I guess he wasn't reared that way . . .

I'm glad he wasn't...I've been a fan since I saw Drive. I also liked him in Crazy, Stupid Love and The Ides of March. Not sure he would have been where he is now if he was a Backstreet Boy.

I think he's doing much better now than he would be if he'd been a Backstreet Boy.

It must have been a hard year for Rob Thomas.

Oh geez. Serves me right for grabbing a quick GIS.

If this thread dives into yet another discussion about Drive where the only two camps are "ITS TEH AWSUM RYUN GOZLIN 4EVS" or "meh, his character is autistic and the entire film is a crappy masturbatory homage to Michael Mann", I will eat my stapler.

The leap from Mouseketeer to Backstreet Boys isn't exactly huge....

/not exactly a man-crush, but I do like the guy in most everything he does..

What camp are you in?

Seriously. I'm glad he opted for staying the charming acting route rather than the charming guy in a boy band being managed by a pederast.

Right, because traveling all over the world, making millions and millions of dollars and banging every hot chick (or guy - NTTIAWWT) you can get your hands on?

Definitely not how I wanted to spend my late teens early twenties...

Have you not heard of the "stabbing people with towel racks is fun" camp?

On another note, I hate to be mean but this Gosling fellow is a wee bit dopey looking at the best of times.

89 Stick-Up Kid		2013-01-15 03:19:58 PM

He's "almost" a decent actor too. I'm waiting for him to be in a movie that isn't a pile of shiat...or one without that annoying biatch everyone seems to love.

Smock Pot		2013-01-15 03:21:26 PM

Put a bag over his head and bring him to me.

todesesser		2013-01-15 03:30:14 PM

I'm surprised nobody industrious has made a many faces of Ryan Gosling jpg. He has such stunning range, from dopey to disinterested.

/not a fan
//Drive sucked

Incorrigible Astronaut		2013-01-15 03:45:58 PM

I met him at CES last week. Unlike some celebrities (Will.I.Am and Pauly Shore- wtf?), he didn't take an entourage or anything with him- just a scruffy-looking dude walking around and checking out the latest tech stuff. He even made an effort to hide his badge so that people wouldn't recognize him.

/Nice guy, said that he liked the booth/presentation I was in

How does a Canadian wind up with a New York accent? No, not his characters, him.

Dialectic		2013-01-15 04:35:42 PM

If he had been a BackStreet boy back in 90s. Then, there would 2 gay dudes.

Ha, that reminds me of the joke that was going around when NSYNC was still big and Timberlake and the rest of those idiots were all speaking like wigger rappers, it was said of them that "they must have grown up on the streets....of the Mickey Mouse club."

This joke is all in the delivery, but I lol'd,

ALRIGHT!

Dr.Mxyzptlk.		2013-01-15 07:21:08 PM

I thought he was great in The Believer.

A fantastic movie .

Hi Guys! What's going on in this thread?

Gosling trifecta?

ParadisePornoTheater		2013-01-15 09:53:35 PM

He's no Pete Best. Or Pete Willis. Give thanks and praise.

Came here to post that! That's the one thing that bothers me about him. Didn't he grow up in Cornwall, ON? The only other person I know from Cornwall was a smiley, wide-eyed gay dude. He didn't sound like he was from New York.
