Gosling needed to clarify his position because he didn’t want his emotions misconstrued. Before meeting Mendes, he hadn’t given much thought to having children, but afterward, he knew he didn’t want to raise a family without her.

The opportunity to portray a family in The Place Beyond the Pines prompted this epiphany. For the crime/drama movie, Ryan Gosling and Eva Mendes played a family with a child, and it was during these scenes that Gosling’s outlook changed.

“When you asked me about Eva and kids. I think I said, I didn’t think about kids until she told me she was pregnant. That’s not really true. I didn’t want to overshare, but now I also don’t want to misrepresent. I mean, it’s true that I wasn’t thinking about kids before I met her, but after I met Eva, I realized that I just didn’t want to have kids without her.”

The Notebook star said he didn’t want their relationship to be fake any longer. Ryan Gosling wanted to leave the set and start a family with Mendes more genuinely. It was a profound insight, and he saw the good fortune that awaited him if he decided to take this path.

“And there were moments on The Place Beyond the Pines where we were pretending to be a family, and I didn’t really want it to be pretend anymore. I realized that this would be a life I would be really lucky to have.”

Gosling has matured as a person and partner, as evidenced by his admission that he wants a real family. His openness and honesty shine through as he discusses how his life changed after he met Mendes.

Ryan Gosling’s newest project is Barbie, a film directed by Greta Gerwig that has many people excited. Gosling was initially skeptical but became interested in the project for many reasons. Working with a group composed largely of women allowed him to demonstrate the value of featuring strong female protagonists.

Gosling’s time as a parent also piqued his interest in Ken, a character often overlooked in favor of Barbie. Gosling’s acting chops will be tested to their limits as he portrays Ken’s potential humiliations and vulnerabilities to achieve the film’s goal of striking a balance between humor and pathos.
