to not get what the big deal is with Ryan Gosling?

Watching Murder by Numbers looking like this --> Confused anytime Sandra Bullock says the main suspect is 'the cutest guy she's ever seen' then at the end I see it's Ryan Gosling.

I've seen loads of references to him in books and RL being 'hot' but to me he's really average looking and his eyes are far too close together

I know he's got a reputation for being a lovely guy but surely all the hype can't just be because he's famous and nice?

AIBU to not get what the big deal is?

Yes, I definitely prefer beardy, cardigan-wearing Gosling (à la Half Nelson) to ripped, fake-tanned Gosling (à la Crazy Stupid Love).

Definitely would either way, though

AmysTiara · 28/01/2015 09:20

No I don't find him attractive either. I don't find Channing or Ryan Reynolds good looking or Bradley Cooper.

OnlyLovers · 28/01/2015 09:29

Bradley Cooper looks like Barry Manilow. He can't act either. God I HATED him in Silver Linings Shitbook.

ihatethecold · 28/01/2015 09:34

Me too only
Crap film.
He's good in American Hustle though.

I think watching Crazy, stupid love did it for me. He looks bloody amazing in that film.

ghostyslovesheep · 28/01/2015 09:48

Silver linings shitbook is a great name for it! Awful film

I did like crazy stupid love though - although I fell more in love with Emma stone in that than RG

I always thought Channing Tatum was just a meat head with no personality, all muscles no substance, and that his face looked like a potato. But then I saw him in a few interviews and he was just such a sweetheart and I completely changed my view of him and now, just hearing his Superman voice in the Lego movie makes me go a bit weak at the knees. He's not the best actor though.....!

I love Bradley Cooper, and I loved him in Silver Linings Playbook (and Jennifer Lawrence who is totally my imaginary BFF). When he says 'wait, was I some percentage not cool' I always laugh out loud!

Ryan Gosling is fairly fit, but his eyes are a bit close together and I don't really get the huge fuss over him.

Benedict Cumberbatch is a minger.

grumblepuss · 28/01/2015 09:50

I'm not a huge fan... But I like the Ryan gosling memes.
Hey girl...

ahbollocks · 28/01/2015 09:59

Im all about jesse pinkman (aaron paul) but Ryan would definitely definitely definitely get some

hellsbellsmelons · 28/01/2015 09:59

Or the fuss over Channing Tatum
I hear ya! My DD loves him though.
I loooove Bradley Cooper.
And.... Benedict Cumberbatch is a minger Well that's just slander Smile
Mmmmmm.... Sherlock.

Tryharder · 28/01/2015 10:00

He's sort of hot in a psychopath sort of way.

But he always plays sociopaths doesn't he?

I wouldn't date him

anonacfr · 28/01/2015 10:14

It's all about screen presence.

He's just v charismatic.

Siennasun · 28/01/2015 10:28

I was going to say YANBU but I was thinking of Ryan Reynolds.
I've never even seen a film with Ryan Reynolds in. I don't think I could watch one because I hate his face so much!! Angry
Ryan Gosling is fine. YABU

AmarettoSour · 28/01/2015 11:01

ControlFreak I'm also glad I'm not the only one who doesn't understand the fuss over Ryan seagull Gosling

Will need to watch Drive or Crazy Stupid Love and see if he can change my mind!

George Clooney is gorgeous but doesn't seem like he's got a lot of personality. Although I don't suppose that would matter Grin

I think GC seems like he's a good egg.
I liked him in The Descendants and he gives away his Nespresso coffees! Wink

ihatethecold · 28/01/2015 12:08

ahbollocks
Watch "A long way down"
Aaron Paul is in it.

Nancy66 · 28/01/2015 12:09

Ryan Gosling is sexy in movies, I don't think he is if you just look at him.

Bradley Cooper was sexy in The Hangover but not since. I do think he's a good actor though.

Benedict Cumberbatch is just not attractive at all and Channing Tatum looks like Wayne Rooney

OnlyLovers · 28/01/2015 12:26

So glad I'm not the only one to hate Silver Linings! Saw it with a friend who loved it and laughed, cried, sighed etc throughout. It left me cold and I felt like a right miserable caaaaah about it. But now I feel vindicated.

I wouldn't say no to Cumberbatch. Apart from anything else, he's so much The Thing right now that to do so would seem ... churlish.

IsadoraQuagmire · 28/01/2015 12:37

No, he's not much to look at, strangely people are Twitter are always going on about him (and also Channing Tatum, who's totally unremarkable to me)

ihatethecold · 28/01/2015 12:41

Have any of you seen Magic Mike? Blush

Cliffdiver · 28/01/2015 12:47

YANBU at all, I really don't get it.

YY to the little beady (sp?) eyes being too close together.

Nancy66 · 28/01/2015 12:52

Ryan is a real life super hero

treaclesoda · 28/01/2015 12:54

I once made a beautiful rice pudding and then tried to poncify it by adding rosewater, for a middle eastern theme.

The divorce courts were mentioned...

treaclesoda · 28/01/2015 12:54

Oh ffs, wrong thread Blush

Willferrellisactuallykindahot · 28/01/2015 12:55

Any thoughts on Will Ferrell? Smile

OnlyLovers · 28/01/2015 12:57

treacle, no worries and do carry on –I'm intrigued! Were you accused of it tasting like someone's nan's perfume or something?
