NICOLA Coughlan has said she was left speechless working with “shirtless” Ryan Gosling on the Barbie movie.
And the Galway native was left starstruck when the Hollywood A-lister gave her a congratulatory kiss on the cheek at the film’s premiere.
Nicola told how on her first day of the movie set, she met a “shirtless” Gosling.
She said: “To be on that set, with all of those people. The day I went for a costume fitting Ryan Gosling was there shirtless.
“I met him at the premiere. I was too intimidated that day (on set) to speak to him.

“At the premiere he shook my hand, gave me a kiss on the cheek, went ‘you’re great in the movie’. I thought, ‘you don’t need to do this, you’re Ryan Gosling, you don’t need to talk to me’.
“We were all lined up backstage, it felt like school assembly.
Everyone was talking. ‘Will Ferrell, stand there’’ What am I doing here?!’” Nicola, who starred in Derry Girls and Bridgerton, explained to presenters Cat Deeley and Ben Shephard on ITV’s This Morning that she was thrilled to get the role of ‘Barbie Diplomat’. She explained: “Insane. I love Gretta Gerwig (Barbie director) so much. I loved her since Frances Ha. Everything she does is magic. “I auditioned for it (Barbie) and it was filming, it was going to cut into Bridgerton filming. “So they were ‘we don’t think you can do anything on this movie, but would you like to do a tiny bit?’. ‘Yes, that’s crazy, you don’t even need to ask!’
“It’s (got) such an incredible producer Margot (Robie) is as well. She is an amazing actor obviously, but then she’s so smart.
“It was her production company, Lucky Chap, they brought it to Mattel (the company which makes the dolls) and it was amazing.”
And she said she is up for doing Barbie 2 if it happens.
She explained: “I wrote Gretta an email and was going ‘if you want me to make the tea on the set, of course I will be there’. If she ever asks me to do anything I will be there in a heartbeat.”
While filming her new show Big Mood, Nicola told her Instagram fans she was less than impressed when she was made to hold a live rat that left her “terrified”.
Howevver, the actress added: “To be fair the rat was really nice. He was called Ronan. He was a good dude.”
