For the past decade, 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 Canadian 45-year-old 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. That.

'It just killed the energy that way. 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 's, in honor of the 10th anniversary re-release beginning August 16.
