Young Ryan Gosling Photos to Feed Your 2000s Nostalgia
On his 43rd birthday, we honor our favorite Ken by looking back at young Ryan Gosling photos from his early career days.
It's safe to say that Ryan Gosling has long been a movie-star heartthrob. While he has been in the industry since his Disney days as a young Ryan Gosling in The Mickey Mouse Club, it was his role as Noah Calhoun in the passionate romance movie, The Notebook, in 2004 that brought him into the spotlight as a critically acclaimed actor and irresistible love interest (we're looking at you, MTV Movie Award for Best Kiss with Rachel McAdams.)
From there, Gosling flexed his skills beyond romance to drama and comedy, from a troubled middle school teacher in Half Nelson (2006) to the carefree womanizer in Crazy, Stupid, Love (2011). What soon became clear was his knack for playing everyone's favorite boyfriends, with his role as struggling musician Sebastian in La La Land even earning him a Golden Globe Award and an Academy Award nomination in 2017.
Now, as his most recent film, Barbie, plays on repeat in our living rooms we can't help but feel envious of Barbie's dreamy boyfriend. While we may not be able to call Gosling ours, we do have 26 must-see photos of young Ryan Gosling to fuel all those crushes. In honor of his birthday, we look back at his young early career days.
