Brad Pitt and George Clooney take note: This is how you rock scruff while looking deliciously doable. Ryan Gosling took a stroll through L.A. reminding us that, first, he does still exist, and second, why we shouldn’t be too heartbroken that a real-life Notebook romance to Rachel McAdams didn’t work out. That means Ry-Babe is back on the market.
And if Gosling’s ridiculously sexy looks weren’t enough to make ya swoon, the large guitar over his shoulder serves as a not-so-subtle cue that he’s also a sensitive, multitalented kinda guy. Whereas stud buckets like Ryan Reynolds pump and prune to the max, it’s the quieter dudes who are truly doin’ it for themselves.
Indeed, it’s rare to find a guy who can pull off skinny-ish jeans and a musical instrument without looking John Mayer douche-like. So props to you, Mr. G. Next time we catch a rare appearance, we can only hope for fewer threads.
