Ryan Gosling’s bizarre commitment to a 2007 character: “I know it sounds crazy”Given that Ryan Gosling is up there with the biggest movie stars on the planet right now, has an impossibly glamorous wife in Eva Mendes, and more cash than Scrooge McDuck at the start of that old cartoon, you wouldn’t imagine he’d live with a life-size sex doll, but that hasn’t always been the case. At the moment, you could put together a cogent argument for Gosling being the most in-demand male actor in Hollywood. He can carry a film single-handed, and mega-budget ones too, as this year’s excellent comedy sci-fi Project Hail Mary showed perfectly. Although audiences didn’t go crazy for the offbeat film, he put in a totally committed, Golden Globe-nominated performance. I know it sounds crazy, but Bianca became fascinating, and that’s why I have taken her home and put her upstairs.”
