Living with Ryan Gosling might be some people\u2019s idea of a dream come true. But for actress Michelle Williams, rooming with the star while filming the 2010 flick Blue Valentine wasn\u2019t all fun and games. <\/p>\n

In fact, she called it \u201chorrible.\u201d <\/p>\n

\u201cWe shot the first part where they\u2019re young and in love and everything is going really well and then we took a two-week break and we lived together,\u201d Williams, 44, said. <\/p>\n

Pretty soon after they moved in, things started to change, she said on this week\u2019s episode of Dax Shepard\u2019s Armchair Expert podcast. <\/p>\n

The movie depicts the evolution of a marriage by showcasing how a happy relationship can transform into a strained and unhappy one. The movie ends with Williams\u2019 character leaving Gosling\u2019s, thanks to the sad and painful dynamic that the actors likely wanted to practice via method acting. <\/p>\n

\u201cWe did these improvisations during the day to, honestly, find out ways to annoy each other and to destroy this thing that we had made,\u201d Williams said. <\/p>\n

Despite the production team not wanting a filming break, she and Gosling, 44, were \u201chaving such a hard time letting go of the thing we loved.\u201d <\/p>\n<\/p>\n

So they were given a challenge: destroy their own relationship. <\/p>\n

\u201cWe learned how to annoy each other. It was horrible,\u201d Williams recalled. \u201cI don\u2019t want to give you reasons to hate me. We were having such a good time. The party has to be over so soon?\u201d<\/p>\n

The Manchester by the Sea star said they even went so far as to burn their characters\u2019 wedding photos. They were also told to act out difficult scenarios to trigger the emotional fallout and better create a failing relationship. <\/p>\n

\u201cYou don\u2019t have to hate me, because now I hate me,\u201d Williams added. \u201cI\u2019m annoying. We [were] calling forth all our worst qualities!\u201d<\/p>\n

Williams\u2019 method acting bore fruit when she received an Oscar nomination for Best Actress for her portrayal of Cindy. Gosling, meanwhile, was nominated for a Golden Globe for his performance as Dean. The Notebook hunk said in 2010 that part of their challenge while filming was trying to \u201cdismantle this thing we had been building.\u201d <\/p>\n

\u201c[Originally,] we all worked really hard to create this love story portion, when they\u2019re falling in love,\u201d he said at the time. \u201cWe wanted it to feel genuine and real and true. And we spent all of this time building it up, and then we had to tear it down.\u201d<\/p>\n

He added that while filming, \u201cYou\u2019re trying to remember that it is a movie, because it\u2019s so easy to get lost in it.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Living with Ryan Gosling might be some people\u2019s idea of a dream come true.
