Ryan Gosling urged film and TV bosses to give his brotherin-law Carlo Mendes a job during a promotional event for Project Hail Mary.

The actors were at the Directors Guild of America headquarters in Los Angeles on March 21, and Ryan, 45, took the opportunity to big up Carlo, 48, in front of the writers, directors and producers in the audience.

In a video shared to TikTok on Monday, the moderator was wrapping up the talk as Ryan jumped in with: “Can I stop you one second? Carlo, are you in the audience? Where? Carlo Mendes, can you stand up for a second?”

The camera then panned to Carlo as he stood up in the room. Ryan - who is believed to have been married to Carlo’s 52-yearold sister, former actress Eva Mendes, since 2022 - then proceeded to ask if there were any film bosses in the audience who could give his brother-in-law a job.

Ryan said: “OK, how many of you are directors? Raise your hand. How many producers? How many writers?’”

The Nice Guys star then introduced his guest, who has appeared in TV shows and films since the mid-2000s.

Ryan explained: “OK, this is Carlo Mendez. He’s Eva Mendes’ brother. He is the hardest-working nonworking actor in this town that I have ever met. So my Hail Mary is, please, hire this man! He deserves it
