Here's something you're not going to hear too many guys admit:  RYAN GOSLING loves to KNIT.

He says, "I did this scene in 'Lars and the Real Girl' where I was in a room full of old ladies who were knitting, and it was an all-day scene, so they showed me how.  It was one of the most relaxing days of my life.  If I had to design my perfect day, that would be it.  And you get something out of it at the end.  You get a nice present.  For someone who wants an oddly shaped, off-putting scarf."
