Blade Runner 2049 star Harrison Ford forgot Ryan Gosling's name on TV

The professionals turned the blip into a recurring gag throughout the interview

Blade Runner 2049 actor Harrison Ford struggled to recall the name of his co-star Ryan Gosling despite his co-star being sat right next to him

The duo were promoting the new sequel from filmmaker Denis Villeneuve on Friday's episode of The Graham Norton Show (29 September) when Ford momentarily seemed to forget Gosling's first name to huge laughs from the audience.

Ever the professionals, both actors turned the blip into a recurring gag throughout the interview.

Gosling takes on the lead role in Blade Runner 2049, the long-awaited follow-up to Ridley Scott's seminal 1982 film that critics ary almost-unanimously branding “a masterpiece.”

Sat alongside Ford and Gosling on Norton's sofa were Big Little Lies' Reese Witherspoon, who was promoting new romance film Home Again, and Goodbye Christopher Robin star Margot Robbie.

The film - which is released 6 October - co-stars Jared Leto, Robin Wright, Mackenzie Davis, Dave Bautista and Barkhad Abdi.
