“Oh, look, that Ryan Gosling fellow who never smiles is Sexiest Man of the Year,” I thought, till I looked closer and found it was his scruffier clone, Bradley Cooper (who I always confuse with gay/gray fox Anderson Cooper anyway). Now Anna Hathaway is engaged to someone named Adam Shulman, and damned if he’s not Ryan Gosling, too!
I am old enough to remember the 1970s, when everyone was John Davidson, and that was hard enough to get through. Wait till Anne signs the marriage certificate and says, “Wait, Ryan, what’s with this ‘Adam’ stuff?”
On Radar.com he is a dead ringer for Ryan Gosling, light hair and all–of course, I am a middle-aged lady, so everyone under 30 looks the same to me; but damned if they don’t all look alike: skinny, scruffy, long-nosed blondish guys.
Eve, I saw the exact picture you’re talking about, except it was on the Us cell phone app. He does look like Ryan Gosling, which is what all the comments discussed.
And I agree. If someone is duplicating that guy and handing out extras, I’d like to sign up for one too!
I can’t say that I see it. Bradley Cooper looks like Ryan Gosling? I hope Ryan doesn’t hear you say that or he might be insulted. I would, twere I him.
A GIS for all three tells me that Cooper and Gosling do look very much alike, and that Adam bloke in some of his pictures. I’d easily mistake the first two for each other.
In the 30’s/40’s you had actors with slicked back hair and little pencil thin mustaches on their upper lips. In the 50’s you had muscular guys in t-shirts with DA haircuts. In the 2000’s, you get the Ryan Goslings, with bland generic man-faces.
It helped to keep them classified: Robert Wagner, Warren Beatty, Troy Donahue, Tab Hunter, Dash Riprock, etc. in the spliced James Dean/Pat Boon section; adjunct from the Italian section: James Franciscus. Tony Franciosa. James Farentino.
John Davidson was in the blow-dried Mormon section with the Osmonds, the juvenile leads from Eight Is Enough, and Bert Convy as their token Jew.
I actually spat on my screen a little bit.
