Biography
Ryan Thomas Gosling was born on November 12, 1980, at St. Joseph’s Hospital in London, Ontario, the son of Thomas Ray Gosling, a travelling salesman for a paper mill, and Donna, a secretary. Both of his parents are of part French Canadian descent, along with some German, English, Scottish, and Irish. He and his family were members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, and Gosling has said that the religion influenced every aspect of their lives. Because of his father’s work, they “moved around a lot” and Gosling lived in both Cornwall, Ontario and Burlington, Ontario. His parents divorced when he was 13, and he and his older sister Mandi lived with their mother, an experience Gosling has credited with programming him “to think like a girl”.
Gosling was educated at Gladstone Public School, Cornwall Collegiate and Vocational School and Lester B. Pearson High School. As a child, he watched Dick Tracy and was inspired to become an actor. He “hated” being a child, was bullied in elementary school, and had no friends until he was “14 or 15”. In grade one, having been heavily influenced by the action film First Blood, he took steak knives to school and threw them at other children during recess. This incident led to a suspension. He was unable to read, and was evaluated for attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), but was not diagnosed with it and, contrary to false reports, never took medication. His mother left her job and home-schooled him for a year. He has said homeschooling gave him “a sense of autonomy that I’ve never really lost”. Gosling performed in front of audiences from an early age, encouraged by his sister being a performer. He and his sister sang together at weddings; he performed with Elvis Perry, his uncle’s Elvis Presley tribute act, and was involved with a local ballet company. Performing boosted his self-confidence as it was the only thing for which he received praise. He developed an idiosyncratic accent because, as a child, he thought having a Canadian accent did not sound “tough”. He began to model his accent on that of Marlon Brando. Gosling dropped out of high school at age 17 to focus on his acting career.
Career
Gosling earned parts in Remember the Titans and The Believer before starring alongside Sandra Bullock in Murder by Numbers. He became a household name with his performance in Nicholas Sparks’ The Notebook in 2004 with Rachel McAdams. He took home an MTV Movie Award and four Teen Choice Awards for his performance in the film. He followed up the role with appearances in Stay, Half Nelson, Fracture, and Lars and the Real Girl before taking a three-year hiatus from filming movies. His work on Half Nelson got him his very first Academy Award nomination for Best Actor. The next year, he was nominated for his first Golden Globe for Best Actor for his role in Lars and the Real Girl.
Net Worth
Ryan Gosling is reportedly worth approximately $70 Million dollars.
Personal Life
Gosling dated Murder by Numbers co-star Sandra Bullock for a year. For two years in the mid-oughts, he was linked with The Notebook co-star Rachel McAdams.
Gosling began dating Eva Mendes, his co-star in The Place Beyond the Pines, in September 2011. They have two daughters together, born in September 2014 and April 2016.
Outside of acting, Gosling continues to find satisfaction from different musical ventures. He is an accomplished jazz singer and guitarist. He’s part of the band Dead Man’s Bones. The band released one album and performed on a 13-date tour in North America.
He co-owns a Moroccan restaurant in Beverly Hills called Tagine. He bought the restaurant “on an impulse” and spent a year renovating it. He now oversees the menu.
Gosling is active in various charities and social causes. He worked with PETA on a campaign to encourage fast-food restaurants to improve their methods of chicken slaughter. He volunteered in Mississippi in 2005 on a clean-up effort following the devastation of Hurricane Katrina. He supports Invisible Children, Inc. a charity which raises awareness about the “Lord’s Resistance Army” rebel group in Central Africa. Gosling has travelled to Darfur refugee camps, and he was a speaker on Darfur at Campus Progress’s National Conference in 2008.
