It’s been a while since we’ve seen our favourite Canadian crush, Ryan Gosling, out and about. Check him out handling paparazzi and fans better than anyone

Sighh…, I guess it’s a gratuitous candy kind of day! First it was an entire photo gallery topless Mark Wahlberg and his beautiful family, and now we’re looking at our favourite Canadian crush, Ryan Gosling, 31, out for a stroll in New York City.

I’ll give a a minute to *swoon*!

Seriously speaking, though, one of the things I love about Ryan is the way he handles his fame. He graciously accepts it and everything it comes — always. Sure, it can’t be great having paparazzi swarm you every time you leave your house. But it’s part of the territory. And, it’s part of the reason you get paid ridiculously big bucks as a celeb (generally speaking).

So when Ryan’s out walking, he doesn’t give the paparazzi the finger, or frown, or scream at them. He smiles. Or, well, he smirks. He gives us what we want.

And check him out with a fan….

It’s like, “Hey, how are you? I’m totally making your day right now, I know. But I’m just a regular guy.” RIGHT, Gorgeouses?
