Leading Man

Whether they’re starring in popular franchise films or critically acclaimed dramas, these Hollywood actors have made names for themselves. They have earned many awards and accolades over the years. We shine our Hollywood Spotlight on Ryan Gosling and his career achievements.

While he has achieved great success in his career, Gosling is not yet an Oscar winner. He has a lot of talent and is still very young, so there’s no doubt that he will win an Oscar someday in the future.

Personal Life

As a youngster, Gosling was obsessed with films and influenced by Dick Tracy, as well as the Sylvester Stallone action film First Blood. He was bullied in school and had trouble making friends; he also suffered from attention deficit hyperactivity disorder. His mother home-schooled him to help him focus on acting.

After the success of Half Nelson and Lars and the Real Girl, Gosling proved he could be more than just a brooding heartthrob with his performances in Blue Valentine (2010) and Drive (2011). He then starred in a series of dramas and thrillers before he made his directorial debut with Lost River (2014).

The actor has continued to star in a range of projects, including the musical La La Land (2016) and the biopic First Man (2018).
