He has said, “My earliest memories were on the cattle stations up in the Outback, and then we moved back to Melbourne and then back out there and then back again. Certainly most of my childhood was in Melbourne but probably my most vivid memories were up there [in Bulman] with crocodiles and buffalo. Very different walks of life.”[5] He attended high school at Heathmont College[5]before his family again returned to the Northern Territory, and then moved a few years later to Phillip Island.[10]

I’d done nothing proactive.”[5]He graduated from Lake Stevens High School in 1997.[13]

Pratt dropped out of community college halfway through the first semester and, after working as a discount ticket salesman and daytime stripper, he ended up homeless in Maui, Hawaii, sleeping in a van and a tent on the beach. He told The Independent, “It’s a pretty awesome place to be homeless. We just drank and smoked weed and worked minimal hours, just enough to cover gas, food, and fishing supplies.”[5][14] He recalled listening to the Dr. Dre album 2001 daily, to the point where he knew every lyric; years later, he rapped Eminem‘s verses from the song “Forgot About Dre” extemporaneously during an interview.[15] During his time in Maui, he worked for Christian missionary organization Jews for Jesus.[16]

Early life

Ryan Thomas Gosling was born on November 12, 1980, at St. Joseph’s Hospital in London, Ontario,[1] the son of Thomas Ray Gosling, a traveling salesman for a paper mill,[2] and Donna, a secretary.[3][4] Both of his parents are of part French Canadian descent, along with some German, English, Scottish, and Irish.[5][6] He and his family were members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints,[7] and Gosling has said that the religion influenced every aspect of their lives.[8] Because of his father’s work, they “moved around a lot”[2] and Gosling lived in both Cornwall, Ontario[9] and Burlington, Ontario.[10] His parents divorced when he was 13,[11] and he and his older sister Mandi lived with their mother,[3] an experience Gosling has credited with programming him “to think like a girl”.[12]

Gosling was educated at Gladstone Public School,[13] Cornwall Collegiate and Vocational School and Lester B. Pearson High School.[14] As a child, he watched Dick Tracy and was inspired to become an actor.[15] He “hated” being a child,[8][16] was bullied in elementary school,[17] and had no friends until he was “14 or 15”.[18][19] In grade one, having been heavily influenced by the action film First Blood, he took steak knives to school and threw them at other children during recess. This incident led to a suspension.[16] He was unable to read,[20] and was evaluated for attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), but was not diagnosed with it and, contrary to false reports, never took medication.[21] His mother left her job and home-schooled him for a year.[22] He has said homeschooling gave him “a sense of autonomy that I’ve never really lost”.[8] Gosling performed in front of audiences from an early age, encouraged by his sister being a performer.[23] He and his sister sang together at weddings; he performed with Elvis Perry, his uncle’s Elvis Presley tribute act,[24] and was involved with a local ballet company.[25] Performing boosted his self-confidence as it was the only thing for which he received praise.[19] He developed an idiosyncratic accent because, as a child, he thought having a Canadian accent did not sound “tough”. He began to model his accent on that of Marlon Brando.[26]He dropped out of high school at age seventeen to focus on his acting career.
