Ryan Gosling: Not A Fan Of NYC's Turkish Baths

Ryan Gosling is in town, eating gyros and making tv appearances. Last night he told Jimmy Fallon: "Have you ever been to the Turkish bath? I had some fantasy about it, like being waved with palm leaves and being fed grapes. And it's not that at all, it's just some big, hairy Turkish guy who washes you with a bar of soap. And he was just washing me with this bar of soap and I'm like, 'Am I paying for this? This is terrible." You can watch the whole thing here and here, where he explains how the Turkish guy's belly came into contact with his tongue. Yeah, you're gonna wanna wash that down with a little bit of Hey Girl, featuring Ryan Gosling's contagious laugh:

And the grand finale: Gosling lifting Al Roker, Dirty Dancing style.

The Notebook sucked.

I don't know anything about this Ryan guy, except that I saw him in an episode of Breaker High once, but I have to say that even as a super-straight dude, I'd tap that.

This guy Ryan really has no integrity. I mean, he doesn't care who he has to squash along his quest for Matthew McConohay status. Take away business from the Russian Bathes, a beloved institution in the East Village for over a century? Sure. Piss on a hilarious website? Why not? No integrity. I can't wait till I see this guy in public. I'ma be like, "hey Ryan! You suck!". This guy is ground meat.

I don't anything about him except I saw him on Letterman the other night and he didn't seem too friendly. Dave asking him about his humble beginnings didn't help either.
