Coolest person this year

The coolest person this year according to TIME magazine is – Ryan Gosling. Such has been his popularity that there were protests by his fans outside People Magazine’s New York headquarters when they had snubbed Gosling and tagged Bradley Cooper as the sexiest man alive. Incidentally both are working on a film out next year -The Place Beyond the Pines. But Gosling is cool enough not to even bother about the title. And his dreamy charm is an instant female magnet which is undoubtedly the reason why he has been turned into an internet meme by fawning legion of fans.

The meme ‘Hey Girl’ spawns from the blog F__ Yeah, Ryan Gosling on Tumblr.There are scores of handsome Gosling snapshots with messages written with the Hey Girl theme. Another one being Ryan or a Puppy ? also on Tumblr. Sample some down here.

Gosling meanwhile is unassuming about it and is busy pleasing viewers with his stellar year at the movies. Closely followed by last year’s terrific Blue Valentine, he has his chiselled frame for display in Crazy Stupid Love, he is calculative and competitively amoral in The Ides of March and downright unpredictable in that scorpion jacket in Drive. Watch his charm over here in his appearance at Conan before the release of Drive and his why he thinks Disney has an undercover cat army – all in good humour .

The best line on him is a fake quote by Orson Welles from F____k Yeah, Ryan Gosling ;

The most awesomest, raddest, coolest dude since me - Orson Welles
