I think the photographers of this photo shoot had their stuff together for Ryan Gosling and the November 2010 cover of Interview magazine. Water, tight tshirts, leather jackets and Ryan. It’s a match made in heaven. I have been reading through the interview done by Steve Carrell and I can’t stop giggling. Yes, Ryan. You make me giggle.

On being Canadian: I loved growing up in Canada. It’s a great place to grow up, because—well, at least where I grew up—it’s very multicultural. There’s also good health care and a good education system. So it’s a great place to be from, although, when I was 8, I was walking to school one day and I saw a frozen cat by the side of the road, and I picked it up and hit it against a tree.

On his experience in MMC (my favorite show in high school!!): It was kind of depressing because when I got there, they realized that I wasn’t really up to snuff in comparison with what some of the other kids were able to do. I remember one time they put four of us in a dance routine, but I was so off. I was on the end, so they just pushed the shot in closer on the other three guys to frame me out. I would just come in at the beginning of the show and then come back at the end, and occasionally I’d have a sketch here or there, but I didn’t end up working that much, which was disheartening.

On getting mistaken for Ryan Reynolds: I get that a lot—and I do think it’s because we’re both Canadian. 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.
