Ryan Reynolds and Jake Gyllenhaal teamed up for the 2017 sci-fi thriller Life, playing astronauts

Plot twist they’re both sleeper agents and “socks” was their code word

You know it never occured to me that you wouldn't need sneakers on a space mission

You gotta love it when they break through the malaise of the press junket with a good question.

jeezus I've never seen actors get so activated during an interview LMAO "omfg socks!?!!! 😲😲😲🧦🧦🧦👀👀👀"

This was the excitement level of the Spidey kids starstruck by the WatchMojo lady interviewing them.

They have that same energy as two high school kids who just found out they love the video game. 😂

The male equivalent of a dress with pockets!

aboard the International Space Station who encounter a terrifying extraterrestrial life-form that begins evolving at an alarming rate. The movie leaned heavily into suspense and its claustrophobic setting, putting a darker spin on the traditional space thriller. Reynolds brought his signature humor and charm, while Gyllenhaal delivered a more serious and grounded performance. Their contrasting personalities worked surprisingly well together, helping turn Life into a memorable and seriously unsettling modern sci-fi thriller.

These two turning into toddlers for a moment! 😂 10/10

This is the temperature and I expected from Ryan but oh my God I have never seen Jake Gyllenhaal this excited in an interview before 😂😂

I need to watch this. Their dynamic in this interview alone is hilarious.

Knowing both of them, i cant tell if they are fucking around or dead serious and actually that excited lol

Best question by the way, for the second best answer

Happiest i've seen jake😭

You know you crushed it as an interviewer if you get a reaction like this

On one hand it feels like a goofy sarkasm response. On the other hand I have seen so many of LOTR interviews on how much they hated their clothes, the fake feet etc. to a point that this seens genuine 😂😂

Wow that was like a switch being flipped XD

They both definitely agreed that whatever her next question was is gonna be the best question they've ever heard

Socks are the way to a mans heart

As a child i hated getting socks as gifts as a grown man it's the only gift i want. I know that feeling i cant explain but i love socks.
