Ryan Gosling

Hollywood's busiest actor, Ryan Gosling, sat down with "Extra's" Renee Bargh to discuss his new movie, "Drive," and to take "Extra's" Rapid-Fire Quiz!

Renee: Favorite chick flick, besides "The Notebook"?

Ryan: "Steel Magnolias."

"Extra's" Renee Bargh caught up with Hollywood's coolest leading man, Ryan Gosling, and asked about his changing hair color. Gosling explained, "When I did that blonde thing, I thought about when I was a kid and I wanted to be like Billy Idol. So I thought I'll try to do the Billy Idol thing, but I ended up looking like the guy from 'Saved By the Bell,' (Mark Paul Gosselaar). It just didn't work out. But it seemed like a good idea at the time."

The handsome 30-year-old dished about his latest film, "Drive," in which he stars as a Hollywood stunt performer who moonlights as a wheelman. Ryan gushed, "I love this character," and made a surprising comparison. "I always wished I could see a violent John Hughes movie. I always thought if 'Pretty in Pink' had some head-bashing in it, it would be the perfect movie, so I thought it was an opportunity to make that with this."

It's called the Happiest Place on Earth for a reason, and the hottest couple there this weekend wasn't Mickey and Minnie, but Ryan Gosling and Eva Mendes.

On Saturday, hot new couple Eva and Ryan headed to Disneyland, where they kissed, hugged and held hands as they toured the amusement park, according to US Weekly. An observer said, "They were playful. Eva was skipping around like a little girl... she would lean into him and she held his arm the entire time." Yup, they were goofy for each other.
