Call it the zen of Ryan.
During a roundtable interview with Ryan Gosling and filmmaker Derek Cianfrance for their latest film, The Place Beyond The Pines,�I asked the actor if he felt that the media focused too much on the more superficial aspects of his acting career ? remember the hubub over Bradley Cooper being chosen over him as People magazine's sexiest man of the year last fall? ? when he keeps proving himself to be one of the finest actors working today.
"I?m not really allowed to have an opinion so I just choose to not think about it," Gosling said. �"It is what it is."
After memorable performances last year in Drive, Ides of March and �Crazy, Stupid Love, Gosling is riveting in The Place Beyond The Pines�as a former stunt motorcyclist who turns to bank-robbing to support a son he fathered. �Although the film has yet to secure a distributor, the buzz at the festival on Saturday night was that it was only a matter of time.
During the roundtable interview ? more of which we'll post tomorrow ? Gosling and Cianfrance, who previously worked together on the 2010 heartwrencher�Blue Valentine, did not look like they were worried about their film reaching a wider audience.
Asked what made the actor special, Cianfrance sounded mostly sincere when he called Gosling a "magic person who makes things better," adding: "We've all seen him save people from getting hit by a car, and we've all seen him break up fights in the city. He makes the world a better place. And that's what he does in a movie. He makes me a better filmmaker and everyone around him better."
In response to the same question, the deadpan Gosling replied: "I look like Derek."
