In a recent interview, Ryan Gosling, the heartthrob actor who captivated audiences with his performance in “The Fall Guy” following his involvement with the Barbie project, opened up about his deliberate choice to steer clear of villainous roles in Hollywood. Despite being offered numerous opportunities to portray darker characters, Gosling has consistently declined such roles, a decision he attributes to his commitment to his family's well-being.
Married to actress Eva Mendes and a devoted father to their two children, Gosling's career decisions are deeply intertwined with his familial responsibilities. “I don't accept roles that will put me in a really dark place,” Gosling revealed. “When I go to my study to read and memorize, I go there thinking about what would be best for all of us. I need to act with awareness of this. I make decisions together with Eva. Because our priority is our family and I have to think about my family.”
Gosling's conscientious approach to his craft reflects his dedication to maintaining a balance between his professional pursuits and his personal life. While his latest project, “The Fall Guy,” generated significant buzz with its hefty $130 million budget, its box office performance fell short of expectations, raking in only $28 million in its debut week. As discussions surrounding the film's reception gradually gain momentum, Gosling's steadfast commitment to roles aligned with his values continues to underscore his status as one of Hollywood's most principled and discerning actors.
