Bonafide movie star Ryan Gosling is the “rizz king” to Steve Carell.
Speaking to IGV Presents on TikTok, Carell was asked which of his co-stars have “rizz.” He first named Paul Rudd and Will Ferrell, but ultimately landed on Gosling.
@igvpresents nothing to see here… just steve carell calling ryan gosling ‘the rizz king’ 😍😂 #stevecarell #ryangosling #ryangoslingedit #ryangoslingmeme #fyp #stevecarelledit #despicableme #despicableme4 #minions #genz #crazystupidlove @universalpicturesuk @Simon Harkness | Interviewer @Despicable Me ♬ original sound – IGV Presents
“Maybe the ‘rizz king,' and I always call him the ‘rizz king,' is Ryan Gosling,” Carell said, holding in his laugh. “Sometimes I just call him Rizz Gosling. He is the epitome of rizz.”
Obviously, this was all said in jest. But it was a funny moment of an actor being asked about rizz. Previously, Tom Hanks shot down the word, saying if you have to claim to have it, you don't have any.
The word “rizz” often refers to how much charisma a person has. It has become a popular slang term in recent years. How it became a staple of questions asked at press junkets remains unclear.
