Gosling replied, “I don’t… what is this book that everyone is talking about? It seems very popular.”

In “Pines,” Gosling, who attended the premiere with co-star and GF Eva Mendes, plays a motorcycle stunt rider who considers committing a crime in order to provide for his wife and child, but ends up colliding with cop-turned-politician, played by Bradley Cooper.


Ryan said of the role, “It's always been a fantasy of mine to rob a bank, but I'm scared of jail!”
 
“The Place Beyond the Pines” is set for release in 2013.

"50 Shades of Grey” Odds -- The Casting Game" If ANYONE in this list, except perhaps Emmy Rossum and Ian Somerhalder (sp)gets this part, I am not watching. How did some of those people even end up on the list?????

Oh, I'm not falling for that line. He very well knows what it is. He either knows he's in the running and keeping quiet or has no interest in the role.

Ugh, God no he is not the fan favorite. I hate the media sometimes. Ian Somerhalder is fan favorite. Why does it seem like Gosling is lying? I swear if they've been talking to him about the role while telling the fans they haven't been,well that then screw that and screw the whole damn movie! He's no Christian Grey.

Ryan Gosling is a good actor but he isn't Christian Grey material. And, he is NOT a fan favorite for this role to those of us who have read the books.

Leonardo DiCaprio should play Christian Grey. Jennifer Love Hewett should play Ana Steele. Courtney Cox should play Katherine. Gena Davis should play the woman who trained Christian to be what he is.
