Ryan Gosling Was Raised by His Mother

"I think like a girl," admitted Ryan Gosling in a recent interview. The actor who inspired the "Hey Girl" meme says that's because he was brought up by his mother and sister following his parents' divorce. Ryan explained, "I was literally raised by my mother and my sister. And I just feel like I wouldn't know how to think any other way."

Ryan continued with super sweet words about his sister Mandi, "My sister was my best friend and my hero growing up." And he wasn't shy sharing this potentially embarrassing detail, "Because I was home-schooled I didn't have a lot of friends and I did ballet, which was always just girls." If you're hoping for a Gosling spotting, you might want to hit up a dance studio. The actor is still drawn to ballet and practices whenever he can. As for his fellow ballerina classmates, he says, "A lot of the students are young girls so they're there with their mums but they just kind of watch and tell me to keep it up." I'm sure they do! In honor of Ryan's sweet words for the women in his life, take a look at some of his red-carpet moments with his mom Donna and sister Mandi.
