  • "I should have been more clear; I'm just taking a break to direct. I'm sorry about that," Gosling told Vanity Fair at the premiere of his latest movie The Place Beyond the Pines.
  • A hotline was created following Gosling's sudden announcement of an acting hiatus. The hotline is for fans going through Ryan Gosling withdrawals. They can dial and hear the actor's voice while he is away from the screens.
  • The 32-year-old Canadian actor looked amused about the hotline. "Uh, sorry about the hotline," he added, laughing.
  • In The Place Beyond the Pines, Gosling has teamed up with his real-life girlfriend Eva Mendes and his Blue Valentine director Derek Cianfrance.

  • "I had about a dozen AD's (assistant directors, at the fairground) with Dr Seuss hats to distract people and make sure they did not look in the camera and did not look at Ryan Gosling with his shirt off walking through the fair. I would say that there were many takes ruined by people doing that," the director said.
