Ryan Gosling, the Oscar-nominated Canadian star of Drive and The Ides of March has revealed he is to take a break from acting.
See more awards ». Plot: A quartet of international crooks (Peterson, O’Hara, Ross and Ravello) are stranded in Italy whilst their steamer is being repaired. With them are the an English couple, the Dannreuthers. The 6 are headed for Africa, presumably to sell vacuum cleaners but all is not as it seems.
Gosling, who recently signed up to direct his first feature film, the dark fantasy How to Catch a Monster, said in an interview with Associated Press that he needed to step away from his current profession for the sake of his own artistic equilibrium. 'I've lost perspective on what I'm doing,' he said. 'I think it's good for me to take a break and reassess why I'm doing it and how I'm doing it. And I think this is probably a good way to learn about that. I need a break from myself as much as I imagine the audience does.'
The news will presumably go down poorly with cinemagoers, for whom Gosling has become a much-loved cult figure. The former child star has appeared in six films in the past three years and has the Derek 'Blue Valentine' Cianfrance crime drama The Place Beyond the Pines and the Nicolas Winding Refn thriller Only God Forgives still to come in 2013. Known for playing offbeat, anti-macho characters and taking supporting roles, Gosling hinted at an increasing discomfort with being asked to appear centre stage. 'There's a lot of pressure to be the lead of a film,' he said. 'I have done it. It's not my favourite way to work.' He added, cryptically: 'The more opportunities I'm given, the more I learn about how easy it is to (expletive) it up. You fight for freedom and then you get it, and then you have enough rope to hang yourself. It's like trying to exercise some restraint, because I do have so much freedom.'
Beyond his next two films, fans of the on-screen Gosling will have an untitled Terrence Malick drama set against the backdrop of the Austin, Texas music scene to look forward to, with the enviable cast of Christian Bale, Natalie Portman, Rooney Mara, Cate Blanchett, Benicio del Toro and Michael Fassbender.
The 32-year-old actor is hardly the first well-known Hollywood figure to announce a break from acting. Three-time Oscar nominee Joaquin Phoenix trumpeted his retirement to embark on a rap career four years ago in what turned out to be a performance-art hoax as part of preparations for the Casey Affleck-directed mockumentary I'm Still Here. He was back in front of the camera last year for a critically acclaimed role as a troubled second-world-war veteran in Paul Thomas Anderson's The Master.
Oscar-winner Richard Dreyfuss also declared he was quitting the film business in 2004. The actor, then 56, told Radio Times: 'I want to do something else. I'll only live once and I am 10 years out of the hospital or retirement home.' Since then, Dreyfuss has appeared in five movies including the Oliver Stone George W Bush biopic W, in which he played Dick Cheney, as well as a number of TV dramas and mini-series.

Description
Having survived the hatred and bigotry that was his Klansman grandfather's only legacy, young attorney Adam Hall seeks at the last minute to appeal the old man's death sentence for the murder of two small Jewish boys 30 years before. Only four weeks before Sam Cayhall is to be executed, Adam meets his grandfather for the first time in the Mississippi prison which has held him since the crime. The meeting is predictably tense when the educated, young Mr. 'Hall' confronts his venom-spewing elder, Mr. 'Cayhall,' about the murders. The next day, headlines run proclaiming Adam the grandson who has come to the state to save his grandfather, the infamous Ku Klux Klan bomber. While the old man's life lies in the balance, Adam's motivation in fighting this battle becomes clear as the story unfolds. Not only does he fight for his grandfather, but perhaps for himself as well. He has come to heal the wounds of his own father's suicide, to mitigate the secret shame he has always felt for the ...
