Ryan Gosling loved being reunited with Emma Stone in Gangster Squad.

The duo starred opposite each other in 2011 in rom-com Crazy, Stupid, Love and rediscovered their chemistry in the new crime drama.

Ryan admits he doesn't find it strange being back in somewhat familiar territory with his co-star, and instead he thinks it makes for a better performance.

He told Shortlist magazine: "I love the idea of working with the same people. You spend most of the time getting to know a person, getting to know how they work, developing a shorthand together."

"So it's nice to be able to go into a second picture with them and hit the ground running. You're able to do better work and you don't waste time with formalities."

The 32-year-old actor and Emma, 24, are joined by the likes of Sean Penn and Josh Brolin and while he admitted it can be hard to stay straight-faced when he's with Emma, the ensemble made for a great experience.

He said: "It's tough with Emma because we are such knuckleheads, and we have to be serious. Especially as we got to know each other on a comedy. And it was incredible to get to work with all of those guys - not only the Seas and Joshs, but Giovanni Ribisi and Robert Patrick. it was a great group of guys."
