During a Wednesday appearance on _Jimmy Kimmel Live!_ to promote his new movie [_First Man_](http://time.com/5381790/first-man-review/), Gosling revealed that his role as Neil Armstrong, the first person to walk on the moon, in the Damien Chazelle-directed biopic has convinced his daughters that he is actually an astronaut. “They came to set and they came on this day where I was shooting a launch scene,” Gosling told Kimmel of his two daughters with Eva Mendes. “So I was in the space suit and pretending to launch. I think they think I’m an astronaut now.” The 37-year-old actor went on to reveal that his firstborn, Esmeralda, is now under the impression that he has a doozy of a daily commute. “My oldest said the other day, she pointed to the moon and she was like, ‘That’s where you work, right?'” Watch the full clip below. ## Transcript [00:00] [ MUSIC ] [00:05] Are [00:11] you sure? Yeah, it'll be an adventure. First [00:17] man to walk on the moon. [ MUSIC ] That'd be [00:19] something? We've chosen a job so difficult, [00:24] requiring so many technological developments, we're [00:28] gonna have to start from scratch. [ SOUND ] [00:36] [ SOUND ] [00:42] Only after we master this test. Then we consider trying [00:45] to land on the moon. [ SOUND ] Neil, [00:50] if this flight is successful, you'll go down in history. [00:52] What kind of thoughts do you have about that? We are [00:55] planning on the flight being successful. [ MUSIC ] [00:59] Damn, [01:01] that is a big mother. It'll go up like a half kiloton A [01:05] bomb if it blows. The vehicle's not safe. We need to fail [01:11] down Down here, so we don't fail up there. This isn't [01:14] just another trip, Neil, you're not just going to work. [01:16] Please, aren't you coming back? [ NOISE ] There [01:22] are risks, but we have every intention of coming [01:26] back. Somebody got a Swiss army knife? Swiss army [01:29] knife? Are you kidding me. [ SOUND ] [ BLANK_AUDIO ] [01:33] [ SOUND ] Here we go. Six, five, [01:38] four, three, two. [ SOUND ] [ MUSIC ] Do [01:50] you question whether the program's worth the cost in [01:52] money and in life. You're down here you look up and [01:56] you don't think about it too much. But space [01:58] exploration changes your perception. It allows us [02:02] to see things that we should of seen a long time ago. [02:04] We have serious problems [ MUSIC ] We've [02:08] got this under control. [ MUSIC ] You're a bunch of [02:11] boys. You don't have anything under control.
