Although the film failed to make a big splash in its box office debut three weeks ago, Eva Mendes is praising her husband’s new film, The Fall Guy.
The 50-year-old actress shared a poster for The Fall Guy, which shows her 43-year-old husband kissing his co-star Emily Blunt.
‘Did you know?! @thefallguymovie is the FIRST non-superhero film to open the summer box office in 17 years!’ she said of The Fall Guy debuting the first weekend in May, which typically marks the start of the summer movie season.
“And maybe the movie didn’t break the box office, but it did break so many other records,” she added, referring to the film’s soft debut of $28.5 million at the box office.
‘I am extra proud of this. The proof is in my post: I don’t normally post pictures of my husband kissing a baby, but Emily Blunt is just so damn good at it,” she said.

The last slide of her post featured an image of Gosling as Hollywood stuntman Colt Seavers in the film.
The Fall Guy expected to make between $30 million and $40 million in its box office debut, but fell short with $28.5 million.
The post comes after her husband Gosling opened up about his shift away from darker roles.
The 43-year-old actor shares daughters Esmerelda, 9, and Amada, 8, with wife Eva Mendes, whom he has been with since 2011.
The actor is no stranger to playing troubled, dark characters, although he admitted as much in an interview with Wall Street Journal that his approach to new roles has changed since becoming a father.
“I don’t really play roles that put me in a dark position,” Gosling said in the interview.

“This moment is where I feel like reading the room at home and thinking about what’s best for all of us,” he continued.
“This moment is where I feel like reading the room at home and thinking about what will be best for all of us,” he continued.
“The decisions I make, I make together with Eva, and we make them with our family in mind first,” he emphasized.
After starting his career as a teenager on The Mickey Mouse Club, he took on much darker roles in his twenties and thirties.
He gained critical acclaim playing troubled characters in films such as Half Nelson, Blue Valentine, Drive, The Place Beyond the Pines and Only God Forgives.
Although it was his turn in the light-hearted 2016 musical La La Land, he realized that his films could also be fun for his children.
“I think La La Land was the first. It was kind of like, oh, this will be fun for them too, because even though they don’t come to the set, we practice piano every day or we dance or sing,” Gosling said.
