00:00 "I didn't try this suit on before I came out."
00:02 "And I realized that it's, it's so tight."
00:07 Welcome to WatchMojo, and today we're counting down our picks for the top 10
00:12 funniest Ryan Gosling interview moments.
00:14 "I forgot already what I'm doing."
00:15 For this list, we're looking at the best interviews with the Canadian actor that had us
00:21 cracking up. Which of these Ryan Gosling moments is your favorite? Let us know in the comments.

00:37 Ryan Gosling values his privacy. He largely remains tight-lipped about his personal life,
00:48 even managing to avoid answering some of Ellen DeGeneres' notoriously probing questions.
00:53 "What's one of your worst habits?"
00:55 "Not answering people's questions."
00:57 "Okay."
00:58 "Next."
00:59 In 2011, Gosling stopped by the Ellen DeGeneres show to talk about his indie romance drama
01:03 Blue Valentine. He was asked about a possible off-screen relationship with co-star Michelle
01:08 Williams. But luckily, there was plenty to distract from the awkward inquiry,
01:12 namely the constant pedaling on the exercise bikes supplied by DeGeneres.
01:16 "You're pedaling faster. What's happening?"
01:19 "I'm trying to get away from this conversation."
01:23 But the best and funniest part of the segment comes when Gosling changes into Jumpin' Jammers,
01:27 the new, wildly comfortable addition to his wardrobe. He's just so passionate about the onesies.
01:33 "I know there's like a novelty aspect to this."
01:36 "Yeah."
01:36 "But they're pretty comfortable, aren't they?"
01:39 "They're, they're…"
01:39 He even gifted the audience with their own onesies,
01:44 probably hoping to ignite a Jumpin' Jammers movement.
01:47 "Well it starts here, it's a movement."
01:49 "You're the style master."
01:49 "It's a Jumpin' Jammers movement."
01:50 "Number 9. Cellophane Salesman. One of our favorite things about Ryan Gosling is that
01:57 he is a hilarious storyteller with fantastic comedic timing.
02:01 "My parents came upon a truck of cellophane somehow."
02:06 In this Red Couch interview with Graham Norton, the actor shared possibly one of the oddest tales
02:12 from his youth. After mysteriously obtaining a massive supply of cellophane, his parents
02:17 encouraged him to start a little side hustle selling it at school.
02:20 "Put a few in my backpack and try and hawk 'em at recess, you know?"
02:23 It doesn't sound like the kid was too successful hawking the cling wrap,
02:28 but it sure made for a comical story. Gosling wisely left sales behind and pursued a career
02:33 as a performer, which we think was clearly the right decision.
02:36 "Did you sell it?"
02:38 "There's still some left if you're interested."
02:40 Number 8. Incorrectly Describing Spy Gadgets.
02:44 In the 2022 action thriller The Gray Man, Ryan Gosling played a CIA agent/assassin on the run.
02:51 While doing press for Netflix, the streaming platform decided to quiz the actor on his
02:55 ability to identify old-school spy tools. "So Netflix is testing my knowledge of
03:00 spy gadgetry to see just how much I picked up while playing one in The Gray Man."
03:04 But rather than blindly guess the name and function of each item in a serious manner,
03:08 he made up his own details and demonstrated his knowledge of, um, herbology.
03:14 "This is a spy grinder for spy weed."
03:21 Believe it or not, Gosling informs us that they all have a green-related purpose or link.
03:26 "These are spy weed dealers. A lot of people don't know that pigeons deliver the weed to
03:30 the spies because they can't be interacting with people."
03:33 His commitment to the gag is impressive and hilarious, as is his talent for coming up with
03:39 these false details and delivering them with such confidence. Maybe he was a history teacher
03:44 in another life. "This is not, I'm just telling you what I learned from my research."
03:48 Number 7. Uncontrollable Laughter with Harrison Ford
03:51 While promoting Blade Runner 2049, stars Ryan Gosling and Harrison Ford traveled across the
03:57 pond and sat down with Alison Hammond for ITV's This Morning. "It's a lovely day in London,
04:02 let's keep it that way." The British host is known for her fun, informal interviews with
04:08 big-name celebs, but this chat quickly descends into the best kind of chaos as the trio partakes
04:14 in some day drinking. We love to see the actors practically laughing themselves to tears. Gosling
04:19 is always effortlessly witty and chill, so we're not surprised he's having a blast.
04:24 "If they say don't meet your heroes, I would say don't get punched by them."
04:27 But over the years, Ford has earned a reputation for not always being the happiest interviewee,
04:33 so seeing him express genuine glee is such a treat. This is a video we have on repeat because
04:40 their laughter is absolutely infectious. "This morning?" "This morning, yeah, cheers."
04:46 "Water morning." Number 6. British and Canadian Snack Wars
04:50 With all of his serious acting roles, we love to see a relaxed Ryan Gosling,
04:55 and his appearance on Ladd Bible's Snack Wars series could not be more chill.
05:00 "Hi, I'm Ryan Gosling and this is Snack Wars for Ladd Bible, is that right?"
05:04 The Ontario native was tasked with trying Canadian and British snacks,
05:08 comparing the tastes, and choosing a winner for each round. Having learned the hard way
05:13 that the internet loves a meme, Gosling uses his jacket to hide his face for every bite.
05:18 "I don't want to create a gift factory here." Technically though, this very funny Dracula
05:23 move is rather gif-worthy. The charmer chatted and joked with the crew the whole time,
05:28 giving a serious FOMO. "You would house that right now?"
05:30 "She did." As always, Gosling had everyone chuckling at his thoughtful yet offbeat
05:38 comments about the array of treats. And let's not forget his destructive method of eating tea cakes.
05:43 "You can destroy it?" "Yeah." "And then enjoy it." "That's this new tagline."
05:48 Number 5. Getting Someone From The Audience During one of his visits to Conan,
05:55 Ryan Gosling shakes things up. "I sat in the audience once." "You sat in the audience of
06:00 a talk show?" "Yes." After he briefly recalls his past experience as an audience member on
06:05 an unnamed talk show, he proposes inviting a lucky fan to have a moment in the spotlight.
06:10 The actor brings someone named Linda on stage to take his seat, and shares some sassy talking
06:15 tips to spark a playfully antagonistic exchange between her and Conan. "I like your suit. Do
06:20 they make it for men?" Of course, this draws many laughs from the audience, and us. Ever the lovable
06:29 goofball, Gosling does this entertaining bit not to embarrass the guest, but to give her a
06:33 memorable experience. We say having Ryan Gosling whisper hilarious insults and one-liners into her
06:39 ear is something that Linda will remember for a long time. "This was going so well with Ryan,
06:44 and then you come up here with your hate and your anger. You sicken me."
06:50 Number 4. Tales from his dance troupe days. If there's one thing everyone knows about Ryan
06:56 Gosling, it's that he was on the Mickey Mouse Club in the 1990s, along with other future stars
07:01 like Justin Timberlake and Britney Spears. So he knew how to groove as a kid. "Apparently,
07:07 young dancers, they can be quite vicious." "It's a cutthroat business. I had to get out."
07:14 Graham Norton made sure we all saw this firsthand when he surprised the former
07:18 Mouseketeer with an old video of him in a dance troupe. "How old are you in this one?"
07:22 "Old enough to know better." Sitting next to his La La Land co-star Emma Stone,
07:28 Gosling talked about his time with Elite Dance Studio. Norton then played the hysterical video
07:33 of little Gosling in a shiny purple top and silver hammer pants showing off his serious moves.
07:38 We can't help but giggle as he cringes at his younger self. "It's perfect. I thought,
07:44 I have a vision for this number. Purple and silver hammer pants."
07:48 Talk show interviews can feel awkward and performative for some celebrities who don't
07:56 like to talk about themselves. "Who's this guy here?" "That's George." "Hey, George."
08:01 And while he may not consider himself interesting, we'd argue that Ryan Gosling is in his element
08:08 when being interviewed. In 2011, the masterful raconteur stopped by Late Night with Jimmy Fallon
08:14 with his buddy George. He hoped the pooch would make for a more amusing topic than himself.
08:18 "He's more interesting than I am, so I just thought it would be helpful." "No, that's not
08:21 true at all." But then Gosling recalled a harrowing visit to a Turkish bath that was not what he
08:27 anticipated. "Okay, I had some fantasy about it being something like, you know, like being waved
08:32 with palm leaves and fed grapes. And it's not that at all. It's just like a big hairy,
08:38 hairy Turkish guy that washes you with a bar of soap." The whole ordeal sounds uncomfortable
08:44 in more ways than one, particularly the belly invasion. "And he's trying to connect them like
08:50 this, and I'm in such pain, I go like that, and his belly goes in my mouth."
08:55 But at least it made for a super amusing story. Number two, puppy interview with Margot Robbie.
09:04 It's safe to say that the Barbie press tour of summer 2023 has given us many iconic moments.
09:10 One of the best was the BuzzFeed puppy interview with Margot Robbie and Ryan Gosling.
09:14 "Oh boy, here comes trouble."
09:17 Naturally, the two were easily distracted by the puppy pandemonium. But the Ken actor soon
09:25 directed his attention to breaking up the many fights between the pups, trying to act as a
09:29 mediator. "Should we intervene? Seems personal. Did they have beef? What happened backstage,
09:35 bro? What happened backstage, bro? Hey, dude, my dude, my dude, please." The interview also
09:43 revealed some information about Gosling, including his love of 90-day fiancé and seemingly a knowledge
09:48 of Joker memes. "You live in a society, bro." But it's hearing him continuously refer to the
09:54 brawling puppies as "bro" and "my dude" that will forever live in our heads rent-free, making us
09:59 cackle every time we remember it. Before we continue, be sure to subscribe to our channel

10:21 The Barbie movie, specifically Ryan Gosling's role as Ken, introduced a new word into the lexicon.
10:27 "I've had this Kennergy, if you will." Indeed, Gosling has been radiating Kennergy at every
10:34 occasion. It became clear to hosts and audiences alike that Gosling was fully dedicated to
10:39 embodying Ken in Greta Gerwig's Barbie. "I just decided I'm just gonna Ken as hard as I can,
10:44 you know? I Kenned in the morning, I Kenned at night. If I'm honest, I'm Kenning a little bit
10:50 right now." But after a photo of him in costume went viral, the internet unfortunately began
10:56 debating whether the star was fit to be Ken. In his signature dry humor, the actor addressed
11:02 the backlash on The Tonight Show, calling out the faux outrage and making us giggle in the process.
11:07 "I was surprised how, you know, some people were kind of clutching their pearls about my Ken,
11:12 as though they ever thought about Ken for a second." He won't stand for hypocrisy because
11:17 he has established himself as the historically ignored character's biggest hype man. We love to
11:22 see it. Did you enjoy this video? Check out these other clips from WatchMojo, and be sure
