Ford said he admires Gosling's choice of films, reported Entertainment Tonight.
"It wasn't 'The Notebook'," Ford jokingly said.
"I'm gonna take a wild stab in the dark and say it wasn't," added Gosling. "It wasn't The Notebook."
"Everything I've seen him do was a challenge well met. It was more than I thought you could possibly do. I mean, the discipline to learn all the dancing, the singing and the keyboard ('in La La Land').... But also (films like) 'The Place Beyond the Pines'. I've been watching him for years and I really admire what he's done," Ford added.
Ford reprises his role as Rick Deckard, a former android bounty hunter who has been off the grid for over 30 years.
