Ryan Gosling’s charm and humility have made him one of Hollywood’s most beloved stars, admired not only for his talent but also for his down-to-earth personality.

One memorable story from Toronto showcases why he’s considered one of the nicest actors in the industry.

During the Toronto International Film Festival, where Gosling was promoting a new movie, Joel Murray, owner of a small coffee shop called Grinder Coffee Gerrard, launched a creative campaign to invite him to visit.

As a devoted fan, Joel tweeted daily invites with the hashtag #ryanneedsgrinder for 10 days, encouraging the actor to stop by.

A cardboard cutout of Gosling was placed in the café, and customers eagerly posed for photos. The campaign gained traction, even receiving support from local media and Toronto’s mayor, John Tory.

On the final day, Gosling surprised everyone by walking into the coffee shop. He took photos, enjoyed a coffee, and chatted with visitors, leaving everyone thrilled.

Joel later revealed that Gosling’s mother, Donna, had encouraged him to visit after hearing about the campaign. Donna tweeted, “You can take a guy out of Canada, but not Canada out of a guy.”

This heartwarming gesture further solidifies Ryan Gosling’s reputation as Hollywood’s most genuine star.
