A tall, lanky blond actor who began his career as a singer, Ryan Gosling steadily amassed an impressive resume in film and TV before finally breaking through with a powerful performance as a Jewish neo-Nazi in the based-on-fact “The Believer” (2001), the Grand Jury Prize winner at the Sundance Film Festival.
Born in Ontario, Canada, Gosling began his showbiz career performing with his older sister at local talent shows. After beating out some 17,000 other aspirants, he was selected to join the 1990s Disney Channel revival of the “Mickey Mouse Club” in 1993, joining a cast that included future singing superstars Christina Aguilera, Britney Spears and Justin Timberlake and JC Chasez of *NSYNC, as well as Keri Russell of TV’s “Felicity”.
By the time his last episodes aired in 1996 — he spent two years taping episodes that aired over a four-year period — Gosling could be seen in the story of preteen who tries to bring the Creature back to life in “Frankenstein and Me” (Disney Channel). That same year, he delivered a well-received turn as a British foundling in an episode of “The Road to Avonlea” (aired in the USA on Disney Channel), which brought him a Gemini Award nomination.

QC Reader Jake sent in some pictures of a purported Pete Wentz (bassist and primary lyricist for Chicago-based band Fall Out Boy) posing nude. The tattoos match, so we’re certain that’s him!
Westlife Boy Mark Feehily locks lips (and hands! Awww…) with boyfriend Kevin McDaid in their four-wheeled cabin!
Kevin was born on March 7, 1984 in Nigeria but was brought up in Newcastle. He was in the now defunct boy band V. In August 2005 he was introduced to the world as Mark’s long-term boyfriend when Mark revealed he was gay.
Mark said: “I want people to know the truth about my sexuality. I am gay and I’m very proud of who I am. I’m not asking for any sympathy, or to be a role model to anyone else.”
“I simply felt it was the right time for me to let people know the truth. I’ve never tried to hide who I am from anyone, but I’m a very private person and in the past I haven’t felt the need to say anything about my sexuality.”
Mark added: “I don’t think I owe it to anyone to go into details about my relationship. But I would like to say that I’m happy, and that I’ve found someone who is a real companion.”
“It does get lonely being on the road with the band sometimes and I’m very happy now I’m in a relationship with someone who makes me laugh.”
We wish Mark and Kevin all the best! =) Previously: Mark Feehily’s (Camel Toe) Bulge Mark Feehily’s Bulge
On Valentine’s Day, Willie Nelson released “Cowboys Are Frequently Secretly (Fond Of Each Other)” exclusively on iTunes. Sample lyric:
Cowboys are frequently secretly fond of each other
What did you think them saddles and boots was about?
There’s many a cowboy who don’t understand the way that he feels for his brother
Inside every cowboy there’s a lady that’d love to slip out.
“The timing’s right for it to come out,” the country icon said in a statement.
The song’s actually 25 years old. Now watch the music video.
(Thanks Geno!)
We guess it remains to be seen if Daniel Craig can fill the shoes of Bond, and if Pierce Brosnan’s the best till date. In the meantime, enjoy what he’s packing on location shoot.
