Happy birthday Ryan Gosling!
As the heartthrob turns 41, this might be a good opportunity to look back at some of his steamiest moments – both on and off-screen.
The Canadian actor rose to fame in Disney’s The Mickey Mouse Club before landing his big break in 2004’s The Notebook, opposite fellow Canadian Rachel McAdams.
The good-looking pair famously fought ferociously while filming but later became an item.

From then on, his hunk status was confirmed and he went on to star in hits such as Crazy, Stupid, Love, La La Land and of course, Blue Valentine.
Controversial sex scene

Blue Valentine, a romantic drama released in 2010 and also starring Michelle Williams, made headlines due to how graphic and “too good” some of the sex scenes were.
In one memorable scene, Ryan performs oral sex on Michelle which sparked a classification ratings battle in America. The film was eventually downgraded to R rating.
He told The Guardian: “The sex felt real – it wasn’t sexy or ‘a sex scene’, and that’s why we got into trouble. You shouldn’t be penalised for doing a good job.”

Michelle, 42, also spoke out about the infamous sex scene and told Reuters: “I thought, ‘I’ve never seen that before in a movie and I’m proud to be the first’.
“Good on us for making that happen.”
She added: “As the woman in the situation that was in question, I found absolutely nothing scandalous, tawdry or disgusting about it.”

Ryan has been linked to various high-profile stars including Sandra Bullock, Blake Lively, Olivia Wilde and most recently, Eva Mendes.
He shares two daughters with The Place Beyond The Pines actress.
But before Ryan became involved with Eva, 48, an anonymous “curvy blonde” apparently had a one-night stand with the actor and after they did the deed, he turned on the waterworks.
The woman in question also said that Ryan “was the best lover she had ever had” but afterwards, he started crying.

She told Star magazine back in 2014: “I thought I heard him sniffling.
“Then, I realized he had tears gushing down his face. I asked if he was all right, and he said he gets emotional sometimes.”
Again happy birthday Ryan!
