Ryan Gosling

Ryan Gosling, a Canadian-born actor and musician, has established himself as one of the finest talents in Hollywood. Born on November 12, 1980, in London, Ontario, he was raised as a Mormon in Cornwall. He showcased his artistic potential at an early age when he was accepted by Disney Channel's Mickey Mouse Club at age 12, setting the stage for a successful acting career. Gosling's breakthrough in the film industry came with the 2001 drama movie The Believer, where he played a Jewish neo-Nazi. His performance was highly acclaimed and won him the Best Actor award at the Moscow International Film Festival. However, it was his role in the romantic drama The Notebook (2004) that catapulted him to stardom. His portrayal of Noah Calhoun alongside actress Rachel McAdams not only earned him an MTV Movie Award but also turned him into a household name. Apart from acting, Gosling is also known for his musical pursuits. He formed the rock duo Dead Man's Bones with his friend Zach Shields, releasing their debut album in 2009. Despite his success in the entertainment industry, Gosling maintains a low-key profile, often stepping away from the spotlight to focus on his personal life. A father of two daughters, he shares his life with actress Eva Mendes.
