Ryan Gosling never fails to leave his charm in whichever movie he appears in. Over the years, he has gained immense fame and has become one of the most beloved actors in Hollywood. The actor started off his career by starring in some independent films. The Notebook film became the breakthrough in his career in Hollywood.

Ryan Gosling Details Crazy, Stupid, Love Role Preparation
It’s undeniable, that Ryan Gosling has been blessed with good looks and acting traits. He always brings his best performance onscreen and masters the role he is assigned. In a past interview, he revealed his preparation for the role of Jacob Palmer in Crazy, Stupid, Love. He explained how he worked on his physique and read books on impressing women. Even after following the book’s rules, his character didn’t end up being happy.
“I started reading all these men’s magazines, trying to follow all the tips: what you’re supposed to wear, what you’re supposed to have, things you’re supposed to say, and all the exercises you’re supposed to do. I thought this character is someone who follows all these tips to the letter of the law, and yet he wasn’t happy.”
One thing about the film that didn’t sit well with Gosling was when his character was asked to hit on women. It was kind of challenging for his character to pick up girls and confront the “bar-like situations”.
“It was embarrassing. Because they would just sort of, you know, set up the shot and then say go hit on her. And then, it would be totally quiet, and I’d have to go in and start kicking it to some poor girl in the worst possible way.”
Gosling wasn’t really fond of going upfront and saying pickup lines to a girl, that’s the most challenging thing he faced in that part of the movie.

“He’s so genuinely funny and such a good…I keep calling him teammate, but he is! He’s a good teammate. He’s really fun to act with and hang out with. He’s just…I dunno. He’s the best!”
