Here's a tip.

If you ever run into Ryan Gosling on the street, try not to confuse him with Ryan Reynolds...

"I get that a lot," the Notebook actor tells funnyman Steve Carell in the November issue of Interview magazine about getting mistaken for Scarlett Johansson's hubby. "I do think it's because we're both Canadian."

LOL.

He continues, "I can't tell you how many times people go, 'Are you Ryan?' And I go, 'Yeah.' And they say, 'Can I get a picture?' Then they take the picture and realize, in that moment, that I'm not Ryan Reynolds. I can see the disappointment in their faces."

Gosling also reveals that when he starred in Disney's The Mickey Mouse Club alongside Justin Timberlake, Britney Spears and Christina Aguilera, he would sneak off to Disney World's Pleasure Island entertainment district.

"It was geared toward an older crowd," he says. "I remember there was one guy who I became friends with. He would sneak us in and we would go to a club there called 8Trax and dance with the secretaries, who were grinding on us. Now, that sounds completely inappropriate. I can't imagine how it was possible."

Now about those hot bicep-baring pics in the magazine, Gosling warns Carell, "I should let you know before we get into this that the pictures which will be accompanying this interview are basically of me in tight, wet T-shirts and tiny leather jackets going around in the rain and pretending that I'm a lot cooler than I am."
