If you feel bad about yourself just remember there was once a time Ryan Gosling believed he didnt have a romance lead face
-
I love seeing Ryan Gosling get praise for his comedy. He’s the funniest actor for me
-
The Nice Guys is SO underrated. One of the best comedy of recent years
-
I used to think he was just a heartthrob, a pretty boy and then I saw the Nice Guys, Drive...the list goes on. His talent to truly embody the character he is playing is really good. He's become one of my favorite actors.
-
He’s good at being human - something I thing most actors miss. You can embody a roll to perfection, but if you leave being a person at the door, something is missing. For whatever character he plays, he’s still just a person too, and it makes him someone to connect with.
-
I appreciate the video but next time ask for permission to make a video of me.
-
Lars and the real girl is truly such a hidden gem.
-
He wasn’t a creepy character in Lars & The Real Girl…. He played a sweet, hurt, shy character, who found a way to start coming out of shy loney-ness. The story was an excellent character study, and Ryan played it very well, making the character a believable human being.

Gosling has been one of my favorite actors for years, he just nails every role
-
He feels more relatable and real than brad pitt or decaprio
-
He is, as George stated, the best of his generation. Watching him become the actor he is today has been a pleasure. Him with Crowe in The Nice Guys, I was laughing the entire time EVERY time I've watched the movie. Adam Driver is on this level, too.
-
His range is incredible. He's not an actor, he's an artist. Very few actors can pull that off.
-
Jake Gyllenhaal and Ryan Gosling are by far my two favourites.
-
Gosling's definitely an actor and not a movie star. He creates many different characters (just compare 'Barbie' to 'Drive' to 'The Nice Guys' to 'Blade Runner' to 'The Place Beyond the Pines') and is not required to deliver on brand consistency as all movie stars must do in order to generate box office returns. He goes for awards (the big 4) over box office so is trying to compete with other actors rather than other movie stars. I think he would find it boring if he changed profession and had to deliver the same persona with each project for the sake of brand consistency in order to just be a studio cash cow. Those guys make a ton of money though but I'm glad that Gosling's aspirations were more artistic when he had to option to go purely commercial and become a movie star instead.

His role in The Big Short will always be one of my favourites ever, the first time I saw how funny he could be. Truly one of the best.
-
The Nice Guys is a CRIMINALLY under rated movie. I couldn't recommend that movie enough to anyone It's so god damn funny.
-
Actors with a dance background bring the ability to change their physicality by role, which is the missing piece when you don't quite buy into an actor who can't. He merges that with a Meryl Streep- like invisibility cloak and you get a velvet hammer of an actor.
-
The Place Beyond the Pines was a masterpiece performance by Gosling. Extremely underrated movie.
-
Lars really is an incredible movie. It really made me love Gosling's acting and character development.
-
I love seeing people who were obviously born to do what they do and who have found their calling and embraced and nourished it and it paid off. Makes me happy. He truly is an outstanding artist with such impressive range.
