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?

Pretty much Only Grin

It was along the lines of 'that smelt amazing when it was cooking, and now it smells of soap...'

is 'making a rice pudding' some sort of sex code?

expatinscotland · 28/01/2015 13:02

His head doesn't suit his body.

Theonlyoneiknow · 28/01/2015 13:02

oh yes, Ryan Gosling in Stupid, Crazy, Love - HUMINA HUMINA!

Stinkylinky · 28/01/2015 13:03

I don't get the Gosling hype at.all.

OnlyLovers · 28/01/2015 13:05

treacle, the perils of rosewater. Seems like such a lovely idea and then ...

I once made a beautiful rice pudding DOES sound like a euphemism. Grin 'Benedict Cumberbatch and I would make a beautiful rice pudding.'

ahh but would you still love him with no teeth Grin

Pmsl @ Rodney trotter he does! I love M Mcconaughey nothing could put me off him i.dailymail.co.uk/i/pix/2013/03/14/article-2293394-18A5279F000005DC-665_634x835.jpg

I felt exactly the same way. Didn't get the fuss, the facebooks memes etc.

Then last year I saw Crazy, Stupid Love and now I totally get it!

TendonQueen · 28/01/2015 13:11

Re Ryan and Eva splitting up, I'm sure I read a (cough) Daily Fail piece about them going on date night very recently. So I thought they were still together. Usual guff about how Eva looked post baby.

VenusRising · 28/01/2015 13:24

Sorry noddy, but my gadar goes into overdrive with mcconaughty...

I think plaice like Americans have eyes too close together because they tummy sleep as babies, and Europeans put babies to sleep on their backs?

They all look like squint eyed weasels to me.

Arf Grin at cummerbatch looking like something would burst out of his head. Maybe he should play a Nordic Zeus?

I love silver linings as a film though, but can't see the thing about Bradley, (who is twice the age of his child bride, barf) and find Channing (not hot) Potatum rather too meaty betwixt the ears.

FreudiansSlipper · 28/01/2015 13:34

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

that made me really giggle

and yes the film is utter hollywood rubbish

I am not sure i get the attraction or of Bradley Cooper, George i am becoming such a slime ball Clooney, Brad Pitt, Channing Tatum - he does not look very intelligent. Gosh I hope they will not be too upset about my feelings but i have to be honest.

now Josh Brolin or Woody Harrelson I feel quite differently about

hellsbellsmelons · 28/01/2015 14:02

Freud you really don't get this????
Hubba hubba.

AWimbaWay · 28/01/2015 14:05
, I'm not sure why I find this quite so hilarious.
noddyholder · 28/01/2015 14:06

I think Brad Pitt looks like a farm hick should have dungarees on and a piece of straw in his mouth Yuck! And Clooney like a sleazy bank manager No!

Gatekeeper · 28/01/2015 14:32

I laughed and laughed at that Ryan Gosling cereal clip; it is pure gold Grin

holdyourown · 28/01/2015 14:36

YANBU I don't get it either. But I'll have Channing Tatum then please if no-one else wants him Grin

MamaLazarou · 28/01/2015 14:39

YANBU, RG has a foolish face, IMO. Seems like a nice guy, though, and very good at his job.

walde · 28/01/2015 14:45

Oh my, the cereal video is hilarious!

Nancy66 · 28/01/2015 15:22

Matthew Mc never strikes me as the sharpest tool. Whenever he's being interviewed he comes across as a right div

noddyholder · 28/01/2015 15:22

I am not after his intellect to be fair

AugustRose · 28/01/2015 16:04

I totally understand the Ryan Gosling love lust Wink but do have a crush on Aaron Paul at the minute.

I am also a Matthew Mc fan, there is something very dirty (literally sometimes) about him Grin

captainfarrell · 28/01/2015 16:24

Who?

AmarettoSour · 28/01/2015 16:48

Matthew Mc is DP's most hated actor! I like to watch his films just to annoy him Grin

I've also never understood the Jennifer Aniston love - but now I think about it she's quite similar to RG so maybe that look is just not my type!
