School / College / University

He bounced between a few schools growing up in Ontario, including Gladstone Public School, Cornwall Collegiate and Vocational School, and Lester B. Pearson High School in Burlington. But traditional classrooms didn’t always click for him. For a stretch, his mom home-schooled him, hoping to give him more structure and space to grow. By 17, Gosling had already caught the acting bug in a big way. He made the bold move to drop out of high school and fully chase a career in entertainment.

Religion

Ryan Gosling grew up in a devout Mormon household, and the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints played a big role in shaping his early life—from the way his family ate to how they spent Sundays singing in church. But as he got older, Gosling began to question the faith. He’s said he never fully connected with Mormonism on a personal level and eventually stepped away from organized religion altogether. These days, he leans more spiritual than religious—grateful for the values and structure from his upbringing, but not tied to any one belief system.

Race / Ethnicity

Ryan Gosling’s roots are a fascinating mix. He’s primarily French-Canadian—about half of his ancestry comes from that heritage—but his family tree doesn’t stop there. He also has English, Scottish, Irish, and a bit of German in the mix. What’s especially interesting is a rare detail uncovered through genealogy: he’s believed to have a very small trace of African-American ancestry, about 1/128th, from a five-times great-grandfather noted as “Negro” in old records who married into his French-Canadian line.

Food Habits

Ryan keeps his eating habits pretty chill but intentional—especially when he’s prepping for a role. He usually follows intermittent fasting, the 16:8 kind, where he skips breakfast and eats between 11 a.m. and 7 p.m. During that time, he fits in four meals that are clean and simple: lots of chicken, fish, veggies, rice, fruits, and the occasional protein shake. Nothing fancy—just wholesome food that keeps him feeling strong and energized.

He’s not big on junk, but he’s also not extreme. Hydration is a must for him, so you’ll usually find him with water or something with electrolytes nearby. And while he eats clean most of the time, he’s got a soft spot for Twizzlers. Yep, even Ryan Gosling has a sweet tooth. It’s all about balance—healthy enough to stay fit for demanding roles, but relaxed enough to enjoy the little things.

Hobbies

‎He plays piano, loves jazz, and even formed an indie rock band, Dead Man’s Bones. He’s into woodworking and once built his own kitchen table. Off-screen, he enjoys dancing, vintage cars, and spending low-key time with his family.

Tattoo

Here’s a quick peek at Ryan Gosling’s tattoos—each one as quirky and personal as the man himself:

“Esme” tattoo – A tribute to his daughter, Esmeralda. Simple and heartfelt, it’s a quiet nod to his role as a dad.
Monster hand tattoo – Looks like a cactus or maybe a monster’s hand… Gosling admits he did it himself and it didn’t turn out quite right.
“W” shaped tattoo – This one’s a mystery. Some fans think it stands for “Willy,” a nickname, or it could be just another personal symbol.
“Dr. Woo”-style pieces – He’s got a few fine-line, minimalist designs inked by the famed tattoo artist known for subtle detail.
Homemade tattoos – Gosling’s not shy about DIY ink—some of his tattoos were done by friends or himself, adding to their charm.

Eva Mendes (2011–Present)

Ryan Gosling and Eva Mendes have one of Hollywood’s most low-key love stories—and that’s exactly how they like it. While most people think they met on the set of The Place Beyond the Pines in 2011, Mendes later revealed they actually met earlier—on a flight, of all places. They were friends first, and things turned romantic while filming the movie, where they played on-screen partners.

By fall of 2011, the world caught on. Paparazzi snapped them holding hands at Disneyland, and just like that, dating rumors took off. A year later, they made their red carpet debut as a couple at The Place Beyond the Pines premiere, looking effortlessly in sync.

Since then, Gosling and Mendes have kept things incredibly private. They share two daughters, Esmeralda and Amada, and have made family their focus.
