Video: Ryan Gosling Breaks Up a Fight in NYC!
Ryan Gosling to the rescue!
The 30-year-old actor saved the day Saturday. As captured in a video taken by Valeria Alvea, The Notebook star broke up a fight near New York City's Astor Place.
"There is a man who sells paintings [that] he makes on that corner," a witness Us Weekly. "This older man ran by him and tried to grab and run away with one of his paintings. The painter was able to stop him before he took off with him and tackled him to the ground."
The two men got up and started arguing. "Before it got too violent a stranger appeared to separate them," adds the source. "[The stranger] was Ryan Gosling! He was trying to understand the situation while keeping them from hurting each other."
PIC: Whoa! Ryan goes bleached blonde
Gosling took the two men "to the corner of the street, like a chaperone," says the witness. He had them explain the story, but things began to escalate again quickly. "Ryan put a stop to it, then he asked, 'How much is the painting?'"
The painter told Gosling it was $10. "Ryan gave him a $20 and said, 'Does this cover what the man owes you?' The painter thanked him and said yes," says the witness. "Ryan said good, and continued on his way."
Tell Us What You Think
13I think thatwas good thimg to do .us as older citizines ,are targeted everydat while people just stand and watch.Thank you for defending one of us.
That was a "CRAZY STUPID MOVE" . NO ONE SHOULD ever attempt to break up a street fight- especially in NYC!!!!!
I think it is very honorable that he helped to squash this. The girls on the other hand, no one is saying you should jump into the altercation but the fact that the first action to jump into their mind was to film this is pathetic and unfortunately shows how a lot of people are nowadays. Gotta get some new footage to put on youtube.
Ryan Gosling is so impressive,in so many ways.He had no idea someone was filming that,it wasn't for publicity,he's just a great guy.
Good job Mr. Gosling... as for the girls shame on you for laughing at the two men involved in the fight. I just hope the two girls didn't ask for autographs...that is so wrong on many a level.
And of course the two morons taping this whole thing are sitting back and instead of trying to do something to break up the fight or call the cops, they're like "OMG OMG OMG OMG it's the DUDEEEEEEEEE from the NOTEBOOK." MORONS!!
How stupid are these girls that they are laughing? As for Ryan: great job!
Go Ryan!!! (-_-) He's like a superhero. >_
How sad is it that these girls would videotape a fight and laugh about it as it's happening??
He rules in every way. Of course the girls are screaming "omg it's The Notebook guy!" I wish he got more recognition for his other work, 'cause he's so damn good.
Yay for Ryan! I've always loved him anyway.
TOTAL SWOON! What a down to earth guy, thats refreshing!
yep totally had to watch that with the sound off, two seconds of those girls giggling like morons was enough to make my ears bleed.
