Ryan Gosling is…amazing, in every sense of the word.  Earlier today, he helped break up a fight between a street artist and a thief who made off with his painting.  The artist managed to tackle the perp in the middle of a New York street, and Gosling came over to help separate the heated men.  A witness told Us Weekly, “Before it got too violent a stranger appeared to separate them. [The stranger] was Ryan Gosling! He was trying to understand the situation while keeping them from hurting each other.”

Gosling had both men explain what happened, and the painter explained that the vagabond grabbed a $10 painting of his.  “Ryan gave him a $20 and said, ‘Does this cover what the man owes you?’ The painter thanked him and said yes,” says the witness. “Ryan said good, and continued on his way.”
