Hollywood Stardom: Battle of the Ryans
The question of the decade, puzzling scientists, creatives, and all known species of animal with the brain capacity to calculate at least the first 5 digits of pi. Women, men, the other ones, we all have to face it nearly every day. It’s a well-known fact that once a year, every American citizen disrupts their nightly rest with this pervasive thought, eyes wide, forehead, armpits, and other body parts sweating profusely. We all find ourselves asking: who’s better, Ryan Reynolds or Ryan Gosling?
I’m here to tell you that this is not a simple question, and when you reach your answer, many will fight you on it. If you want to be prepared for the arguments that plague every adult’s life, you have to know the facts. I present: The Official Guide to the Ryans of Hollywood.
FUNNINESS (WHO’S GOT THE JOKES??)
Humor is complex and many would argue that what one finds funny is fundamentally linked to their psyche and the conditions of their early development. However, in today’s hustle and bustle, there is hardly time to look into all that (in addition, I have far too few qualifications for that junk). Instead, I have simply looked up my victims on Google’s Youtube and used the keyphrase: “Ryan ___ funny moments.” These out-of-context clips have given me vital insight into the type of stuff these guys like to joke about. So I present my findings… in infographic form.
R. Gosling:
R. Reynolds:
MEDIA
Both actors have been in a myriad of projects. I’m talking TV, movies, short films, plays, anything you could think of. I mean anything. Kidding, both actors have had long and very successful careers, but no man is complete without his faults. Without further ado: The Ryans’ media stats (information via Rotten Tomatoes, take it up with them movie lovers).
Mr. Gosling
Mr. Reynolds
STYLE
Ah, acting style, it’s so complex… and… uh, interesting. Just makes you wanna talk about it for (yawn) hours… Hm. Ryan Gosling acts subtly and sometimes funny, Ryan Reynolds acts goofy and sometimes serious. Now that that’s over, we can get into the real definition of style: out of context paparazzi photos! Let’s see those outfits fellas!
FASHION SHOW!!!
Wow look at him go!
Nice work Ryan, looking great!
