The duo were promoting the new sequel from filmmaker Denis Villeneuve on Friday's episode of The Graham Norton Show (29 September) when Ford momentarily seemed to forget Gosling's first name to huge laughs from the audience.
Ever the professionals, both actors turned the blip into a recurring gag throughout the interview.
Gosling takes on the lead role in Blade Runner 2049, the long-awaited follow-up to Ridley Scott's seminal 1982 film that critics ary almost-unanimously branding “a masterpiece.”
Sat alongside Ford and Gosling on Norton's sofa were Big Little Lies' Reese Witherspoon, who was promoting new romance film Home Again, and Goodbye Christopher Robin star Margot Robbie.
The film - which is released 6 October - co-stars Jared Leto, Robin Wright, Mackenzie Davis, Dave Bautista and Barkhad Abdi.
