The 32-year-old star revealed he learned his new craft while filming his 2007 film Lars and the Real Girl and says the day he learned how to knit was the most relaxing in his life.
“If I had to design my perfect day, that would be it,” he told GQ Australia.
“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.”
And Gosling told the men’s lifestyle magazine that it was his nerdy obsession with the movie [expletive] Tracy that influenced him in choosing to star in Gangster Squad.
“It was fun,” he says.
“When I was a kid I was kind of obsessed with that movie [expletive] Tracy. Burger King had all this [expletive] Tracy stuff and I collected all of it, and I had the posters and I watched it on a loop.
