Ryan Gosling accepted a Goldene Kamera Award in Germany yesterday. Only one problem, it wasn’t him.
What? According to The Hollywood Reporter back in January two German comedians, Joko Winterscheidt and Klaas Heufer-Umlauf, created a fake booking agency and booked the Oscar nominee on the show. The Kameras were so excited to have him be part of their big night, they agreed to several demands like he wouldn’t walk the red carpet, would be surrounded by security the whole time and his appearance would not be announced before he came out to accept the award.
Then it was time for the big moment. Out walked Ludwig Lehner, a Munich Chef who has a slight resemblance to the actor and he said, “Good evening, I am Ryan Gosling. I dedicate this prize to Joko and Klaas.” It was then that everyone in the audience including Jane Fonda, Nicole Kidman and Colin Farrell knew they were pranked. And they took it all in with shock and laughter. After the Oscargate, does anything surprise anymore at awards shows? Let’s hope so because that is what makes them memorable. It is the only reason why we still remember Moonlight beat out La La Land for Best Picture
When it comes Lehner, do you think he looks like The Notebook heartthrob? I think he looked more like Nicolas Cage with the huge side split than the hot actor. Still it is quite incredible that they were able to pull it off. My Alpine Bavarian Hat is off to them.
