One of the most popular actors of today Ryan Gosling has decided to take a break from acting. This will be shocking news for millions of fans around the world but the reason behind this decision is that he feels he over-saturated the market. “I’ve been doing it too much,” he said. “I’ve lost perspective on what I’m doing. I think it’s good for me to take a break and reassess why I’m doing it and how I’m doing it. And I think this is probably a good way to learn about that. I need a break from myself as much as I imagine the audience does.” The good news is that we will still get to see him in two movies this year: The Place Beyond the Pines, which is to be released by April and Only God Forgives.
Gosling entered the entertainment industry when he was only 8, as a part of Disney’s Mickey Mouse Club with many other celebrities. The milestone in his career was the 2004 romance film The Notebook and he’s been on the rise ever since. However, he admits that it hasn’t been very easy for him. “There’s a lot of pressure to be the lead of a film,” Gosling said. “I have done it. It’s not my favorite way to work.”
