Quotables: Ryan Gosling on The Notebook

“The director, Nick Cassavetes, called me to meet him at his house. When I got there, he was standing in his back yard, and he looked at me and said, ‘I want you to play this role because you’re not like the other young actors out there in Hollywood. You’re not handsome, you’re not cool, you’re just a regular guy who looks a bit nuts.'”

Ryan Gosling explains how he he landed that one role that started this whole thing.

Before we get into Ryan’s little tale, can I talk about my emotions for minute concerning The Notebook? Because I’ve only seen the movie once. On TV. In my dorm room. And I don’t know if you know this about me, but I am the kind of girl who just eats that stuff up. Like I was sobbing hysterically, just completely losing it so many times during that movie. And then towards the end of the movie, one of my best friends came over to hang out, and respectfully sat down and remained silent while I was having my moment over the ending of that film. BUT THEN, just a few minutes later, my friend’s loudmouth girlfriend came over too, sat down, and proceeded to loudly laugh and mock the movie. During the entire ending. I was trying to have my moment while this girl was making fun of it and me. And yes, I’m still bitter.

But now that I let some of that go, I just want to ask what you think about Ryan’s quote up there. Doesn’t it seem a little wrong to say anything negative about Ryan Gosling? Even for Ryan Gosling to recount something somewhat negative that someone might have said to him years ago? Oh, and by “wrong,” of course I mean “SHUT UP SHUT UP SHUT UP!”
