What do Ryan Gosling and Eva Mendes’ daughters feel about their fame?

While speaking to the British GQ, Ryan insinuated that his daughters were too young to watch most of his movies. He referenced his upcoming Netflix project with the Russo brothers and jokingly said:

“Yeah. I think they finally figured it out… that my name is actually ‘The Gray Man’ and I’m an assassin for the CIA.”

The actor also disclosed that Esmeralda and Amada had watched his 2018 Neil Armstrong biopic, The First Man, which led them to believe that their father worked on the moon. Ryan Gosling revealed that his daughters had watched their mother’s 1999 film, My Brother the Pig, amid the lockdown. He added,

“ I highly recommend it, by the way. Eva’s amazing in it.”

Ryan and Eva also seem to have homeschooled their daughters amid the pandemic. Gosling mentioned asking for help from his mother, who had homeschooled him for a year.
