When Cal (Steve Carell) meets ladies man Jacob (Ryan Gosling) he&#8217;s just ended a 25-year marriage with his wife Emily (Julianne Moore) and needs someone to get him back into the swing of being a bachelor.<\/p>\n<p>Once Cal gets past the initial, and somewhat unlikely, phase of bagging a bunch of babes, he finds he&#8217;s still longing for his Emily. Complicating things further is Jacob finding his own soul mate in Hannah (Emma Stone), thus leaving Cal without guidance. It all comes together in a crazy, stupid way by the end, and Mr. Gosling sat down with us in New York to discuss the role of Jacob, a major departure after the hyper-seriousness of last year&#8217;s &#8220;Blue Valentine.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Gosling spoke to Blackfilm.com about his role in the film.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Is it possible for an alpha male to find one soulmate?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>GOSLING:<\/strong> Those are two things I know nothing about.<\/p>\n<p><a rel=\"attachment wp-att-11094\" href=\"https:\/\/www.blackfilm.com\/read\/2011\/07\/crazy-stupid-love-ryan-gosling\/ryan-gosling-1\/\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-expand=\"600\" class=\"lazyload alignright size-medium wp-image-11094\" title=\"Ryan Gosling 1\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;charset=utf-8,%3Csvg xmlns%3D'http%3A%2F%2Fwww.w3.org%2F2000%2Fsvg' viewBox%3D'0 0 253 300'%2F%3E\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.blackfilm.com\/read\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/07\/Ryan-Gosling-1-253x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"253\" height=\"300\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>Do you have one?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>GOSLING: <\/strong>Yeah, it&#8217;s my dog.

I do feel better, so I think he was right. That in tandem with I just love Steve Carell, always wanted to work with Steve. When I first moved to Los Angeles I did a pilot, was 17, had a small part, so did Steve. We didn&#8217;t get to work together but he was so funny I would go to set just to watch him work. One time the boom guy just threw down his mic and had a laughing attack in the corner in the middle of a take. It was the first time I worked with someone who was so good it was a problem. I became a huge fan the. I watched him on &#8220;The Daily Show,&#8221; I watched all his movies. Eventually I got this opportunity to work with him so I decided to jump at it. I didn&#8217;t really think of it as a conscious choice to do a comedy, although the prescription was looming there in my subconscious, but I really wanted to work with Steve. I would have done anything to work with him.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Were there times with this character that you felt like you were taking on your &#8220;Hey Girl&#8221; internet meme, playing the lothario?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>GOSLING:<\/strong> That&#8217;s so funny.

What do you think the film says about modern notions of masculinity?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>GOSLING: <\/strong>One of those questions\u2026 For me, what resonated was that all the love stories grow out of friendships in the film, which I thought made it different in some way because it wasn&#8217;t perpetuating this love-at-first-sight idea. These friendships would start first then maybe it would turn into something else. That&#8217;s how we approached those bar scenes. The idea that cheesy lines don&#8217;t work and bar banter is lame.
