Ryan Gosling grew up in an extremely religious Mormon home to which, he says contributed greatly to who he is today.
Ryan's parents divorced leaving him and his two siblings to live with his mother.
Ryan had a hard time in school with other children and therefore was home-schooled by his mother.
Gosling had been a part of a couple television series such as The Mickey Mouse Club, but he was really only known in and around Canada.
Ryan started building a name for himself in the US after doing a couple television series and then on to the films: The Slaughter Rule, Murder By Numbers, and Remember The Titans.
Being noticed by Hollywood already, he had become considerably more well-known when he starred in the movie The Believer, which got him nominated for several awards.
When I, and probably most of America think of Ryan Gosling the most memorable move he has done is The Notebook.
He acted along side Rachel McAdams that as a result of the movie had become his long time girlfriend.
It was one of the most beautiful love stories ever to grace the silver screen.
The success Ryan had seen thus far was tremendous, but his career skyrocketed with his performance in the movie Half Nelson, earning him an Academy Award nomination as Best Actor.
Ryan has since been concentrating on his acting, music, and other various projects and ventures he is a part of.
Anything Ryan Gosling can't achieve? Being an Academy Award Nominee, an accomplished jazz guitarist, as well as releasing a song titled "Put Me In The Car", I would say he has all the bases covered.
Everyone should expect to see much more from this multi-talented young man in the future.
