The sensational report throws the film’s integrity into question, given that it was widely reported how the two stars of the film underwent intense dance training for their roles, of which Emma won an Oscar for.
But according to a film insider, the iconic Griffith Observatory scene, which is thought of as the film’s most intricate dance sequence in which Emma and Ryan fly through the observatory, apparently looked so good because it was crafted by professional dancers and not Emma and Ryan.
A stunt double allegedly used in the film has told The Sun how Ryan had two doubles for his dance scenes, whilst Emma’s moves were performed for her by pro-dancer Emilie Livingston, who is the dancer wife of Jeff Goldblum.
‘Ryan had three stunt doubles — two were dancers — and Emma’s dancing was done by Emilie Livingston,’ the inside tole The Sun On Sunday.
‘The sequence where they danced in the clouds was filmed on a platform and was not Ryan and Emma.’
Claiming film makers had tried silencing the dancers on the use of doubles, the source added: ‘Lots of people have been asking what really went on and we have been contacted by the studio, told off for talking and sworn to silence.
‘It’s not fair but they were insistent we shouldn’t tell anyone there were doubles for the dancing.’
Lionsgate were apparently quizzed on the use of dancing doubles in February but denied the claims, staying that, ‘both Ryan and Emma trained for three months intensively and everything you see is their work’, according to the newspaper.
However, the film production company has now released a contradictory statement which confirms the use of doubles, specifically in that iconic Griffith Observatory scene.
‘Doubles were used for some silhouette turns in the latter half of the observatory scene,’ the statement reads.
Livingston is credited on La La Land’s IMDB page, described as a ‘stunt double’ for Mia, the role Emma played.
