“It’s our time as men to be on the receiving end of the stick,” Gosling, 35, said. “I grew up with women so I’ve always been aware of it. When my mother and I walked to the grocery store, men would circle the block in cars. It was very scary, especially as a young boy. Very predatory; a hunt.”

The Canadian actor has plenty of women in his life to be inspired by, with long-time girlfriend Eva Mendes and their two daughters, 18-month old Esmeralda and newborn Amada.

Of all questions, when asked what per cent women he is, Gosling thoughtfully responded, “I’d say 49 per cent, sometimes 47 per cent, it depends on what day you catch me.”
