Ryan Gosling: Day Off in Los Angeles

Making the most of some rare downtime, Ryan Gosling visited a friend’s house in Los Angeles yesterday afternoon (July 12).

The “Lars and the Real Girl” actor looked cool and casual in a ripped t-shirt with khaki trousers as he chilled out in his pal’s back yard.

And it seems that Gosling has been caught up in the crazy phenomenon of “Fifty Shades of Grey,” as he’s rumored to be the favorite for the lead in the upcoming film adaptation.

Ryan is just ahead of Irish heartthrob Michael Fassbender in the race to see who will play Christian Grey, a sadomasochistic sex master at the center of the ‘mommy porn’ books.
