Ryan Gosling The Mormon

Ryan Gosling has been a Hollywood heartthrob for a while now, having been thrust into the spotlight since the 1990s as a child actor. His early roles include being a member of The Mickey Mouse Club, acting on Goosebumps and portraying the young Hercules.

Most people don’t know that he was raised in a strict Mormon family, and while his mother is different now, she admits that he was raised by a “religious zealot.” At age 16, Gosling moved to Los Angeles, leaving his mother’s religious rule behind. He found a place in Skid Row so he could be close to reality and far away from the glamorous Beverly Hills.
