not to find Ryan Gosling attractive?

[ohhifruit]

I can't see it, I'm blind to the swooning.
Every woman I know fancies him like crazy but I don't get it.

Same goes for Brad Pitt. I'd rather mount a fridge.

[ShitOnAStick]

Yanbu. I don't think he's attractive at all. I actually think he's quite unattractive.

[LeafyGreen13]

I didn't get it then I saw him in that gangster film he was in and I could see the attraction. I can't remember the name of the film now but it had Sean Penn in it and the guy from The Goonies.

I am howling at Gnocchi head Gosling now

x post

He has potato connotations, clearly!

[Anatana]

He reminds me, for some reason, of a thick cut chip. A chippy chip not an oven chip.

[ohhifruit]

I am so glad to hear I'm not alone in my puzzlement when it comes to Gosling.
I'm crying with laughter re gnocchi QueenThora

[QueenThora]

I don't get it either. I don't know why but his face makes me think of a gnocchi (or whatever the singular of that is)

gnocchi

Gosling (and his siblings)

Squoosh, the description on that YouTube video is utterly brilliant.

[BunnyLebowski]

expat!

[AnAdventureInCakeAndWine]

Ryan Gosling was cast in The Notebook specifically as "not handsome" which is what they were looking for for the character. Clearly they had misjudged global tides of oestrogen...

[ReturnofSaturn]

Yanbu. I don't fancy him in the slightest,

[Echocave]

Expat I've just laughed at loud in a quiet cafe at that. And I am having a really crap day. Thank you!

[expatinscotland]

He's revolting. Body shape like a gorilla and head too small for his body.

[GinOnTwoWheels]

I don't know who he is and CBA to google, but similarly when everyone was lusting after Tom Cruise 10 to 20 years ago before we all knew that he was a nutcase I couldn't see the attraction of him either.

[GossamerHailfilter]

YANBU. He looks a bit wet IMO.

[doodahwhatsit]

YABU

but not about Brad Pitt

[akachan]

YABU!

[Lancashiregirl]

Nope, don't get Ryan either.

And what the heck has happened to George Clooney? Saw the first ropey picture of him the other day since his mullet hair Rosanne days. And in Gravity he looked like Buzz Lightyear (not sure if that's a good or bad thing).

[Amrapaali]

He has a goofy look about him. Not a fan either.

I like Ryan Reynolds though. Had a huge crush on him in that ancient sitcom. What was it called? Two guys and a pizza place?

[VillaVillekulla]

But the Gosling thing isn't so much about how he looks, is it? I'm sure I read somewhere that he nearly didn't get his first big break because the director wanted a good looking actor and he didn't fit the bill. I don't think he's especially swoonsome just in terms of his facial features. It's more about the characters he plays, how he comes across in interviews, a certain self-contained, inner confidence and calm he brings to his roles....
YANBU obviously - each to their own and all that.

[isitme1]

Just googled him.
oh definitely not my type of guy

[squoosh]

Now Ryan Reynolds I really don't get!

[squoosh]

I like Ryan Gosling but it isn't all about the looks as he does look a bit like Nicholas Lyndhurst. However he's witty and clever and great actor and he .

[BunnyLebowski]

I don't get it either.

He has horrible tiny beady eyes. Makes me think of

And he's only an average actor.

[seasalt]

YANBU don't fancy him or Brad Pitt at all. I thought she should have stayed with James Marsden in The Notebook - he is gorgeous and he can sing!
