Ryan Thomas Gosling born in London Ontario on November 12th 1980. Raised in Corwall, Ontario his father Thomas Gosling a paper mill worker and his mother Donna a secretary who also qualified as a high school teacher in 2011. Growing up his parents were Mormons. Ryan say's about his parents being Mormon "it was a part of everything - what they ate, how they thought".
His parents divorced when he was a child and he and his older sister, Mandi, were raised by their mother, an experience Gosling has credited with programming him "to think like a girl."
Ryan was bullied in elementary school and had "no pals" "not in a sad,'poor me' way. I didn't want any. I liked being alone. It was only when I was 14,15 I got friends." "I hated being a kid. I didn't like being told what to do, I didn't like my body, I didn't like any of it."

His mother quit her job and home schooled him for a year. Ryan said that homeschooling gave him "a sense of autonomy that I've never really lost"

Ryan stars in the ever popular chick-flick The Notebook. I hate to admit it but I did like the movie and have heard many complaints (from the ladies) that Ryan should have been sexiest man of the year/alive in 2011.
Other movies I liked him in are Remember the Titans,Murder by Numbers and The United States of Leland.
