If I were to tell you that Ryan Gosling is supposedly taking ballet lessons in his spare time for no other reason than that he decided he wanted to learn how to dance ballet, you probably would just be like, well, yeah. Of course he is. But, so, uh, Ryan Gosling is supposedly taking ballet lessons in his spare time for no other reason than that he decided he wanted to learn how to dance ballet. Of course. From the Times of India:
[Ryan Gosling] has enrolled in lessons, but is doing so purely for enjoyment rather than to prepare for a new movie role.
His private instructor Jaclyn Behtan said: “He’s not taking it to prepare for a role. He wanted to learn ballet. He said he loved it so much. It’s funny because he is such a dude’s dude. He’ll come in in basketball shorts, grab the bar and go.”
Although he is only taking classes for himself, the ballet lessons have paid off for the sporty star with Jaclyn revealing his basketball has improved as a result.
He is such a dude’s dude. You know how dude’s dudes are. Always wearing basketball shorts to ballet class and just grabbing the bar and going. Other dudes are just like “that dude is a total dude.” Such a dude’s dude. Glad to hear that the ballet is improving his basketball game, too. What are even talking about anymore? Does it matter? (Thanks for the tip, Kimberly.)

I’d buy it if it were James Franco.
Is he auditioning for Black Swoon? – all the girls on the internet
He’s already in Black Swan, and WHOOPS, turns out that homosexual experience he had with friend/rival Bradley Cooper was all in Thisismynightmare’s head!
“Just for fun,” my ass. If sitcoms are to be believed (and they are, always), he is only doing it to get closer to some girl in his class.
He’ll quit the night before the recital and show up during the last act and save the show. The girl won’t be in any other episodes after that though.
not if this guy gets there first!
oh what’s wrong, website? you don’t like hotlinking? I don’t need you.
Ryan Reynolds is taking ballet classes in India? This is all very confusing.
This is why I stopped reading American News sites. You want the real news? Check the Times of India.
umm…pictures please?
Uh, look up – there’s a picture right there! It looks so real!
If Ryan Gosling is going to be lifting his leg in basketball shorts, I should probably find my late registration form and hustle to class!
Is it possible that Ryan Gosling is some sort of robot sent from Skylab to end the human race? Seriously, every woman will become totally dissatisfied with all other men and procreation just stops. Seems plausible.
I totally read the statement: “…he is such a dude’s dude. He’ll come in in basketball shorts, grab the bar and go,” in a manner completely different than what was intended and maybe more in line with what I would expect someone to say about a guy who is taking a ballet class for fun.
That’s not grabbing, it’s adjusting. And considering what those male ballet dancers wear, I’m not surprised it’s necessary.
URGH! This asshole. He is straight up taunting me with his perfection. Fuck you Ryan Gosling.
Was Ryan Gosling in Fire in the Sky? Wasn’t he the lumberjack that got abducted?
I know the answer’s no, but at this point my brain has started placing him in other movies I’ve seen in the past, like he’s always just been in movies for as long as there have been movies. He’s like a Constant.
He was really good and stoic in The Untouchables. Underused in Midnight Cowboy.
I’m sorry, is Ryan Gosling trying to go to prison for being so graceful that certainly cannot be legal?
Ryan Kaun? Who’s that?
Ballet builds core strength and flexibility like nothing else. It is NOT weird for guys to do ballet and fuck you Gabe for the picture of his head superimposed on a ballerina’s body. Grow up.
…ryan gosling? is that you?
Relax, technorivenrock.
Dusted off a classic! Nice! I love it.
Is it widespread knowledge that the car Gosling’s Driver owns in the film- the blue one- Gosling himself put together while he and Refn were living together and working on the script?
Gosling really takes advantage of the opportunities his success has afforded him, and so far hasn’t done it in an annoying-James-Franco way. Right on, Ryan.
I, for one, am just excited for the “Hey Girl…” ballet themed Ryan Gosling tumblr that is sure to come…
Hey girl, let’s reject society’s heteronormative gender roles and take ballet together. Just grab the bar and go.
recte: barre
Brotip #307: Learn how to do something for no reason that other people learn how to do for good reasons.
Looks like he is going Demi Nelson on this one.
