A Friendly, Neighborhood Reminder That Ryan Gosling Once Played a Goofy Young Hercules

Updated on Oct 1, 2016 at 3:00 PM

Trying to pinpoint Ryan Gosling's most perfect onscreen role is tough. Is it when he made us bawl our eyes out in The Notebook? Or when he fell in love with Emma Stone for the hundredth time? Maybe it was when he pretended to date a sex doll in Lars and the Real Girl? Like we said: tough. Then again, of all the amazing characters Gosling has transformed into, you'd be hard pressed to find a better one than Young Hercules. "Wait, what?" you might be asking. "You think his 49-episode stint on the 1998 TV show Young Hercules is better than his acting in The Nice Guys?" To which I'd reply, "Wow, you really know Ryan Gosling's résumé inside and out," and also, "No, but let's admire the hilarious GIFs of him in it anyways."
