Canadian actor Ryan Gosling and Australia-raised star Russell Crowe wouldnt necessarily seem like two gentlemen with awholelot in common.

Im still not sure I completely understand.
But its not for a lack of trying on Russells part.
I played him a game, which he appreciated, says Crowe.
But Im not sure hes a sport-focused fellow.
I think he gets his enjoyment out of other of lifes pleasures, you know?
ThankGodwe managed to avoid talking about that, says Gosling.
I dont know a goddamned thing about hockey either!
At least Crowe didnt take a stab at explain the notoriously complex laws of another popular-in-Australia sport: cricket.
Right, yeah, laughs Gosling.
If theres a sequel, I think thats coming down the barrel for me.
Alotof cricket talk coming my way.
you might see the trailer forThe Nice Guysbelow.
