Ryan Gosling looked like a hot and vastly improved [1] version of himself at a screening of Lars and the Real Girl [2] in NYC last night. While the mustache is still pretty ridiculous, his handsome somehow shines through. He cozied up to his costars, Emily Mortimer and Patricia Clarkson, who are also excellent in the movie — which I wholeheartedly recommend. Loved it. Gosling seems to have slimmed down quickly since leaving the cast of The Lovely Bones [3], which makes me think that it can't really have been his bulkiness [4] that cost him the role, right? Even though I'll miss him in that movie, just seeing him all gussied up is such a treat. And no, I'm not going to mention how much I wish Rachel McAdams was on his arm. Damn, I kinda just did anyway, right?
