Ladies, better enjoy the upcoming Ryan Gosling films this year, as it may be a while before we see any more.
In an interview with Associated Press, Gosling (32) confessed he’s looking to take a break from acting.
“I’ve been doing it too much. I’ve lost perspective on what I’m doing. I think it’s good for me to take a break and reassess why I’m doing it and how I’m doing it. And I think this is probably a good way to learn about that.
I need a break from myself as much as I imagine the audience does.“
Yes, you read it right. The man is sick of himself!
In the interview, Gosling also goes on to say that:
“There’s a lot of pressure to be the lead of a film. I have done it. It’s not my favourite way to work.”
Hard to imagine him questioning himself with the slew of successful films he’s had in the last couple of years.
And yet…let’s remember that Gosling has been acting since he was eight years old. Now, after reaching A-list status, he’s willing to take a break and enjoy his freedom. This is a rarity in Hollywood. We don’t often see successful actors taking time out for introspection. This man has a great head on his shoulders. Makes me like him even more.
But before he takes a break, we’ll all be seeing him on-screen as a tattooed bike rider who travels with a circus in The Place Beyond The Pines. The film opens March 29th and co-stars his real-life girlfriend Eva Mendes (39). His other upcoming film is Only God Forgives, about a Bangkok police lieutenant and a gangster settling their differences in a Thai-boxing match.
Sorry to hear you’re in need of a break, Ryan. Wish that my vote counted, because I, for one, am NOT sick of you.
Julie, that is hilarious!!
i can offer my services to help him relax…
I’m not sick of him either. And I’m reconsidering my position on casting for Fifty Shades… he’d make a pretty good Christian Grey, I reckon.
But good for him… better to take a break before burning all the way out.
