Ryan Gosling Wiki, Biography, Net Worth, Career, Wife, Girlfriend, and Children

Ryan Gosling is a Canadian actor from London, Ontario, Canada. His mother is Donna Wilson, and his father is Thomas Ray Gosling, a salesman. Ryan Gosling was their second kid; his elder sister, Mandi, was their first. His family tree includes not just French-Canadian but also English, Scottish, and Irish branches. Ryan Gosling grew raised in Cornwall, Ontario, with his family and was educated at home by his mother. In Cornwall, he attended Gladstone Public School, Cornwall Collegiate, and Cornwall Vocational High School, where he was a standout performer and student of the arts. When Ryan Gosling was a teenager, his family moved to Burlington, Ontario, where he enrolled at Lester B. Pearson High School.

Not only is Ryan Gosling a household name in arthouse cinema, but he has also starred in many genre-spanning blockbusters that have earned over $1.9 billion at the box office globally. He has been recognized for his work with many awards, including the Golden Globe, the Academy Award, and the British Academy Film Award.

Ryan Gosling’s first forays into the spotlight came when he and Mandi entered talent shows. In January 1993, he went to an open audition for the TV series “The Mickey Mouse Club” (The All New Mickey Mouse Club (1989)) in Montreal, Quebec, and was cast in the program. For the duration of his two years on “MMC,” he was hosted by Justin Timberlake’s family.

After “MMC,” Ryan Gosling transitioned into acting, appearing on TV’s Young Hercules (1998) and Breaker High (1997) and in films like The Slaughter Rule (2002), Murder by Numbers (2002), and Remember the Titans (2003) despite having no prior experience in the field (2000). In the controversial film The Believer (2001), for which he received the Grand Jury Prize at the 2001 Sundance Film Festival, he initially garnered considerable critical notice for his portrayal of a Jewish neo-Nazi. Henry Bean, the film’s writer and director, hired him in the role because he felt that Ryan Gosling’s own religious background prepared him to empathize with Danny, whose obsession with the Judaism he was born into leads to hate. He received a Golden Aries award from the Russian Guild of Film Critics and a nomination for an Independent Spirit Award for Best Male Lead in 2002 for the performance.

In 2004, after starring in the sleeper hit The Notebook (2004), Ryan Gosling had the unfortunate distinction of being named one of People magazine’s 50 Hottest Bachelors. And most importantly, the movie distributors at the 2004 Show West conference voted him the Next Big Thing in Male Star Power.

In Half Nelson (2006), Ryan Gosling had a career-defining performance that earned him an Oscar nomination for Best Actor. In a very short amount of time, he has become one of the best performers of his day. Blue Valentine (2010), Crazy, Stupid, Love. (2011), Drive (2011), The Ides of March (2011), The Place Beyond the Pines (2012), The Nice Guys (2016), and La La Land (2018) are just some of the films he has led in over the past decade, during which he has become an internet obsession, box office star, and critical darling (2016). The highly anticipated science fiction sequel Blade Runner 2049 (2017), in which he co-starred alongside Harrison Ford, was released in 2017.
