Ryan Gosling Is Pressing Pause On His Acting Career
I wish was following that headline with the line "to focus on a new career in porn," but I unfortunately for all of us I'm not. The third greatest member of the new Mickey Mouse Club (after Deedee Magno and Chase Hampton) is going to take a break from working, because his ass is rich and he can take a long sabbatical and still expect money to spit out of the ATM when he enters his pin. Millionaire bitches and their breaks! Ryan tells the Associated Press that after he promotes all the movies he's already made and directs that movie with Christina Hendricks, he's just going to lie naked on his couch and watch court shows all day.
"I've been doing it too much. I've lost perspective on what I'm doing. I think it's good for me to take a break and reassess why I'm doing it and how I'm doing it. And I think this is probably a good way to learn about that. I need a break from myself as much as I imagine the audience does.
The more opportunities I'm given, the more I learn about how easy it is to (expletive) it up. You fight for freedom and then you get it, and then you have enough rope to hang yourself. It's like trying to exercise some restraint because I do have so much freedom."
Translation: "I should've never made that Gangster Squad piece of shit. It fucked up my swag."
I'd like to think that Ryan is going to spend his vacation selling jars of his dick sweat on Etsy or keeping a Tumblr diary of the daily adventures of his abs, but you know he's going to spend it boning that trick heffa Eva Mendes and feeding apples to his dog (not at the same time...I think).
Here's Ryan in NYC today walking around and peering into cars like he's buying the good shit or selling ass.

It was an interview! You guys are acting like he made some big "Public Statement." He said this stuff in the course of an interview and talking about his other projects. I suppose he could have kept it a secret, but then again, putting it out there gives people a reason why he will not be responding to their offers for a while. The journalist asked...

Why does he have to annouce it to the world as if anyone gives a shit? Sounds like a ploy to get some big studio to offer him a ton of money for a new film.
I blame it on the fact the younger people have social sites where you post/blog/tweet etc. every minute freakin detail about your day/life/thoughts.
whatever happened to just live your dam life and I'll see you on saturday and you can give me a 30 second roundup over drinks? There's no mystery about anything anymore. Intrigue and surprise are gone.

put the book in your bookbag, douchebag. Paris Hilton used to try that trick too
=========================
I have to stand up for him here. I like to read. As in, I like to read when I get a spare few seconds, and sometimes when I'm walking down the street. Sometimes, having the book out really is a sign that you can't stop reading, not that you're pretentious.
GEH. MEH. FEH. won't be missed by me.

I think the book is called "El Toro"... or something... for those who care....

'El Topo - the book of the film.'
Just FYI.
I don't understand the hate for this guy. I think he's a great actor who is genuinely thoughtful and intelligent. I've heard a bunch of interviews with him and he's always legitimately down-to-earth and grateful for the opportunities he's had. I thought he was excellent in Blue Valentine, Lars, Half-Nelson, and even Drive.

meh, he's a brown bagger anyways I won't miss his fugly mug.
For real.
Oh fuck right off, Ryan. The only way his comments could be more pretentious is if he used the word "craft."
But seriously, it's a tragedy that his job that pays more money than most of us will ever see is starting to lose its meaning for him. Even more tragic that he's working so damn much. Yes, take a break, you've worked too hard, I'm sure your parents and grandparents did that all the time as you grew up (I have no clue what his family does/did).
Hipster douche.
Damn, he looks great in those pix.
And glasses/book notwithstanding, he's always looked to me like he has more than a couple brain cells.

AAAWWW, whats wrong Ryan? Don't be gone too long. I'll miss you, you sexy thing.
Ya he's on my down to fuck list. Third place behind bruce willis and josh duhamel and right in front of joseph gordon leavitt
It's usually when actors take a "break" that they get into trouble; "idle hands are the Devils playground". I really dont see him falling by the wayside due to drugs or anything but I see him taking up some weird hipster hobby like knitting or reading crystals. Just don't knock up some trick *coughEvacough*, Ryan!

He's entering rehab

I can't say that I remember a single movie that he has been in. So, I won't be doing a slow wall slide at the news.

Slow wall slide - I love this expression and I can't wait to use it!
Ryan Gosling - eh, I guess I would but I'd rather not look at his face.
Loved him in The Notebook...so embarrassing.
I don't know why but I find him incredibly sexy, not good looking really, but sexy. Lars and the Real Girl, so good. Crazy Stupid Love, so super sexy. I work with a guy that looks a lot like him yet I don't find him sexy at all. Who knows.
He's getting better looking as he ages...

The problem with taking a break when you're on top is that you're easily forgotten. Somebody can easily take your place.
dunno what it is about him, ever since i saw him in Crazy Stupid Love he gets me tingly. ugly-sexy like Adrien Brody.
In an interview awhile back, Gosling said he'd make movies until he made babies. I wonder if the trick heffa (lol, MK) is knocked up.
I cannot stand when people pose with their armpits showing! It's disgusting!!!
That main pic is doing really bad things to my peen!
I never really saw him as good looking until this photo on the street. He seems to have grown into his looks. He also seems thoughtful and sane. I would!
Ryan, go sit in the corner with Goopy Paltrow. Then you guys can trade stories as to who is more pretentious.
He usually does nothing for me, but with glasses and holding a tattered old book - fuck yeah!
This man could get it sideways, backwards or however the fuck he wants. Yeah, Im thirsty as fuck
meh, he's a brown bagger anyways I won't miss his fugly mug.
He's pretty meh to me. I wish it would be Kristen Stewart saying this (and actually following thorugh) instead though.

Double YAWN.
Hey, nothing wrong with fucking off every so often. Now teach Bey, Kim and Goop.
Well at least one of Hollywood's bland leading men will no longer be shoved down our throats by the hype machine.
Must be nice.
I don't get the hate towards him ....seems like a low key normal guy to me. For an actor, anyway.
His blue Valentine character killed his hotness for me.
Might as well.
I echo Ecce Homo (say that fast, 5x!) I like Gosling bc he seems relatively self-aware and the time off actually sounds like a good idea but NO, I would NOT hit that.

i know some dlisters have the hotness for ryan.
but i find his body build way to weird, to much muscle on a little tiny frame.
his like popeye the sailor man.
which makes eva mendes olive, slutty olive with big tits.
No one cares. He's got the presence of cement. When Shiela LaBuff can give a more interesting performance than you, you know it's quitin' time.
I'm not familiar with his entire oeuvre. In fact, the only thing I know he was in is The Notebook, because some--I had to watch it.
There's something especially pared back about this post, MK, reminiscent of Hemingway. A burnt out hiptser actor who sells his arse to strangers in parked cars? Get thee an e-book. It could be a top-seller.
Somebody wants attention!

Bitch please, who are you kidding... right when you're at the peak of your career. I wish you would put your money where your mouth is. Don't be like Amanda Bynes.
