The
holiday season is a time for counting blessings.That’s why this seems like an
appropriate time to give thanks for the greatest gift that the celebrity world
has given us this year: Ryan Gosling.Gosling was a celebrity before 2011, but
this was the year that Ryan Gosling the Phenomenon truly came into being. To
those who spend little time navigating entertainment blogs, Gosling, 31, is an
actor who has earned an Academy Award nomination and appeared in three wildly
different films in recent months: Drive, Crazy, Stupid, Love and The Ides of
March. (Four, actually, if you count Blue Valentine, which rolled out in
January.)But to those who track the online fervor that surrounds the Canadian
star and unofficially designated “dreamboat of choice” to women younger than
40, he is the modern, self-aware equivalent of Humphrey Bogart, Marlon Brando
and James Dean rolled into one simultaneously uber-cool, sensitive male
soul.Ryan Gosling is the celebrity most capable of generating a meme. He
inspires countless blogs — including the oft-cited “(Bleep) Yeah, Ryan
Gosling,” where the “Hey girl” catchphrase was born in 2009.Ryan Gosling is an
urban superhero, the kind of guy who breaks up a street fight in New York, gets
captured on YouTube doing so and is hailed on the Internet for being a hipster
version of Batman even though everyone knows that Christian Bale is Batman.Ryan
Gosling is a fascinating enigma who inspires New York Times essays in which he
is called “as interesting as Bob Dylan in 1966.” That is because Ryan Gosling
inspires deep thought.Ryan Gosling represents the completely unrealistic ideal
that women want all men to live up to: elusive, edgy, potentially dangerous but
also kind to dogs, considerate enough to take his mother and sister to the
Oscars and willing to unashamedly fall in love in movies based on lousy
Nicholas Sparks romance novels ( The Notebook) as well as star in movies about
guys who form serious relationships with blow-up dolls ( Lars and the Real
Girl).Ryan Gosling is a precious gift, one that we hope keeps on giving during
what’s left of 2011 and for years to come.
