Ryan Gosling Performs At The Opera House

Ryan Gosling and his band move their equipment into The Opera House in Toronto, Canada where they performed on Tuesday (October 20).
The 28-year-old actor/musician is now touring with Zach Shields as the Dead Man’s Bones. “Twelve cities in 14 days, a different choir in every city, and then a talent show opening for us in every city with local talent,” he told the Canadian Press.
Ryan shared, “It’s hard to tour this record and also do writing, but a lot of what we end up writing for the next record just finds some way into the live show…into our old songs, so I think that we’re playing our songs differently now.”

Ryan Gosling: Dead Man’s Bones Tour!

Ryan Gosling and his BFF bandmate Zach Shields have created a very unique video announcing the tour for their band Dead Man’s Bones.
The tour goes on all month and kicks off @ 8PM at Middle East on Wednesday (October 14) in Cambridge, Mass.
Check out the promo below — it involves a dog popping a bunch of balloons! Here’s the vid’s description: “We have been severely influenced by the works of [actor] Jan Michael Vincent and early [philosopher/ novelist] Jean Paul Sartre and I guess this our way of saying “thank-you” to all those who stood for something real and several things unreal. For all the Lou Diamond Phillips of the world who can step out in faith and say ‘please show my date the way out, quick’! This is for you.”

Ryan Gosling Kicks Off Tour In October — Kids Included!

Ryan Gosling and Zach Shields are set to bring their band Dead Man’s Bones on its very first tour this October.
Pitchfork reports, “The actor/musician duo will bring the songs from their band’s self-title debut album to life with the help of a local choir in each of the twelve spots they’re hitting. Their album was recorded with the Silverlake Conservatory Children’s Choir but they can’t bring all those kids on the road with them. Hence, a new group in every city.”
The opening act for the shows will be a talent show, organized by the band and featuring local talent in each city. Amazing! Check out the tour promo video below. It’s almost exactly like one of those videos you watch before you enter a haunted mansion at an amusement park!

Ryan Gosling was decked out in plaid yesterday for a run to the bank in LA. Tomorrow marks the one-year anniversary of Ryan's sweet reunion lunch with Rachel McAdams, and her rumored recent singleness has us wishing that these two would give it another go. Aside from our wishful thinking, Ryan's focus these days seems to be less on his love life and more on his music — he's gearing up for the October release of Dead Man's Bones' debut album, which many of you guys are also anticipating.

Ryan Gosling Is a Dream No Matter the Genre


Ryan Gosling Is a Dream No Matter the Genre
Tue, 08/04/2009 - by Molly

Ryan Gosling wore a muscle-hugging shirt — and kinda tight jeans — as he hopped on his motorcycle in LA over the weekend. This time he didn't have his fan club stopping him to pose for photos, but Ryan is happy to oblige when the ladies find him. Ryan frequently finds ways to show off his big heart, but I'm also always impressed by his buff physique. He doesn't take off his shirt often, but whether or not he hits the road when his album comes out, he's already one of the hottest guys in the indie music scene.

Ryan Gosling hands off a five-dollar bill to a homeless man sitting in a wheelchair at a Beverly Hills gas station on Thursday afternoon (July 23). The 28-year-old Canadian actor was later seen filling up a gas container for a friend who ran out of gas.
Here’s the first review for Ryan’s upcoming album Dead Man’s Bones, out October 6. Filter Mag says, “One might expect an actor’s foray into music to be littered with mistakes and miscues, but Gosling is able to craft a masterful album with the great help of [Zach] Shields and the Silverlake Conservatory Children’s Choir. The unique album will find company in similar side-projects like She & Him rather than The Bacon Brothers.”

Ryan Gosling Album To Release October 6th



Jul 8, 2009

You love him as a romantic lead, but will you love Ryan Gosling as a musician and singer? In a few months, Ryan's debut album will hit stores.
On October 6, Anti- will release Dead Man's Bones' self-titled debut album. (It was previously titled Never Let a Lack of Talent Get You Down.)
Here's Gosling talking about what motivated the album's sound:
"You know when you're a kid and you get crayons and papers and just draw whatever you want and it's just a bunch of messy lines, but to you it makes sense, and then they put it on the fridge? From that point on, you're always trying to get back on the fridge, you start drawing things that look like something, like, the more it looks like a horse, the more chance you have of getting it on the fridge.
We wanted to get back to that place before we were trying to make the fridge. We wanted to work with people who hadn't been affected in that way yet."
Seems like more and more actors are trying to become musicians and vice versa. However, Ryan doesn't seem the type to be in it for the fame. Looking forward to seeing how the album does.

Ryan Gosling looked extra hot in his tight sweater last night as he hopped out of a taxi in NYC. He's been in the city since last weekend, when he helped celebrate Jessica Stam's birthday alongside Chace Crawford and Jessica Szohr. We saw lots of Ryan on the East Coast last year as he filmed All Good Things with Kirsten Dunst, and the duo is sure to team up again to promote the movie before its release in July.

John Mayer and Ryan Gosling party at The Dark Room following the premiere of Anvil! The Story Of Anvil at the Egyptian Theater on Tuesday (April 7) in Los Angeles.
The film is a a documentary about the Canadian heavy metal band, Anvil, who formed in 1978. Entertainment Weekly gave the flick an A, saying, “It’s a hilarious, and unexpectedly moving, documentary about the greatest metal band you’ve probably never heard of — Anvil, a crew of Canadian headbangers who came up in the demon-thrash ’80s and were potent and original enough to influence the style and sound of Anthrax, Metallica, and Megadeth.”

Ryan Gosling modeled yet another piece from his cut-out neck t-shirt collection stopping by a falafel place in LA yesterday. Gosling didn't end up bringing his band Dead Man's Bones to SXSW in Austin after all, which probably left a few disappointed fans of both his music and dreaminess. Judging from his all green ensemble the week after St. Patrick's Day, maybe hot Ryan is on his own calendar anyway.

Ryan Gosling on 28 february


Ryan Gosling was looking sharp on Saturday when spotted after grabbing lunch with some friends. He's not usually dressed this formally during the day, but this outfit is definitely a step up from his favorite hole-y tee. Ryan's got another important ensemble to pick out for the debut Dead Man's Bones performance at the SXSW Festival later this month. You all loved their single, so hopes are high that their first concert goes well too.

Biography

Ryan Thomas Gosling (born November 12, 1980) is an Academy- and Golden Globe Award-nominated Canadian actor. He is perhaps best known for his roles in The Notebook, Half Nelson and Lars and the Real Girl.
Early life
Gosling was born in London, Ontario and raised in the small city of Cornwall, the son of Donna, a secretary, and Thomas Gosling, a paper mill worker. His parents, who were Mormons, divorced when he was young. He had difficulty in school and often engaged in fights with fellow students. His mother withdrew him from school and taught him at home from the age of ten. Gosling did not have a religious upbringing, he was free to explore and discover his own religious beliefs.After returning to the public system he went to Cornwall Collegiate and Vocational School, but dropped out at age seventeen.
When Gosling first came to live in Los Angeles in 1997, he was given a place to stay at the West Hollywood apartment of Director Ron Oliver (Goosebumps & Breaker High).

Career
Gosling has had no formal training as an actor. His first acting experience was in the 1990s revival of The Mickey Mouse Club, for which he auditioned on a whim at the age of thirteen. As a result, he appeared in the show alongside Britney Spears, Christina Aguilera and Justin Timberlake in the show's sixth and seventh seasons. Later he appeared in other television series including Young Hercules, and Ron Oliver's Goosebumps and Breaker High. His fame spread to the United States after he starred in the 2001 controversial drama The Believer, which won the Grand Jury Prize at the Sundance Film Festival. This success led to future films including Remember the Titans, The Slaughter Rule, and Murder by Numbers. Because of his turn as the romantic lead in the 2004 film The Notebook, Gosling was named one of People magazine's Fifty Hottest Bachelors and the Show West Male Star of Tomorrow.
In preparation for his role as Dan Dunne, a drug-addicted, junior high school history teacher in the 2006 film Half Nelson, Gosling moved to Brooklyn, shadowed a middle school teacher, and studied the Civil Rights Movement (a subject with which his character is fascinated). In March 2007, Gosling won the Best Actor category at the Spirit Awards (formerly known as the Independent Spirit Awards) for his role in the movie. For the same role he was nominated for an Academy Award, a Screen Actors Guild Award, and a Broadcast Film Critics Association award as best actor.
Recently Gosling has starred in the film Fracture alongside Anthony Hopkins. He was to begin filming for The Lovely Bones in October 2007, but has since been replaced by Mark Wahlberg. it was subsequently reported that director Peter Jackson fired him because he was "too demanding" A few days later, however, Gosling denied these claims, explaining that his young age was behind the decision to replace him in the film. He said, "The age of the character versus my real age was always a concern of mine. Peter and I tried to make it work and ultimately it just didn't. I think the film is much better off with Mark Wahlberg in that role. Peter Jackson is an incredible filmmaker and I'm here to tell you that he has things up his sleeve that are going to blow people's minds. I'm going to be the first person in line to buy tickets." In 2007, Gosling was invited to join the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences.
In late 2007, Gosling made a surprise cameo appearance onstage at the Sacred Fools Theatre in Hollywood in the serialized play "Darque Magick" from writer/director Jenelle Riley. For months, the lead character in "Darque Magick" had been making references to his obsession with Gosling, finally culminating in the actor appearing in a videotaped plea for the character to return his dog.
On December 13, 2007, Gosling was nominated for Golden Globe Award for Best Actor - Motion Picture Musical or Comedy. On January 12th, 2008, it was announced on NME.COM that Courtney Love made an official announcement saying Ryan Gosling would portray her former husband, Kurt Cobain, in his upcoming bio film. In January 2008 it was announced that Gosling would be appearing in a reboot of the Jack Ryan franchise, By Any Means Necessary.

Personal life
Gosling divides his time between Toronto and Los Angeles, California. Gosling also has several homemade tattoos. He has a dog named "George" which he rescued from a kennel in Los Angeles. He has an Arabic food restaurant named "Tagine" that is in Beverly Hills.
He dated Sandra Bullock for two years, who was his co-star in Murder by Numbers. He was also in a relationship with his The Notebook co-star, fellow Canadian Rachel McAdams, but Gosling announced their breakup in the November 2007 issue of GQ.[ He calls Rachel one of the "greatest loves of his life". The Notebook director Nick Cassavetes had previously said that he was surprised to see the two dating because of their on-set arguing.
In 2007, on an episode of Getaway (an Australian travel show), Gosling revealed he spent several years in New Zealand (a notable location for international film making), which he "enjoyed" and hoped to "pass away in the beautiful country". He was cast in Peter Jackson's film The Lovely Bones but was unfortunately later replaced by Mark Wahlberg. Filming had commenced in Early 2008, in Wellington, New Zealand. Gosling had gained 10 pounds for the role.
