15 years on from my Oscar nod for “Blue Valentine,” I, as a seasoned lifestyle connoisseur, reflect upon the unconventional journey shared with my esteemed co-star, Ryan Gosling. Living together during filming proved to be an extraordinary, albeit at times challenging, experience that left lasting memories and an undeniable bond.

The movie by director-screenwriter Derek Cianfrance (known for The Place Beyond the Pines) received widespread critical acclaim, with particular recognition given to the intense performances delivered by both Williams and Gosling.

In the movie, they depicted a young couple, Dean and Cindy, whose story unfolds from different stages of their relationship, even showing the breakdown and eventual end of their marriage.

In 2009, when filming started, Williams (age 44) – who had lost her partner Heath Ledger a year prior – shared her distinctive experiences in an interview with Dax Shepard on his Armchair Expert podcast.

To delve deeper into the complexities of their characters’ connection, they decided it would be beneficial for them to share living quarters for a while, strictly within a professional context.

Instead, she labeled the event ‘awful,’ as it signified a significant change in their relationship dynamics.

In my account, the movie seamlessly switches between portraying Dean and Cindy as blissfully in love and experiencing stark contrasts, as I personally witnessed a pause or interruption in the filming process during those transitions, eloquently described by Williams.

Williams explained that initially, we filmed the initial segment when they were young, full of love, and things were going splendidly. Afterward, we paused for a fortnight, during which time we cohabited.

She pointed out that it was more akin to saying, “work hours, 9 to 5, little one,” and they weren’t living together in the traditional sense, but they acted this way to sabotage the affectionate duo they had developed prior to their filming hiatus.

She openly confessed that we came up with those impromptus during the day, primarily to find methods to irritate one another. Also, to dismantle the creation we had built.

The actress went on to explain that at first, they had not planned to have that intermission, but expressed, “It was so challenging for us to let go of something we cherished deeply.

In simpler terms, Director Cianfrance said, ‘We must intentionally ruin this and destroy it completely,’ which resulted in an unusual ritual.

Williams confessed that after performing a ceremonial burning of our wedding picture, we began figuring out ways to irritate one another.

As an ardent admirer, I can’t help but reflect on the moment when Shepard confessed that it would’ve been quite a challenge to accomplish what he did with someone who had only known for a few short months. In response, Williams echoed my thoughts, ‘Yes, it was truly dreadful.’

“I must admit, it was quite unpleasant, and I wouldn’t wish for anything to make you dislike me or become annoyed. Coincidentally, we were really enjoying ourselves, but it seems our good time had to end rather abruptly.

In the second half of that shoot, I truly felt the weight of heartbreak. Looking back, I was younger then, and it wasn’t always easy for me to detach from such intense feelings during filming.

Today was a tough workday, and I’m feeling it right now. I push through it, but I’m looking forward to going home where I can truly shut the door on it all. As a child, work-related matters would occasionally creep under the door,” she confessed.

I was absolutely thrilled when they nominated me for Best Actress, all thanks to my stunning performance as Cindy. However, the excitement was short-lived as Natalie Portman stole the show with her exceptional portrayal in Black Swan, leaving me runner-up in the end. Still, I couldn’t be more proud to have been recognized among such incredible actresses!
