When I first glanced at this photo (^above^), I thought the photo agency had chanced upon an actual photo shoot of Ryan Gosling. But it’s a candid photo – that’s how hot he is. He makes a sweaty appearance outside of The Late Show look like a photo shoot! This is why he is The Gosdong. But seriously, can this boy wear the hell out of a Gucci suit or what? He’s like the second coming of Ocean’s Eleven. No wonder George Clooney likes him so much.

Here’s a clip of Gosling appearance last night on The Late Show – this is fantastic Peter O’Toole story!

Ryan also talked about his short-lived tenure on The Mickey Mouse Club. I give him credit for not being too important or too full of himself here – he talks about it openly, which I wouldn’t be able to do. When asked how he got on, Gosling told Letterman, “I auditioned… All the girls in my class were auditioning so I did too and somehow I got on and then when they hired me they realized that I couldn’t really dance or sing and I wasn’t talented so they stopped using me on the show.” He also talked about New York women, saying: “Some of the prettiest women I have ever seen in my life live here, also because it’s so hot they appear to you like some kind of mirage and they are all screaming into their cell phones… I passed by a girl the other day and she was saying ‘I know, I know, I should have just given him a cigarette for a banana and I could be in Dubai right now’.” SO cute.
