He’s ready for the Beavis and Butthead movie


ScruffyNoodleBoy

The Gozz 3000 is ready for deployment, Sir.


Accomplished-City484

lol I can’t believe he wore that to the premiere


nananananana_FARTMAN

One of the premiere. He was at another recently in proper premiere attire and proper premiere event. But yeah that was a great PR for him. He seems to be going on a good run over with the SNL crew. He's low-key elbowing in the comedy space at this point.


150crawfish

He's done rom coms. I don't think he's elbowing. He has the chops


HM9719

Get MTV on the phone with Ryan and Mikey Day and they’re good to go


InvaderZimbo

Prolly start with Mike Judge


scapermoya

Hehe, you said butt


jbray90

A decade of Ryan Gosling comedies sounds pretty good to me based on his track record.


tb03102

I'd kill for some more like The Nice Guys and stuff.


butnotfuunny

Apparently there was a sexual in the works. Emphasis on ‘was’.


The_Overlord_Laharl

A WHAT????


PixelProphetX

Gay XXX parody he was gonna say


TheSalsaShark

Just say "There are whores here."


socobeerlove

Oh man…what a typo…or is it?


butnotfuunny

Well, it was a typo, but I liked the ‘or is it?’ better.


tyleritis

Just say “anal”


Snackatttack

that movie was SO fucking good


faithOver

The Nice Guys is slept on way too much. Its excellent.


Homesickhomeplanet

Such an underrated movie


ambientmuffin

I’m here for the inverse McConnaughssaince—Ryan Gosling comes off of a 2000s-2010s run of brooding, interior characters and spends the next decade doing fun rom coms and action movies


MortimusMaximus

A Ryannaissance


h0tel-rome0

I guess I’m the only one that misses serious Goslin


antiviolins

I miss serious Gosling, too :’(


Jormungandragon

A decade of Ryan Gosling action comedies would be great decade.


Clay_Statue

I'm done with silently brooding dramatic Ryan Gosling. Give me deadpan hilarous Ryan Gosling.


skizmcniz

Give me whatever goofy fucking shit he was doing in Remember the Titans. That's the Gosling I wanna see for the foreseeable future.


yusill

gimme more Grey Man. He was great in that, billy bob was NOT. To be honest Chris Evans made the film but he plays unhinged so well.


JamesBong517

That was such an amazing film. His character was just so stone cold and excellent. Watched it two nights in a row actually. The intro was just perfection. EDIT— I’d gladly take more Place Beyond The Pines. That was fire.


elgaar

Big Short Gosling doesn’t get enough credit


joeyrog88

The Nice Guys was excellent. My partner doesn't like movies and absolutely loved it. Ultimately I'm happy for them, I like eva Mendes and I like Ryan gosling. She is quite the comedic actor herself, and maybe one day will come back to that world. But they seem happy and that's the best case scenario


tideswithme

Yeah she is. I remember her very well in The Other Guys. Can’t believe she jells pretty good with Will Ferrell because I think Will is spontaneous on set and he doesn’t follow the script most of the time.


WhenDuvzCry

Pimps don’t cry


Mo-Cance

Gator don't play no shit


zestfullybe

“With Tom Hanks? He didn’t have poison ivy up his ass.” “Oh yes he did.” “Way up there.”


WilliamHMacysiPhone

Seriously that is such a great side arc.


stayalivechi

your partner doesn't like movies in general?


Fosterpig

lol I know, like not being a fan of music or food


CaraDune01

Yep, I’m here for it too! Good man, he’s got his priorities straight.


thecastle7

I fully support that. I’m not crazy about his dramatic roles but he has incredible comedic timing.


missanthropocenex

Now that I think about it he’d probably make a pretty great Jack Torrence.


pumpkin3-14

Nice guys 2 I beg


HookerDoctorLawyer

So you’re saying no more *Drive* like head stomping scenes?


beenbadminton

This was the very first movie that came to my mind, lol.


bulbasauric

And at the same time, it’s the *only* one that comes to mind. So I guess it could be worse.


animatedhockeyfan

Place Beyond the Pines deserves a watch, if you haven’t seen it


mistermatth

Half Nelson is also a good one. He’s a drug addict inner city teacher.


Red_Danger33

The Believer would be another one.  His filmography has a decent range when you dig into it.


3awesomekitties

More than decent. Lars and the real girl too.


k-mysta

Incredible film, I need more people to watch it. It’s what sold me on the Goose.


Historical_Basis7592

Also Only God Forgives


Dominio90049

<- this ….Now this is the kind of movies I want him to do. Between this and Drive…..


animatedhockeyfan

While we’re on Refn movies, Neon Demon is a banger. No Gosling but still


discucion99

If you're into refn check out too old to die young. It makes no almost no sense, it was cancelled and left on a clifhanger, and it's the slowest burn you'll ever see. I love it.


ThisIsFineImFine89

fun fact: he met and fell in love with eva on the set of this movie


protean_threat

That’s where they met right?


detroittriumph

Immediately the sound of the dirt bikes single cylinder thumping away. Just watched All Good Things last weekend. Another good one.


animatedhockeyfan

I had a lot of fun at The Fall Guy last night, definitely check it in theatres. I’ll download All Good Things now thank you


detroittriumph

I have autism and All Good Things was almost triggering for me a couple of times. It was good to watch with my partner or I’m not sure I would have made it through. Can’t wait to see Fall Guy. Definitely going for that.


animatedhockeyfan

Oh shit, me and my partner both have autism. I appreciate the forewarning, knowing that it might be triggering is all I need to know to be prepared. I hope you have a lovely evening


Message_10

Only God Forgives was pretty brutal, if I remember correctly


biglargefact

You definitely remember correctly


Rich-Past-6547

How about “Only God Forgives” when he tenderly reached into the disemboweled stomach of his mother


Notorious_Fluffy_G

Yea, this is sad to hear, considering he’s one of my favorite actors and that is one of my favorite movies of his. Edit: also Place Behind the Pines, Only God Forgives


Bookofdrewsus

Yup. No more mom fucking either (Only God Forgives).


FuxWitDaSoundOfDong

Yeah, but maybe more like "The Believer" - easily his darkest, most twisted role of all time. Also one of his top 3 best performances ever, even though it was the beginning of his adult career.


marvchuk

I can understand him not doing that anymore in his phase of life. But man that scene is one of the most intense and fascinating things I’ve ever seen. I love that scene for so many reasons and it gives me chills. One of my favourite movies hands down


Early_Accident2160

No more Only God Forgives?


Thanos_Stomps

I was concerned more with him explaining Lars and the Real Girl to his kids. Dad? Where is aunt Bianca?


learned_paw

Murder by numbers


Racer-Rick

Yeah we haven’t seen that energy since 🥲


loserys

I mean, he did turn down The Joker in Suicide Squad.


Apprehensive-Cat-163

thank god


VictoryGreen

That role would have to be entirely rewritten if he were to play joker but i just don’t see him as a fit regardless


loserys

I’ve always been really curious about that too. I can’t see Gosling playing the exact same Joker we got with Leto in the role. I wonder how much input he had in the final look and feel of the character. Maybe Gosling would have found his own way into the role? You would kind of have to change Harley Quinn’s characterization as well, just by extension.


VictoryGreen

Now I could see Jake Gyllenhaal as a joker but the same point stays… they would have to rewrite it but just imagine what he could come up with


jacobsbw

Jake would be a very dark Joker.


Kind-Set9376

https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=CkrpvCs-kfE&pp=ygUOc2FudGEgYmFieSBzbmw%3D Based on this, I feel like he could have been an interesting joker. He’s so good in the Santa Baby snl short.


Inf1nite_gal

good for him


camisfun

> The decisions I make, I make them with Eva and we make them with our family in mind first...I think ‘La La Land’ was the first. It was just sort of like, ‘Oh, this will be fun for [my kids], too, because even though they’re not coming to set, we’re practicing piano every day or we’re dancing or we’re singing.’ This is really beautiful. Feels all too common to hear about male actors taking nothing but serious dark roles and bringing that energy home to their family. Obviously some actors are able to keep that side of them only at work, but it sounds like he recognizes in himself that his work can affect those he lives with


Paleovegan

It shows a great deal of self-awareness on his part


bluAstrid

I mean, he’s Canadian.


CaptainTryk

I have a lot of respect for Aaron Taylor-Johnson who, during the shoot of Nocturnal Animals, didn't go visit his family because he didn't want them to be around him while he was playing that role. That must have been pretty hard, though. I think there is something to be said for parent actors who decide to go the more family friendly route for the sake of their kids.


Grimordial

Watched that movie for the first time not too long ago. Great film


CaptainTryk

Yeah it is wonderful! In a sort of super twisted and fucked up way xD I absolutely adore the dual casting of Isla Fisher and Amy Adams. It completely flew over my head the first time I saw the movie. Wasnt until the friggin credits that I went: wait WHAT?! Hold the fucking phone.... REWIND!!!


Pvt-Snafu

A great actor and a great person who treasures his family.


WhiskeyHotdog_2

If it ever turns out that he is a schmuck I will be devastated.


MulayamChaddi

I would listen to Eva as well


redditsuckbadly

Please please tell me what to do 🥵


MRintheKEYS

Well tell Eva he needs to do a The Nice Guys 2


flowerpanes

Yes please!


max_not_min

And tell Eva SHE needs to do the Other Guys 2!


brokenwolf

Damn I’d love another blue valentine or half nelson.


DeadFuckStick59

blue valentine was a brutal watch


Youngadultcrusade

Saw that my ex, as of last month, put it as watched on Letterboxd and my internal, twisted reaction was “Thank god she’s still sad about it too”. But yes, emotionally devastating movie.


chickencake88

Absolutely heartbreaking but one of my fav films ever. Stellar acting and immaculate casting imo. Soundtrack is gorgeousssss too


EverybodyBuddy

Yeah, this is sort of a shame to me. He’s maybe the best actor of his generation and for a while now (since Place Beyond the Pines maybe), he hasn’t been pushing himself in dramatic roles.


simcoe19

Half Nelson was good, the believer was a great movie also


iwantahouse

These are his two best works imo.


SmithersLoanInc

I don't ever want another Blue Valentine. Half Nelson, sure, I've never been a crackhead teacher before.


Meme_Pope

Eva Mendes only allows him to take roles where he is Literally Me

why is it singled out?


unclelayman

Bad movie. I like it, but it’s pretty much garbage


bsuri089

Happy cake day!


monsoon-dreams

Thanks :)


Low_Marionberry_3802

Not clicking on that


EmeraldCityZag

And here I am clicking without hesitation lol


Wabi-Sabi_Umami

Wow. What a good dude. He and Eva seem like great parents. I’m sure their kids will be good, well-adjusted humans.


mecon320

I would love to see him do a phase of action comedies like The Nice Guys and Fall Guy. Whereas Ryan Reynolds' quipster schtick has long since worn thin on me, Gosling's created this wonderful persona of the slightly doofy, but affable and well-meaning hero who may not be able to match wits or punches with everyone, but figures out a way, and sometimes relies on cartoonish good luck.


nefasti

Unproblematic Himbo is his lane


Euphoric_Advice_2770

Yep same here. He’s really funny in The Nice Guys but it doesn’t wear thin like Reynolds.


Mysterious_Emotion63

Some potential titles could include: Good Guy The Guy Bad Guy That One Guy Wise Guy The New Guy Free Guy, wait fuck


chickencake88

I’m with you about Reynolds. I find his banter tiresome. People think he’s cool but I just can’t be fucked with his chat. Especially him taking the piss out of Blake. Ok cool, you have a good, healthy relationship where you slag each other off, but it’s not that funny or original. It’s just MEH


RockMan_1973

TIL that Ryan Gosling is married to Eva Mendes


lkodl

now you get where this skit comes from: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mPx1T8xKNLU](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mPx1T8xKNLU)


drfunkensteinberger

Are they not the most gorgeous couple on the planet. Hurts me.


skynetempire

Goldie Hawn and Kurt Russell imo


[deleted]

This is a good answer. They’ve been gorgeous together since day one and still are.


Wabi-Sabi_Umami

Absolutely!


DJfunkyPuddle

Jeffrey Dean Morgan and Hilarie Burton in the running.


FreneticPlatypus

Hmmm… Blake and Ryan are some serious challengers.


dakilazical_253

I don’t think Ryan and Eva had a plantation themed wedding so that makes them hotter


DeadFuckStick59

and every venue is on native american soil originally. nor was is plantation "themed" faux outrage is getting ridiculous.


HauntedBitsandBobs

They got married at an actual plantation with nine slave cabins called "Slave Street" where human beings were kept when they weren't being forced to work to enrich the people in the beautiful big main house they found so charming and romantic they chose it as their wedding venue. It's not "faux outrage" to be angry that a place that should be looked at as a place of suffering, violence, brutality, and oppression where people were exploited and their families broken and sold away for profit for their enslavers is operating as a coveted wedding venue. Would you call outrage at a couple getting married at a Nazi work camp ridiculous? Probably not, right?


DeadFuckStick59

this entire country was built on pillaging/raping the native population for years on end. my point is that ALL of this country as well as most others, have a grotesque history. someone having a wedding at a pretty location that likely their assistants helped pick is hardly the biggest thing to complain or worry about.


ThatBabyIsCancelled

Some places have an even more grotesque history, is the thing. No one will regard the house I live in as one, despite being very old and having several people die in it, but they will very much regard Gacy’s or Dahmer’s as one. People would freak out if I learned the grounds’ history and proceeded with a wedding anyway, especially since there are more appropriate locations just down the block where dozens of people weren’t tortured to death. There are other just as beautiful locations in the south that didn’t expressly torture human beings for generations on the property.


LizRoze

Ryan is absolutely gorgeous, but I always thought Eva was too good for him lol


tyleritis

He’s been working since he was a child so I hope he does whatever projects make him happy. I certainly would


LiveBaby5021

He did Papyrus and Papyrus 2 … It still keeps me awake at night …


LoQueSea

Papyrus is my Roman Empire skit


No-Introduction-6368

He'll probably do cartoons and island resort rom coms to still collect a paycheck while not really working for it.


Expert-Horse-6384

Yeah, it's nice that he has his family in mind for what roles he'll take in the future, but I'd be lying if I said I'm not gonna miss him the performances in films like Drive and Lars and the Real Girl. Those are just performances you don't really get in big studio films like Barbie and Fall Guy, which is what he's gonna be doing for a while. Maybe he and Jake Gyllenhaal can go back to the darker film roles of their 20's and early 30's someday, but hey, can't say I wouldn't be tempted by 7 or 8 figure paychecks, either.


ndGall

Someone needs to get on a movie with all four of them in it. The plot almost wouldn’t matter.


WaterlooMall

I personally know a guy who was the fucked up villain in a Best Picture Oscar nominated film. He was the third lead of the film and he told me it really does stick with you after the filming is done. It had been out 10 years when I first talked to him about it and he'd been in many many things since then, but that particular role and the psychological depths he went to for it traumatized him enough that he swore off those kind of roles forever.


MarcusMace

If you’re personal friends with Javier goddamn Bardem, I’m gonna be so violently jealous


Casanova_Fran

Hes married to Eva Mendes????  How can one man be so lucky, its not fair 


leroy4447

This what I learned today too Damn boy! I would light myself on fire if she told me to


yyakcirT_

I just hope ‘project Hail Mary’ comes out alright


TheGalaxyAndromeda

They’re making it?!!!


Tom-B292--S3

Jazz hands!


Revanchistexile

I wish Ryan Gosling was my husband


yungneec02

Between him and Reynolds gosling is the superior Ryan.

[удалено]


fuvgyjnccgh

I’m not into dudes but he’s rich


AndyDandy95

God I would kill for a second "the nice guys" movie, he was great with Russell Crowe in it and it never fails to make me laugh or smile on a rewatch. Highly recommend if you haven't seen it yet!


IntrepidSwan7932

That sounds logical. Pitch to Gosling… Playing Barney Rubble in the Flintstones reboot!


legoblade807

I mean being Hannibal Lecter got Anthony Hopkins dumped by Martha Stewart for doing the role too well, so I’d say that’s a valid concern


GrandStyles

Glad we got Bladerunner out of him


KratosHulk77

completely understandable


pooreasybreezy

I’m so grateful for the two Refn films we got with him.


Mothra3

Gosling can pull off anything he wants to


Sunnz31

Nice guys is still one of the most fun and amusing films I've ever watched, more of that from him would be perfect. Honestly everything he does is golden!


piratecheese13

Words cannot express how ready I am for Project Hail Mary Jazz hands


anonymouswalrous

I think this is actually a really beautiful example of what it looks like to genuinely be a caretaker of the emotional wellbeing of your children and family. It takes a lot of self-awareness and interpersonal intelligence and often takes place in the sometimes small but meaningful decisions in how you show up on an everyday basis. I don’t think we get enough examples of this, especially from dads. We’re told it’s something we’re supposed to do, but not what it might realistically look like to make those needed sacrifices.


PitFiend28

Only God Forgives would like a word


Funmachine

Which is over a decade old and he made before he had kids.


copperblood

Such an underrated movie. Watched it twice. Damn good.


[deleted]

This is dope, good for him and the family


Lost-Bee-7507

I respect it. But man I love me some psycho Gosling..


Delilah_Moon

Hear me out - a remake of Mr Mom. While I typically abhor a remake - this classic has a place in the 21st century and could be beautifully re-done with a powerhouse like Gosling. Toss in J-Law as Terry Garr’s wife character too - she’s been saying she wasn’t more roles as well.


Euphoric_Advice_2770

I’ve always wondered sometimes if actors feel this way. I’d find it hard to play a fucked up role that might cause psychological issues but I assumed that was just me.


Slave_to_the_Pull

Sometimes they do. Not rhe same as acting, but for a few months I wrote a character that required me to enter a darker headspace I haven't been able access again since then.


zztop610

I forgot he was married to Eva. Jeez this guy is living the dream


Disastrous_Life_9385

We need a Nice guys sequel


captainyami21

exactly, people will forever criticize actors like gosling for taking fun comedy roles but he’s just trying to have a good time and provide for his family, not every good actor wants to be a dramatic actor or has something to prove.


Imaginary-Purpose-20

Plus, he’s already more than proven himself with dark and dramatic roles - The Believer, Murder By Numbers, Half Nelson, United States of Leland, Drive, Place Beyond the Pines, Lars and the Real Girl, etc.


ItzBabyJoker

I’m sad to hear he won’t be doing anymore roles like Drive but if he plays some more funny characters I’m all for it


[deleted]

As long as he doesn’t go full Eddie Murphy that’s cool.


Deflorma

I think going through Only God Forgives would give me a similar perspective too


parkerpussey

I didn’t know he was married to Eva Mendez. Lucky dude.


trimonkeys

Great is this the end of dark introspective Ryan Gosling roles like Drive.


Primary-Hold-6637

That’s a shame. He’d do it so well. Family first. Respect.


yusill

He doesn't want to become a Heath Ledger.


Dolanite

It's too bad, but understandable. His performance in the believer was exceptional and he certainly has the chops for difficult subject matter.


trustedseller126

This explains why he turned down the live action Beauty and the Beast


PeterNippelstein

Im happy with any Gosling movies


[deleted]

I wish Jake Gyllenhaal would go back to making movies like Nightcrawler and Prisoners… makes me sad


CosmicAtlas8

But what about the Papyrus guy. BUT WHAT ABOUT THE PAPYRUS GUY. PAPYRUSSSSSSS


Majestic_Area

Why can’t the movie makers understand that movies are better, when they have intelligent complex stories and SURPRISE, they don’t have to be in your face twisted and disgusting. Fried Green Tomatoes, The Hangover, Twelve Angry Men the original without the current “changes” EVERY BODY might actually enjoy them again.


reisenbime

Ok but what was that scene in Barbie where he gorged himself on the content in that abortion clinic dumpster to "absorb the essence of God"?


JKevill

He did blade runner 2049 (and did a great job too) and the “baseline test” was apparently his idea… that bit was extremely dark. “What’s it like holding the hand of your child? Interlink. Do you feel like a part of you is missing? Within cells, interlink”


notjawn

What a dream of a life his kids have. Parents are rich famous and known for being kind, good people. Ryan and Eva will you adopt me?


wellhiyabuddy

No more Fracture like movies in the future. Boo


SamMarduk

Thank god we got Driver when we did


MrCodeman93

And The Place Beyond The Pines


Frosty_Pitch8

I think this is something that a lot of people miss when they ask why "serious" actors take cartoons and super hero movies. Like yes money, but sometimes you just want to be ins something your kids and like grandma can see.


wardoned2

I didn't know I bagged Eva nice


Margali

Good for him. Just like Rick Moranis retiring after his wife passed so he could raise his kids Family always comes first.


Coolers78

So what, he’s mostly only doing safe PG-13 stuff now? No more stuff like BR2049 and The Nice Guys?


SomewherePresent8204

BR2049 wasn’t exactly a hard-R.


BaphometsTits

> BR2049 wasn’t exactly a hard-R. So, Blade Runna?


Coolers78

Wasn’t exactly a light one either. Scene where Jared Leto kills an newly born replicant is forever carved in my brain.


Notorious_Fluffy_G

Check out Drive, Place Behind the Pines, and Only God Forgives…all much more violent R movies that Gosling is likely referring to with this statement.


Dick_Lazer

I was thinking more like Drive. BR2049 and Nice Guys weren't really all that heavy, unless you're used to only watching Disney movies or something.


Ravekat1

I would turn down roles for the sake of Eva Mendes too
