Happy Birthday Ryan Gosling. Relive His Sexiest Moments

Ryan Gosling is 34 today. Though the handsome hunk and new dad is officially off the market, reminiscing about his greatest movie moments is still fair game. Here’s to the man who made sexy rain make out sessions even sexier and is responsible for the “Hey Girl” memes that definitely brighten everyone’s day. In honor of Gosling’s 34th birthday, I’ve rounded up the best and most beautiful moments of his career.

Gosling officially caught my attention in The Notebook. The fact that he was with Rachel McAdams in real life blew my mind. I didn’t handle their break up well. Like, WHY DIDN’T IT WORK?

Blue Valentine just makes you never want be in a relationship ever again. But god, is he hot in it. Everyone started wondering, “Did Michelle Williams and Ryan Gosling have sex in real life?”

His abs in Crazy Stupid Love. My ex-boyfriend said even he would have sex with Gosling in this movie.

I am a total ass and back woman because of A Place Beyond the Pines.

Let’s talk about that one time I thought a guy with a mustache was hot (who was also in love with a sex doll)—thanks to Lars and the Real Girl.

Gosling in Drive never needs any further explanation. Everyone just knows what you are talking about.

What was Only God Forgives about again? Who cares? Gosling was in it.

He brought his dog on Late Night with Jimmy Fallon – talk about a total game-changer.

Plus, he’s artsy. Spotted: Gosling making an 8 mm film of his dog.

I love his band Dead Man’s Bones. He even performs with a children’s choir on the record. Yup.

My favorite protest of all time: when people tried to “Occupy” People Magazine for snubbing Gosling as Sexiest Man of 2011.
