More often than not, Ryan Gosling
is a walking meme. His very presence is like one giant "Hey Girl." Even
when he is simply standing there, minding his own business, he's being
all Gosling-y, what with his sensitive eyes and his knowing smirk and
that freaking hair.
So it's understandable that sometimes other,
non-Ryan Gosling humans who find themselves around Ryan Gosling simply
do not behave normally. Reality, and most social norms, go straight out
the window. A person is no longer in charge of their faculties, and
their limbs and facial expressions act as though independent of their
brain; their brain that is now mush because they can't stop staring
right into his eyes.
Fellow celebrities aren't immune from this
affliction—in fact, they are even more susceptible on account of their
frequent run-ins with the star.
It
might be easy to assume that one A-lister could cool it around another
A-lister. After all, they're all famous! They're all beautiful! They're
all successful! They know each other for Pete's sake. These people have met the Obama family and been perfectly composed, so what's a run-in with a Gosling?
Apparently, it's everything.
Just look at last night. The beyond venerable Meryl Streep,
who is still fresh off of delivering an incredibly impressive speech,
completely lost control of her faculties around Ryan. He looked so cute
that she just needed to ooh and ahh and scratch him under the chin, but because he is a man and not a puppy that she settled for fixing his bow tie.

But
we can't blame Meryl (can you ever blame Meryl for anything?), as she
is not nearly the first actor to behave in such a manner. Just earlier
this month, at the Golden Globes, Emma Stone
felt the same inclinations, except that she actually did give him a few
pets. He was being such a good boy, and looked so pretty, that he
really deserved this pat.

And
then we have fellow Famous Ryan (Reynolds, that is) at the Critic's
Choice Awards. Reynolds is normally a very suave and composed man,
assured of both his quick wit and his freakishly chiseled jawline. But
this interaction proves that no face is angular or scruffy enough to
compete with RyGos. Clearly what happened here is that a party
photographer shoved Reynolds into Gosling, with some sort of directive
about how the two Ryan's facing off during award season should pose
together.
And, sadly, all Reynolds could come up with was a
finger point. Sure, Gosling did the same, but his face is calm, cool and
collected, as if to say, Hey girl, I look great in photos even when I do the finger-point. Reynolds, on the other hand, has a face that say, Holy
crap can you believe I'm standing next to Ryan Gosling? And get a load
of how good-looking his face is! Also, am I doing the finger-point? My
vision is going fuzzy.

But Reynolds shouldn't be that embarrassed. Fellow A-list actor and occasional heartthrob Russell Crowe was so overwhelmed he could do nothing but hide.

Respected television host Ellen DeGeneres
has suffered likewise, unable to help herself on several occasions. Two
times in recent history she has interviewed Ryan Gosling, and two times
in recent history she has become so overwhelmed with emotion that she
jumped into his arms. The first time, the glee on her face was palpable;
you could feel the joy radiating off of her.

The
second occasion was just as much Gosling's idea as it was hers. Clearly
he realized he really enjoyed the feeling of celebrities not helping
themselves around him, and found himself disappointed in an Ellen
DeGeneres who held back. Luckily for both parties, it didn't take much
convincing for her to throw caution to the wind.

And finally, there is one Jane Fonda.
We don't really know what would happen if the comedian found herself
face-to-face with the real Ryan, but let's just say we can think this
picture provides all the evidence we really need.
