Ryan Gosling has had the internet laughing with a viral moment at the Critics Choice Awards after taking home Best Song for Barbie’s “I’m Just Ken.” The 43-year-old actor was visibly confused as his eyes darted to both sides, wondering if what he had just heard was reality. Millions are obsessed with his reaction, including his wife, Eva Mendes, who loved it.

The couple is very private, so fans always get a kick whenever they see any kind of adornment between them. “You should probably marry him,” quipped someone in the comments. “Behind every kind man, a great woman,” another wrote.
Ryan gushes over Eva Mendes

He made hearts swoon with his award speech at the Santa Barbara Film Festival on January 13. He reflected on the roles he’s had the opportunity to play throughout his career, “most recently thanks to Greta, a 70-year-old crotchless doll,” he said. “Most importantly, I got to meet the girl of my dreams, Eva Mendes, and have two dream children,” the father of two continued. The beautiful couple are parents to daughters Esmeralda, nine, and Amanda.
It’s not the first time he’s gushed about her in his speech. Back in 2017 when he took the Golden Globe for Best Performance by an Actor in a Motion Picture - Musical or Comedy for La La Land, he gave a rare look into their lives, and everything Mendes does for her family.
“I’d like to try and thank one person properly, and to say that while I was singing and dancing and playing piano and having one of the best experiences I’ve ever had on a film, my lady was raising our daughter, pregnant with our second, and trying to help her brother fight his battle with cancer,” he said.
“If she hadn’t taken all that on so that I could have this experience, it would surely be someone else up here other than me today. So, sweetheart, thank you. To my daughters, Amada and Esmerelda, I love you. And if I may, I’d like to dedicate this to the memory of her brother, Juan Carlos Mendes,” the Drive star concluded.
The old clip is making its rounds on the internet again, helping people believe in love again.
