The Evolution of Ryan Gosling

what’s your move like what’s your big move I got lots of moves what’s your big move I’m not telling you my big move tell me your move you’re not ready for the big move welcome to miss Mojo and today we’re looking at Ryan Gosling’s Evolution from child star to dramatic actor to Ken I’m [Music] just part one can’t wait to grow up born in Ontario Canada at the dawn of the80s Ryan Gosling spent much of his youth on the road due to his father’s job as a traveling salesman even as a kid we never really had a a house we always lived in apartments or you know we were always moving with his family’s lives revolving around the Mormon Church Gosling wasn’t allowed to watch films unaffiliated with the Bible he nonetheless managed to see Dick Tracy one of his earliest acting influences who set me up huh you cockroach Fu he also saw First Blood which inspired the friendless Gosling to throw steak knives at the other school children resulting in suspension things weren’t much better at home as his parents’s marriage crumbled although TV provided an escape seeing Rael Welch danced with a giant spider on The Muppet Show Gosling was no longer content watching TV he wanted to be on it oh please walk demonstrating his knack for song and dance and talent sh a 12-year-old Gosling was cast in a reboot of the Mickey Mouse Club he performed alongside fellow Rising Stars Britney Spears Christina Aguilera and Justin [Music] Timberlake Gosling developed a close friendship with the latter stealing a golf cart together Timberlake’s mother also took temporary custody of Gosling as his parents divorced and his mother had to remain in Canada for work reasons well that’s good and all but I think you guys need to make it a little more exciting he eventually reunited with his mother who stepped back from the church while allowing her son to choose his spiritual path Gosling was raised alongside his sister Mandy calling her his best friend and hero growing up the child actor otherwise had few friends until his early teens calling himself a lonely child don’t go running and tell them what you see cuz all box your is don’t need them ladies fussing over it as much as he loved being a mousketeer gosling felt his co-stars were more gifted that didn’t stop him from finding work Gosling is among the few actress to appear in episodes of both are You Afraid of the Dark and goosebumps that was close that was too close I’m never ever doing anything like that again by 17 Gosling had dropped out of high school to pursue acting full-time starring in the teen dramedy breaker High and and playing the lead in young Hercules unsatisfied portraying one character for an extended period Gosling branched out to feature films this is another one of those UFO landing sites I’ll kill you it’s better following the little scene Frankenstein and me Gosling hit the Silver Screen running as football player Alan Bosley in Disney’s Remember the Titans although this supporting role showcased his potential as a dramatic actor Gosling sought to distance himself from his former Child stardom taking on darker parts this one I mean I don’t even have to ask but I will what do you think of this one part two a serious actor since Gosling hated being a kid it makes sense why he’d be eager to tackle adult characters the believer marked Gosling’s first film as a lead playing a Neo-Nazi from a Jewish upbringing we have nothing to learn from these people you should be learning from us and what should we learn from you Danielle kill your enemy while Gosling shared little in common with this hatef fil protagonist both had complicated relationships with their religious backgrounds helping to shape his layered performance the film was a Sundance favorite while Gosling’s transformative work echoed Edward Norton in American History X and God said to a take yourself away from your land away from the place you were born away from your father’s house and go to a new land after starring in the slaughter rule the United States of Leland and Murder By Numbers briefly dating co-star Sandra bulock he rose to mainstream recognition as Noah Calhoun in the sleeper hit the notebook this tearjerker was even more in the Zeitgeist thanks to Gosling’s offscreen relationship with co-star Rachel McAdams would you just stay with me stay with you what for look at us we’re already fighting well that’s what we do we fight just as Noah and Ally get off on the wrong foot Gosling recalls him and McAdams bringing out the worst in each other on set yet it wasn’t long until they were a real life item accepting the MTV movie award for best kiss with another iconic smooch it was my pleasure thank you very much when Gosling’s next film stay bombed at the box office he Revisited the Indie scene as Dan Dunn and half Nelson Gosling played a teacher trying to keep a sharp young student away from the drug world we are sinners but we can strive to be good just not in nature itself I guess considering that Dunn himself has a substance issue he’s not exactly a role model but he still feels responsible for his students earning comparison to a young Marlin Brando Gosling won the Indie Spirit Award for best male lead I’ve been trying to make a movie like this for a long time and uh I really appreciate you letting me be a part of it I’m really proud to be a part of it thank you given the film’s minuscule budget and release some wondered if half Nelson would be on the Academy’s radar in something of a pleasant surprise Gosling received his first best actor Oscar nomination still being among the category’s 10 youngest nominees what’s the key piece of career advice you got that help you to stand here as an Oscar nominated actor oh man I mean I think you know my mother always told me uh you know if you’re making a decision for the money you’re making the wrong decision he worked with the category’s oldest winner Anthony Hopkins in the legal thriller fracture but Lars and the Real Girl showcased a completely different side of gosling channeling Jimmy Stewart and Harvey Gosling Unleashed his inner goofiness as a man who falls in love with a real doll at the same time Gosling infused the character with quiet sadness and sincerity making us care about Lars and his real girl Gosling was the real deal although his career slowed down before shining brighter than ever I was hoping the winter was over no it’s just a th win isn’t over till Easter part three you never shined so brightly Gosling was set to play a grieving father in The Lovely Bones despite gaining 60 lbs for the role Gosling was unfortunately fired and replaced with Mark Wahlberg because he never discussed his physical transformation with director Peter Jackson prior to filming I just showed up on set and I I’d gotten it wrong clearly but uh and then I was fat and unemployed Gosling took a three-year Hiatus from acting during this time his romantic relationship with McAdams officially ended Gosling remained in the public eye while the infamous hey girl meme set the internet Ablaze and brandished his mus musical talents as one half of the rock Duo Dead Man’s [Music] Bones returning to the screen Gosling rounded out 2010 playing a thinly veiled version of Robert Durst in all good things and Dean Pereira in Blue Valentine the latter contained possibly Gosling’s most heartbreaking performance as we see Dean dissolve from an optimistic Fool in Love to a shell who can’t preserve his marriage I don’t know what to do I don’t know what else to do tell me what to do tell me what to do I don’t know what to do tell me how I should be I don’t know although co-star Michelle Williams scored a Best Actress nomination Gosling’s absence from the best actor lineup was considered a major Oscar snub Gosling said he was actually relieved not to be nominated meaning his work on the campaign Trail was done there something you want to do like when I don’t know you’re so good at so many things you could do anything you wanted to do you’re good at everything that you do he continued to exhibit his range playing a lovable womanizer in Crazy Stupid Love A stoic driver in drive and a Shakespearean campaign manager in the Ides of March all within one year while only in the First Act of The Place Beyond the Pines this would be among Gosling’s most important projects marking the beginning of his romantic partnership with co-star Eva Mendes what are you doing now you got plans got to go home let me give you a ride following roles in Gangster Squad and only God forgives and a producing credit for white shadow Gosling made his directorial debut with 2014’s Lost River I just started shooting by myself over the course of a year with the camera and collecting images and then eventually like the actress came on board and we got so a little money and we had a crew and we were making the movie that same year Gosling and Mendes welcomed their first of two daughters becoming a father compelled Gosling to accept fewer dark roles between comedies like the big short and the nice guys he hosted SNL for the first time I was smiling and weeping tears of joy sir all right well now this misss me a little bit in 2016 Gosling reunited with co-star Emma Stone for the third time in la la land a modern musical in the nostalgic Spirit of Fred and ginger Gosling learned to tap dance and play piano as Sebastian Wilder his second Oscar nominated [Music] role heart although he didn’t win Gosling got to go on stage when La La Land won best picture for a few minutes the notorious mixup gave us many memeable moments but nothing tops the image of gosling giggling as the audience watched in horror the the way everyone was uh talking amongst themselves it felt like someone had had a heart attack or worse and it felt like some someone was in danger and then I found out that they just read the wrong name this photo sums up Gosling in a nutshell he takes his work seriously but isn’t afraid to laugh at himself or the industry after revisiting his silent yet strong side in Blade Runner 2049 first man and the grey man Gosling went all out on his silly side as Ken he decided to star in Barbie after he found his daughter’s Ken doll face down in the mud I texted it to Greta and I said I shall be your Ken for his story must be told before we continue be sure to subscribe to our
