What is Ryan Gosling's net worth?
As a child, Ryan was encouraged by his sister to be a performer, and frequently performed with his uncle's Elvis Presley tribute act. He was ostracized as a child and eventually homeschooled for his bullying, but has said performing improved his self-esteem. Ryan's first on-screen role was in The Mickey Mouse Club, where he performed with fellow child stars Justin Timberlake, Christina Aguilera, and Britney Spears.
Following The Mickey Mouse Club's cancellation, Ryan moved back to Canada and starred in several TV series, such as Are You Afraid of the Dark? Goosebumps, and more. When Ryan was 19, he starred in The Believer, which is credited as his breakout role. However, Ryan didn't rise to widespread recognition until his performance in The Notebook. He also received acclaim for roles in Lars and the Real Girl and Blue Valentine.
Although Ryan was acting in several films a year, he began to pursue a wider variety of film genres. In 2011, he performed in his first comedy role in Crazy, Stupid, Love, and his first action film role in Drive. In 2013, following a string of bad films, Ryan announced he was taking a hiatus from acting. In 2014, he made his directorial debut to unfavorable reviews.
