Addressing these reports, Ryan Gosling has opened up about his childhood years and the trauma he suffered, during several interviews. According to his interview withThe Telegraph, the actor claimed setting the family home ablaze and having a penchant for throwing the cat in the dryer. Admitting feeling like “going crazy as a kid”, Gosling added that there was “something messed up with my brain”.

Further, according to the papers, it was reported that Ryan Gosling’s father believed that the actor who was then 15, was “obligated” to repay him the money he spent on establishing a showbiz career for Gosling. Perhaps, this is why theBarbiestar mentioned his obsession with growing up, earning money, and getting done with this mess.
“I didn’t like the idea that my schedule was mapped out for me and I didn’t have much choice in the matter. I’m sure every kid feels that way but I obsessed over it, and if I hadn’t got out and started working, I’d be in a lot of trouble now. I’d probably be dead.”
As Ryan Gosling found his escapism in television, the actor therefore admitted taking the drastic step of trying a serious career rather than gigs, in showbiz. Traveling to Montreal to audition for Disney’sThe All New Mickey Mouse Club, Gosling started grinding his way up the ladder. Stepping out of his house and moving to Los Angeles at 16, Gosling started working on a variety of TV shows. Gradually hitting the headlines with his role inThe Notebook, Gosling eventually created a life he always dreamt of.
