In a recent interview and shoot for Variety, Ryan Gosling paid homage to the great influence that inspired him to become an actor: Animaniacs.

After asking to do his photo shoot for the publication on the Warner Bros. water tower, the Oscar nominee explained that the animated series was the reason behind his desire to act.


Gosling is actually terrified of heights, but he wanted to honor the show that "planted" the acting bug in him.
