Ryan Gosling Covers 'New York' Magazine

Ryan Gosling kills its with just a basic buttoned white tee parred along with black trousers on the new cover of NY magazine’s December issue. The "Blue Valentine" actor spilled his thoughts about his film’s rating, the differences between his film choices and staying in the moment. Dig it below!


On the MPAA’s NC-17 rating for Blue Valentine...“[They're saying it's] okay supporting scenes that portray women in scenarios of sexual torture and violence for entertainment purposes, but they are trying to force us to look away from a scene that shows a woman in a sexual scenario, which is both complicit and complex.”

You don’t have kids yourself, right...? "Yeah, I was at a disadvantage during the movie because Michelle's really living this. But my character also was a kid himself and was pretty oblivious to the idea of responsibility, so I think that it worked!"

Some things are so unexpected — you on the ukulele, Michelle doing a little soft-shoe … Who knew Michelle could name all the presidents?

Did that feel different, working this way...? There was nothing we weren’t prepared for. Actors spend so much time on what’s in their wallet and every little detail, but most of the time you feel like you’re just getting started. When you work this way you get to flesh everything out, and you really feel like you really explored this person.


All Good Things co-star Kirsten Dunst, on Ryan... ““Ryan is kind and adorable, yet also really dark and weird and manipulative. Everything you’d want in an actor.”

And you’ve been busy with your music project, Dead Man’s Bones..."The music is spooky doo-wop. We wanted to put on a show that was like an elementary-school version of a Robert Wilson play, like a real lo-fi super-abstract kids' play. In our imaginations it was possible, but in reality it was the most expensive show ever, so we just stuck with the record. Making music is cheaper and can be just as effective."


And that seems like such a non-commercial thing to do..."Well, I’m totally addicted to YouTube movies, stuff that some kids made in an hour in the bathroom, but it’s so great. All that stuff, you just can’t make money on it, that’s the only downside. Sometimes it’s hard to make money off of things you like to do. The more I do it, the more I think it’s a bad idea.

So you won’t be playing a superhero anytime soon...?Those things are really hard, man. I don’t do them out of fear, because I really think the people that do those CGI movies are great actors. To make believe that some giant is chasing you when a giant is not chasing you … That’s acting. It’s easier to do things that are more true to life. If I had to act right now like some monster just crashed through the building, you wouldn’t hire me.

On staying in the moment...“I know it sounds dramatic, but every movie I make is the first and last. It’s important for me to think that the things you’ve made, they’re in the past. It’s what you’re making now that matters.”
