Eva Mendes named Rocky, the alien character in Project Hail Mary, as the only Ryan Gosling co-star she had ever been jealous of. It was a playful Instagram comment about Gosling spending time with the character and their matching rings—not a serious claim about relationship trouble.
Who was Eva Mendes joking about?
Mendes was referring to Rocky, Gosling’s alien companion in Project Hail Mary. E! News reported on February 10, 2026, that she posted the remark in a comment on an Instagram post about the film. E! identifies James Ortiz as Rocky’s voice performer and describes the character as Gosling’s CGI friend. E! News

What did Mendes say?
E! reproduced Mendes’s comment as: “His only costar I’ve ever been jealous of…Rocky,” followed by, “They spent wayyy too much time together. They even got each others rings. WTF!!?” The joke hinges on Gosling’s time with Rocky and the matching rings she mentioned; it does not establish that Mendes was genuinely upset.
How did Ryan Gosling respond?
In a February 27, 2026 follow-up, ComingSoon reported Gosling’s response during an Entertainment Tonight interview. He reportedly said, “Well…I just love the guy,” and that “she’s okay with it cause she loves him too,” before calling Rocky “the best alien friend you are ever gonna have.” Those remarks are ComingSoon’s account of the interview.
