The Photos Of Ryan Gosling In Cannes That We've Been Waiting For

You might want to sit down for this…

Ryan Gosling has arrived at the Cannes Film Festival looking smouldering. Deep breaths, very deep breaths.

Our favourite dreamboat was seen promoting his directorial debut film, Lost River, at the photo call earlier this afternoon.

While the actor doesn't appear in his new film, we're more than excited to see what the leading man can do behind the camera.

Lost River (originally called How to Catch a Monster) stars Matt Smith, Christina Hendricks, Saoirse Ronan and Eva Mendes (interesting to note that his girlfriend of three years isn't with him at Cannes, don't you think?).

Looking totally unphased by the attention, Gosling completely killed it in a striped pale blue shirt and brown trousers.

Now for the red carpet premiere tonight...
