Good guys gone bad: From Ryan Gosling to Justin Timberlake

Last year, when Selena Gomez decided to ditch the niceties of “Wizards of Waverly Place” for bikinis, guns, booze and James Franco in “Spring Breakers,” we took a look back at when some other good girls decided to go “bad.” Now, it's the guys' turn.

Check out our list in the embedded gallery below.
