In honour of his birthday, we remember our favourites among the actor's musical moments
It is a truth universally acknowledged that everyone in the world is a little bit in love with Ryan Gosling. It’s certainly been acknowledged at the AnOther offices, hence our desire to celebrate the actor’s birthday with fanfare and song; either songs performed by Gosling himself, or those that soundtrack his most impressive film roles.
So, as he marks his 33rd birthday, and the world mourns his decision to take a cinematic hiatus of undetermined length, we’ve taken a languid pilgrimage through his musical highlights. Ranging from a 1991 talent show performance of When A Man Loves A Woman, through the soaring strings that accompanied his and Rachel McAdams’ kiss in The Notebook, via the wrenching chords of his Blue Valentine ukulele solo, to the work of his band Dead Man’s Bones and a Dirty Dancing homage, let us cheer your gloomy autumn Tuesday with the AnOther Ryan Gosling Playlist.
