Esmeralda Gosling, Daughter of Ryan Gosling and Eva Mendes

Did you know that there was a time when Ryan Gosling was denied film roles because of his links to children’s TV and the stigma surrounding the genre? But he got past that by moving into independent movies and has since become a leading man with two Oscar nominations and a Golden Globe under his arm.

Gosling also married retired model and actress Eva Mendes, with whom he shares two children. The oldest is Esmeralda, born in 2014, who impresses with her daring creativity, like cutting the foot part of socks off to wear as sleeves. Gosling is currently filming a movie called The Gray Man.
