Ryan Gosling, known for his iconic roles in “Drive” and “La La Land,” has recently divulged his life’s philosophy, especially his thoughts on mortality.
In a conversation with Men’s Health, Gosling highlighted the paramount importance of his family. He pointed out that his partner, actress Eva Mendes, and their daughters are his foremost priorities.
“Professionally, I don’t see myself having regrets, but regarding Eva and our girls, they definitely come first. I often think about the end of my life, which might sound morbid, but it’s actually quite useful for me,” he explained.
Gosling advocates for placing family ahead of career, noting that maintaining relationships is key to a meaningful life. “Whenever I face challenges, I consider whether it will be significant at the end of my life. This perspective, although extreme, proves to be quite beneficial,” he added.
During the interview, Gosling also expressed admiration for his heroes, including Mendes and his uncle Bill, who was a supportive figure during his early uncertainties. He offered a peek into his life with Mendes, showcasing his cooking skills with dishes like Moroccan chicken bastilla and sharing their enjoyment of the show “Love Is Blind.”
Gosling and Mendes began their relationship in 2011 while filming “The Place Beyond the Pines.” Over the years, their relationship has deepened, leading to a family with two daughters, Esmeralda and Amada. The couple has chosen a life away from the public eye, recently moving from Los Angeles to provide a quieter environment for their children, away from the spotlight of celebrity culture. Despite speculation, they have kept their marital status private.
An insider shared with People Magazine that Gosling and Mendes focus intensely on their children’s upbringing, striving for a balance between work and family life. They are committed to their family’s happiness, which is central to their relationship.
Gosling is seen as a dedicated and playful father, often engaging in various activities with his daughters. “He frequently takes the girls out on his own, and as a family, they enjoy trips to the desert and beach. They are quite active, and both Eva and Ryan appear joyful and often affectionate in public,” the source noted.
Both actors prioritize their privacy but remain successful in their careers. Mendes has recently made a public appearance at Fashion Week and announced a collaboration with a San Francisco jeweler to design a unique ring. Meanwhile, Gosling is preparing for the release of his new film, “Fall Guys,” an action-comedy featuring Emily Blunt, set to premiere on May 3.
