Russell Crowe had NO idea this was going to happen. None. That's why he's come across with such gems as "Ladies and gentleman, you might not recognize him with his clothes on - Ryan Gosling."

In case you're wondering why they're dressed like the pleather car interior and a musty bank circa 1979, the pair are currently shooting The Nice Guys in LA. As for what the snappily named AACTA Awards are, they're the Australian version of the Golden Globes, or the Australian Academy of Cinema and Television Arts Awards.

Contrived or not, this video is really quite funny, can't imagine why the Aussie audience are guffawing more.

P.S. for those of you who saw 'Ryan Reynolds' instead of 'Ryan Gosling' in the title, I'm clearly still thinking of that taxi rank scene from the first episode of Cucumber... If you saw it, you'll know what I mean.
