Yes. It’s actually a program that James Cameron has come up with, it’s called Ab-atar. And you just put on this jumpsuit and there’s like six ping pong balls and then when you do scenes you suddenly magically have muscles.
The interviewer continued to pry about the subject matter, even asking the actor if he would show off his abs during the interview. Gosling, however, kept up with his deadpan humor, saying,“I would never lie to you… I don’t have any ab muscles.”
