The two actors pressed their hands and feet into cement at
the famed TCL Chinese Theater, where the ground is embedded with
slabs of concrete bearing prints of hands and feet belonging to
many of Hollywood's biggest names, such as Marilyn Monroe, Tom
Hanks and Meryl Streep.
Stone, 28, said she had visited the Chinese Theater when she
moved to Hollywood at age 15, and found that her hands were "an
exact match" for "Gentlemen Prefer Blondes" actress Jane
Russell.
"If you're looking for a Jane Russell hand-double, I'm your
girl," she quipped.
"This is just an incredible experience and making this movie was
an incredible experience, so what a place to get to commemorate
that," she added.
Gosling, 36, joked, "I'm still, I guess, not completely
convinced that we're not going to be arrested for vandalism, but
I'm going to take your word for it that we're allowed to do
this."
"La La Land," about an aspiring actress and jazz musician
falling in love while trying to succeed in Los Angeles, is
considered an Oscar front-runner, with critics praising Stone
and Gosling's performances.
The hand and feet ceremony came after the film's Los Angeles
premiere on Tuesday, where writer-director Damien Chazelle
praised the two stars.
"I think they combine sort of old Hollywood glamour with a
modern sensibility and they just speak the same language as
actors so I was so gifted to work with them individually and as
a pair," Chazelle said.
"La La Land" opens in U.S. theaters in limited release on Friday
before opening wide on Dec. 16.
