The Blue Valentine star said,

“When I was a kid, I saw Rambo: First Blood – the movie put a spell on me, and I thought I was Rambo. I even thought my face felt like Sylvester Stallone’s. And I put a bunch of steak knives in my Fisher Price Houdini kit. I took them to school the next day, and I threw them at all the kids at recess. I got suspended, rightfully so, and I’m sorry. I never did anything like that again.”

He continued,

“So my parents were like, ‘This guy can’t watch movies. They have too much of an effect on him.’ So I could only watch Bible movies and National Geographic movies. So the next week, I came to school, and I hit a kid in the neck with a blow dart. That’s not true; that’s a joke!”

Ryan Gosling is not the only actor who has intrigued fans with his hilarious knife anecdote. Over the years, Hollywood beauty Angelina Jolie has shared her fascination with knives.

She found her passion for knives because of her late beloved mother, Marcheline Bertrand, who taught her how to handle knives carefully.

Jolie opened up about her collection and said that she does not have brand-new sharp knives but has an exclusive collection of rare antique beautiful knives from other countries.

The actress reportedly has an extensive collection of blades and knives. The Tourist movie actress said that her obsession with these sharp objects took a sour turn, and as a teenager, she became self-destructive in nature. She said,

“I didn’t feel close enough to another person, I didn’t feel alive enough. Nothing ever felt real and honest enough. And so because I had knives around, early on in my first s–ual relationship, I got knives out and had a night where we attacked each other.”

Jolie’s son Maddox developed his interest in daggers when he was seven years old, and the actress also allegedly claimed once that she wants her kids to have the same interest in these sharp weapons, and her obsession for these tools and her wanting her kids to learn how to handle them, has sparked controversy many times.
