Transformation

Hey Girl, you know you're a fan of Ryan Gosling. After all, who isn't? The Canadian-born Gosling got his start as a Mouseketeer before growing into one of the most respected (and most lusted after) actors of his generation—critically praised, Oscar nominated and, yes, meme-worthy. When it comes to his appearance, he goes Method for his roles, gaining weight, facial hair or abs (hello, Crazy, Stupid, Love) when necessary. Abs or no abs, we'll take him!

A blond, clean-shaven Gosling began to get critical attention for his role in The Believer.
