An A-Z Guide To Ryan Gosling

By Brad Williams / February 12, 2013

T: Terrence Malick

Working with Terrance Malick is like working with cinematic royalty, and is a rare privilege afforded to only a small number of the Hollywood elite. Gosling will soon be added to that number in the as yet untitled project both actor and director are currently working on. Malick, however, is also known for reducing entire performances to the cutting room floor. So lets just hope that Gosling makes a big enough impression to get some screen time. Otherwise this could end up being the first wet leaf ahead of the Ryan Gosling Express. U: Ukulele In case you didn't know, Ryan Gosling is very musical, (see also, Z: Zach Shields). He plays a wide variety of instruments such as guitar, bass, piano and the ukulele. Goslings affinity for the ukulele probably comes more due to his idiosyncratic mindset, rather than a deep connection with the people of Hawaii. However, one cannot think of an instrument more fitting to an individual than that magically poetic little member of the guitar family to Ryan Gosling. Goslings most famous use of the ukulele is for singing You Always Hurt The Ones You Love, and did so on Jimmy Kimmel and in Blue Valentine. Frustratingly for mere mortals like myself, such goofy behaviors only make Gosling more adorable to people rather than single him out as a bit of a dork. damn you Ryan Gosling!!! V: Vests

Now here is one that literally no one should get away with, yet once again, Gosling does it all in his stride. When not on films sets or sporting an expensive suit, Gosling likes to walk around in vests and tank tops. Call it what you want; A-shirt, wife-beater, under top or yankton; the vest is still not an acceptable member of the outer garment family. It never has been and it never will be. What the heck is wrong with you Gosling? You look like a cross between an L.A gang member and Jean-Paul Gaultiers sex dream...yet people adore you.
