About a day ago, Ryan Gosling, 43, made a guest appearance on The Late Show to promote his new movie, The Fall Guy.

During the nearly 11-minute interview, the actor participated in Stephen‘s “The Colbert Questionert.”
When the late-night talk show host asked about the best sandwich, the Drive actor answered ice cream.
“I see how this is going to go,” the host teased.
As the questionnaire segment continued, Stephen then asked: “What is the scariest animal?”
“Man,” the Barbie star replied.
“Am I wrong?”
Stephen nodded and shrugged his shoulders.
“Or the mosquito,” the actor added.
He explained how mosquitoes have killed “more people than anything else.”
“Absolutely!” Stephen agreed.
All of a sudden, Ryan burped in front of the camera.
“I’m just going to let that sink in,” Stephen jested before turning serious.
“It’s true. Mosquitoes have killed more people than any other creature on earth.”
THE COMMENTS
In the comments section of the show’s YouTube page, fans were impressed by the star’s “sharp answer.”

“Finally. [Ryan]’s the first guest to answer “the mosquito” which indeed kills the most people every year. Was waiting for this since the first Colbert Questionert,” one fan squealed.
“The first one to give the correct answer to the most dangerous animal question. Also, I’d like to adopt Ryan as my nephew,” another fan gushed.
‘CARRY PARASITES’
On Friday, NPR [National Public Radio] confirmed that “the mosquito is in fact the deadliest animal on earth.”
“Mosquitoes can carry parasites for many diseases: dengue fever, zika…and malaria,” according to the World Health Organization.
When the bug bites, it releases an “infectious and potentially deadly spit.”
The nonprofit media organization also agreed ice cream sandwiches are the best.
AT THE BOX OFFICE
Meanwhile, The Fall Guy is now out in theaters.
The film kickstarted the summer season with a disappointing $28.5 million at the box office, Variety reported.
On Mother’s Day weekend, the action-packed romantic comedy competes against Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes and the horror movie Tarot.
