We’re all in agreement that Ryan Gosling is everybody’s boyfriend, yes? This dude, who to me, was originally “that creepy teenager who Sandra Bullock is dating,” is now not only an A-list star and amazing actor, but perpetrator of ovary explosions worldwide. If I worked for the Scientific Institute of Bullshit Studies That Prove Things We all Know To Be True, I would be able to point you to some sort of fancy graph or chart that shows exactly how Ryan Gosling has a bizarre biological effect on 100% of women who view clips of him on the internet. Seriously; if he doesn’t stop going on talk shows, or existing, or whatever, I may end up pregnant. I’m not a doctor, but I am almost positive this is possible.
To test this theory, I’ve decided to compile the five most charming clips of Ryan Gosling. To be clear, these are clips of Ryan Gosling, not the characters he plays. Because as much as you may dig The Notebook or whatever, it doesn’t hold a candle to Gosling just being Gosling.
Just this week, Gosling did what a Simon Doonan-looking dude with an umbrella could not: he broke up a street fight in New York City. Not only that, but he did it while wearing a striped tank top and rolled up sweat pants LIKE A BOSS. “Hey girl, I was shopping for some new threads and couldn’t help noticing you were having a scuffle. Let’s cut that out.”
Fuck Yeah, Ryan Gosling is one of the greatest websites on the internet. Gosling is well aware of the Tumblr that is devoted to him, and here he giggles like Anderson Cooper, AKA “a 13-year-old-girl at a Justin Bieber meet and greet” while reading some entries from the site. He also explains why Blue Valentine is a companion piece to The Notebook:
While out promoting Crazy, Stupid, Love. (which I adored), Gosling stopped by Late Night with Jimmy Fallon to talk about the film and his recent move to New York (oh, and if you don’t think I’m cursing my decision to leave New York City every single day of my life, well then you do not know me at all, madame). So while he did talk about all of these things, he also brought along his dog George, who has a mohawk. Not seen: the part where he bites off pieces of an apple and feeds it to his dog. COME ON. Did I also mention that he tells an amazingly hilarious story about licking a dude’s belly while at a Turkish bath? Because he does:
While Gosling is primarily an actor, let’s not forget that he got his start on The Mickey Mouse Club along with Justin Timberlake, Britney Spears and Christina Aguilara, so dude can sing too. A couple of years ago, he and a buddy decided to learn how to play instruments and start a band called Dead Man’s Bones. Because that wasn’t awesome enough, they decided to make an album of love songs … to ghosts and monsters with titles like “My Body’s a Zombie for You.” Then they decided to make a video with a children’s choir. Why? Because that is how the Gosling rolls: he dresses children up in monster costumes and sings love songs to ghosts. And it is awesome.
Oh, that’s not enough? Really? Four clips of Gosling being everyone’s boyfriend still haven’t convinced you? Well then here: The hottest kiss that has ever happened in the history of the planet. Just watch it and think about how your life will never stack up to this moment at the MTV Movie Awards, of all damn things. Then cry. Then get over it and watch Lars and the Real Girl or Half Nelson. Then watch this clip seven more times and go to sleep. You’ll feel better in the morning.
