Hollywood god Ryan Gosling has always attached great importance to privacy, except for rarely talking publicly about his relationships, and basically does not live on social media.
Ryan Gosling and Eva Mendes met and fell in love since the 2011 film "Beyond the Pine Forest", and now have two daughters.
But the two have never publicly taken photos of their lives in the same frame, let alone posted children.
Recently, Ryan Gosling's role as the male protagonist Kenny in the movie "Barbie" has attracted much attention.
In interviews, he talked about balancing career and responsibilities as a father, and even rarer confided his love for Eva Mendes.
As a young man, Ryan Gosling saw acting as counseling or an opportunity to teach himself to know himself better.
In "Only God Can Forgive" (2013), he spent several months in Thailand before filming, training in Muay Thai at a training camp, but the director finally changed his mind.
Ryan Gosling recalled: "I don't seem to have punched once in the movie." But he ok: "I didn't make this movie for Muay Thai."
But that idea, or his lifestyle, changed when he and Eva Mendes had a child — the family lived in a quiet city in southern California, didn't hire a babysitter, and did everything on their own.
Ryan Gosling only receives one or two plays a year, bringing the whole family to the filming location when filming out of town, and he prefers to spend the rest of his time at home with his children.
The role of father is also what he found out he wanted to be when he was filming "Beyond the Pines", in which he and Eva Mendes play a couple with a son.
"When you asked me about Eva and the baby before, I think what I said at that time was that I didn't think about the baby before she told me she was pregnant."
"But that's not entirely true! Because I didn't want to overshare back then, but now I don't want to be misunderstood."
"I mean, I really didn't think about having a baby before I met her, but after meeting Eva, I realized that I just didn't want to have a baby without her."
"In some scenes of Beyond the Pines, we play as a family, but I don't want to just act. I also realized that it was a blessing for me to have such a life." Ryan Gosling said.
For his current life, he romantically said, "Everything has meaning."
When parenting problems arise that I don't know how to solve: Ryan Gosling says:
"I rely on Eva. She knew what was important, she knew it all the time, and she didn't know why she just knew. So if I have any ideas, I ask her."
