Ryan Gosling's movie mistake that haunted him for a DECADE is FINALLY corrected

For the past decade, Ryan Gosling has been 'haunted' by the 'lazy' flat handed pose he struck during one La La Land dance scene, which wound up immortalized on all the artwork for the film.

'I thought we were supposed to have our hands up and I thought it'd be cool to put my hand like that,' the actor, 45, told WSJ Style in 2024.

'Even though everyone told me it wasn't cool, I was sure that that was cooler than that. And now when I look at it, and I have to see it all the time, you know, it would've been cooler than this.'

'It just killed the energy that way,' he shared. 'It was sort of like all leading to what? Just like a lazy, I call it "La La Hand."'

Gosling was so frustrated he recreated the pose, the correct way, in Griffith Park last March for an Instagram promo hyping his sci-fi flick, Project Hail Mary.

But Gosling's nightmare officially ended on Monday when Lionsgate unveiled the retouched La La Land poster, with his hand pointed up like Emma Stone's, in honor of the 10th anniversary re-release beginning August 16.

'You can see they are vastly different...It's like night and day. I think [Gosling] will [be happy],' Lionsgate EVP and Head of Worldwide TV Marketing Justin Manfredi said at the event Monday.

'In fact, we know he's happy because we let him know and he approved it. So it is approved. So moving forward, from this night starting at 7pm, rolling across every platform in the world we will be updating this art to the official art for La La Land.'

The Daily Mail has reached out to Gosling's representatives for comment, but did not immediately hear back.

In Damien Chazelle's romantic musical dramedy, Gosling portrayed pianist Seb Wilder, who wants to 'save jazz' by opening a club and falls in love with aspiring actress Mia Dolan, played by Emma Stone.

The Lionsgate release amassed $504.6 million from a $30 million budget and won six Oscars at the 89th Academy Awards.

Reaction to the news about the revamped poster from fans of La La Land was swift.

Instagram users like @jorpatmur immediately noticed the 'minor adjustment' and reacted: 'Y'ALL MOVED THE HAND?'

'Oh my god someone tell Ryan right now,' Instagram user @ashley.lavalle commented.

'RIP LA LA HAND (2016-2026),' Instagram user @ericcameronfilms wrote. 'You will be missed (but Ryan will be so happy).'

Instagram user @chloverj82 was angry after making a lifetime commitment: 'I got it tattooed the other way. So, respectfully, don't even.'

'I thought the hand was cool cause it show they weren't compatible in the end,' Instagram user @cody_cassell_official mused.

And Instagram user @graceyurchuk demanded: 'Reverse the La La Hand IMMEDIATELY!'
