Simmons tells The Hollywood Reporter that the two ad-libbed the scene quite extensively, so it sounds like there will be some great DVD extras of the two going back and forth.
Simmons plays a restaurant owner who has begrudgingly re-hired Ryan Gosling’s Sebastian to play the piano for the patrons eating dinner.
The early scenes between Ryan Gosling and J.K. Simmonds are fantastic, though.
Sebastian, who loves classic jazz, has a tendency to play music that the owner doesn’t want to hear which leads to a tension between the two.
