Donald Glover says Ryan Gosling almost made an appearance on 'Atlanta: 'He was a big fan'
- Donald Glover said that Ryan Gosling almost made a guest appearance on the FX series "Atlanta."
- Glover said Gosling would have joined the cast if not for a scheduling conflict.
Ryan Gosling almost made a guest appearance on Donald Glover's popular FX series, "Atlanta."
While attending the season three premiere on Thursday, the "This Is America" artist told People's Lanae Brody and Dan Heching that Gosling, 41, was a "big fan" of the series.
"He said he was a big fan, but he had something else, and it just didn't work out," Glover, 38, said. "I was so bummed because the part was so great for him!"
Glover added that he and Gosling even "talked on the phone" and "were going to do it," but a scheduling conflict got in the way.
Representatives for Glover and Gosling did not immediately respond to Insider's request for comment.
In February, Glover and the cast of "Atlanta" said they were racially profiled on their first night of filming season three in London. The cast completed filming the current season and season four earlier this year, according to People. Season four of the hit FX show marks the end of the series.
While speaking alongside co-writers Stefani Robinson and Stephen Glover — Donald's brother — Glover recalled the cast being approached by a group of intoxicated people outside of a closed bar near their home in London.
Glover said the group of people insinuated that all Black people carry "hammers," which is slang for guns.
"It was so insulting, but not insulting at the same time because it took us five minutes to fully understand," Robinson said. "He got to a point of like if the insinuation was lost on us, he got specific and he was like, 'You guys are Black, you've gone to jail and you do things like that.' Like he kept doubling down on it."
"Atlanta," which also stars LaKeith Stanfield, Zazie Beetz, and Brian Tyree Henry, returned after a four-year hiatus on Thursday.
