Ryan Gosling calls longtime love Eva Mendes the 'girl of my dreams' during Santa Barbara Film Festival speech


Ryan Gosling gave the sweetest shoutout to his longtime love, Eva Mendes, and their two daughters at the Santa Barbara International Film Festival on Saturday night.

Gosling also acknowledged his early influences in film, from actors Charlton Heston, Yul Brenner, Goldie Hawn, to directors Cecil B. DeMille, Garry Marshall, and Stanley Kubrick. The role served as a personal turning point for Gosling, and he admits the prospect of parenthood didn't cross his mind until he met the Latina actress, who is seven-years his senior. The following year he would play legendary astronaut Neil Armstrong in biopic First Man before sidelining his career to spend more time with his family - a decision that he admits changed his attitude towards work.
