    Ryan Gosling's Leading Ladies

But being as beautiful as the Gos presents him with a very real problem: He needs to be surrounded by equally attractive women to balance out his beauty, lest the universe be sent into an irreversible tailspin.

We've compiled a list of Gosling's lovely leading ladies, starting back in his younger years and continuing into the present day.

  • Kelli Garner/A RealDoll
    Gosling's character in 2007's "Lars and the Real Girl" had a social disability which made it hard for him to connect with women, especially a co-worker played by Kelli Garner. He instead developed a romantic relationship with a life-size sex doll. Garner's other credits include "The Aviator," "Thumbsucker" and the ABC television series "Pan Am."

  • Michelle Williams
    Williams co-starred with Gosling in 2010's tragic love story "Blue Valentine." In order to bring realism to their performances, the film's director insisted that the two leads move in together, along with their onscreen daughter, and live as a family between filming schedules. It worked, and Williams was nominated for an Academy Award. (She also co-starred with Gosling in 2003's "United States of Leland," though they didn't share any scenes.)
