Ryan gosling

Criticizing typical clichés is very easy, as is falling into them. That an actor wants to experiment with all kinds of characters and isn’t afraid to jump into the void with roles that might make many people’s hair stand on end, is praiseworthy. There is a lot of talk about how so-and-so doesn’t like to pigeonhole himself, which really isn’t valid for so many. However, in Gosling’s case it is as real as the top of a pine tree.

He was born on November 12, 1980 in Canadian London. The son of Mormon parents, he received a peculiar education because instead of going to school, his mother taught him at home. Where he did go, he went to high school, although by then he already felt strongly attracted to the artistic life. He was a boy when he entered a singing contest with his sister, and a 12-year-old brat when he was chosen from 17,000 applicants to participate in the television series The Mickey Mouse Club . The series was filmed in Montreal and for the two years that he was part of it he lived at the home of his co-star and his family. Something more than anecdotal, considering that this partner was Justin Timberlake .

With things more than clear, Ryan Gosling moved to Los Angeles when he was 16 years old, determined to make his dream of being an actor come true. His film debut was precisely in 1996 in the family film My friend Frankenstein . However, his first years in the movie mecca were marked by television, where he starred in the series Young Hercules (1998-1999). A year later he returned to the movies as a supporting role in the sports drama starring Denzel Washington Titans. They made history . So far everything seems to fit with the baggage of an actor like any other. Then came The Believer(2001), his first protagonist and the rock on which to build a risky, varied and enriching career. The believer gave him the opportunity to play a complex character, since he was a young Jew with Nazi ideology, a paper time bomb.

The hunter was already on the move, insatiable for new and different characters with which to satisfy his instincts. His next choice led to him being a brat-turned-assassin in the thriller Murder…1-2-3 (2002), where he coincided with Sandra Bullock . To curl the loop he went from a more or less conventional criminal, to a young murderer with psychological problems in Leland’s World , which allowed him to work alongside the greats Kevin Spacey and Don Cheadle . Nor was it a plan to pigeonhole himself in dark characters, so Gosling opted to go for the opposite term in Noa’s Diary(2004). With this romantic film, for many in excess, Gosling showed that she could make the audience fall in love and not just provoke feelings of rejection in him. Gosling’s new face served to make himself known to a larger audience, as the movie had some success. In addition, the tape also helped him to meet Rachel McAdams , with whom he had an affair.

His constant navigation through various genres led him to the psychological thriller In Transit (2005), where he was a suicidal man suffering from horrific hallucinations, and to the drama Fracture (2007), where he was the unscrupulous prosecutor prosecuting Anthony Hopkins . Between these two films, with more or less attractive characters, came his great working moment with Half Nelson (2006), which earned him an Oscar nomination. The film gave a twist to the typical tape of a willful teacher in a marginal neighborhood. Gosling was a troubled high school teacher with great teaching skills. The fight for his students joins his personal fight with his problematic reality, in which, among other things, there is an addiction to drugs.

Now he is about to premiere the dramatic comedy Lars and a real girl (2007), where he has played a shy young man with mental difficulties. Among his future plans is becoming a missing persons detective in All Good Things , and Blue Valentine , where he returns to the romance genre.

With the need to explore every area of ​​his profession, he defines his way of working in a very simple way: “You know that there are times when shopping centers reward a consumer with 10 minutes in which they can take everything they want and keep it. This is basically what is happening to me. I run and try to catch as many characters as possible before I get sidelined in the business.” A whole declaration of principles that complies to the letter to the satisfaction of those who like risky and talented actors.
