I was a bit excited and nervous when he called, and then he said he’d been writing this script and he’d imagined me in this lead role, and would I take a look at the script. And I said, ‘Send it on over.’”
