Burgeoning web personality and Gamecock enthusiast Joey Thompson bears a striking resemblance to Ryan Gosling’s chubby cousin and has for years been pegged as kinda/sorta looking like the guy from The Notebook, so he’s taken to YouTube to outline how he can transform into full Gosling in a few easy steps.
Joey rambles on for a bit at the beginning, but won me back over with self-deprecating Hillary Duff comparisons. If you’re in it strictly for the “How to Look Like Gosling” tips forward to 1:15. Spoiler alert: You pretty much need to look like Gosling to begin with, although just-right hoodie placement never hurt anyone. (Insert your own “Hey Girl, I like your Pink hoodie, did you get it at Victoria’s Secret?” line here.)
