In honor of "The Nice Guys" opening this weekend, I thought it was only appropriate to share a few kind words about Ryan Gosling. This is strictly a Ryan Gosling appreciation post. We all know Gosling to be aesthetically pleasing to watch, which means we really love watching him on the big screen. Some will argue that he’s not all that great, but let’s be honest, his charisma makes it hard to not love him. I want to take it back and share a few of the greatest moments he’s graced us with:
1. "Mickey Mouse Club" Ryan
You probably don’t remember him on the Mickey Mouse Club, because I sure don’t. But look at him dance. I can’t help but gush over this video.
2. "Saturday Night Live" Ryan
Remember him on "SNL?" He absolutely killed it during his hosting gig on December 2015. But watching him play an elf was probably the best part of all the skits, other than watching him hold his laugher in to avoid breaking character.
3. "Jimmy Kimmel" appearance
How about his recent appearance on "Jimmy Kimmel?" I could not help but swoon. Remember I told you he had charisma? This appearance proved my point.
4. The Big Short
Although dark hair isn’t his strongest suit, his appearance in "The Big Short" as banker Jared Vennett was appreciated. I mean, who better to narrate a film?
5. Talking about his daughters
How about the time he gushed over his daughters and wife during an interview on "Good Morning America." When asked about the women to man ratio in his home he said, "It’s heaven. It’s like walking through a field of flowers every day. I live with angels.” I mean, could his answer be anymore perfect?
6. “Hey Girl” memes
Ryan Gosling finally cleared the air about his “Hey Girl” memes we have all seen circulate the internet. He admit he never even used those words and is unsure where it all started.
7. When he rescued a puppy
There was also that one time Gosling pulled over after he spotted a four-legged cutie in the middle of a busy road. Let’s just call him “Ryan, the dog rescuer.”
8. "The Notebook"
Let’s not forget the moment we all fell in love with him as Noah Calhoun, and dreamt one day he would build a home for the two of us.
9. Shirtless scenes
Or the time he had numerous shirtless scenes in "Crazy, Stupid, Love." And Emma Stone said what we were all thinking about his abs.
10. Ugly Mustache
Let’s admit, that mustache he was rocking during the period of filming "The Nice Guys" is probably everyone’s least favorite. RIP groovy mustache, please don’t come back. You are not missed.
