Ryan Gosling is a pretty stylish dude and we don't hate on dudes who take fashion cues from him, but how would you feel about someone who wants to physically resemble the movie star?

Nicholas Ryan, a 32-year-old New Jersey man, spent $5,000 on botox and filler injections in his slim face to make him look more like Gosling. But the strange thing is, Ryan wanted to get the surgery so he, an actor, could get more work. "He's got a look that a lot of people in America are looking for right now, especially in my line of work," Ryan toldDaily Mail.

But Ryan isn't the only dude who's trying to look like Gosling. Dr. Tim Neavin, the doctor who did Ryan's work, said that men bring in pictures all the time of Gosling in hopes that they can look like him, and Neavin doesn't blame them. "Gosling's face is what I call an 'architectural masterpiece' in terms of bone structure," the doctor said.

The actor admits, acting roles aren't the only reason he got the work done; he also wanted to improve his chances with the ladies. He might need to fix his crooked smile if he wants more success in that department, but if that fails, he can only always go back to the doc and get his balls ironed out. George Clooney would approve.
