    Real life superhero Ryan saved a journalist from an NYC car accident

    Real life hero Ryan Gosling has saved a British journalist from getting run over in New York City.

    Swoon.

    The streets of New York are a safer place when Ryan Gosling is around. Last summer he broke up a street fist fight and now he has saved a woman from being hit by a taxi in Manhattan.

    On April 3 at 6:28 p.m., writer Laurie Penny tweeted: 'I literally, LITERALLY just got saved from a car by Ryan Gosling. Literally. That actually just happened. I was crossing 6th avenue in a new pink wig. Not looking the right way because I am from London.

    'Ryan Gosling grabbed me away from a taxi. He did not say ‘hey, girl.’ He said ‘hey, watch out!’ Identity of no-idea-if-actually-a-manarchist-but-definitely-a-decent-sort Ryan Gosling confirmed by girl near me, who said ‘you lucky b*tch.’ (sic)

    Could we love Ryan Gosling anymore? He's stupidly handsome, funny, makes bad ass films, spends his off-hours saving confused journalists from certain death and, when he's not saving the lives of the British public, he's breaking up street fights.

    RYAN GOSLING BREAKS UP STREET FIGHT

    Last summer the Drive actor made headlines when he was filmed breaking up an altercation between two men who were arguing over a painting. The 31-year-old appeared out of nowhere (wearing a striped VERY tight tank vest with biceps bulging) and basically saved the day. Hero.
