Gosling Goes Beserk: Ryan Freaks Out After Photographer Calls Eva Mendes ‘Baby’

Ryan Gosling, not only is he drop dead gorgeous, he’s also an incredibly overprotective boyfriend. Well, if this story is anything to go by.

Celebrity Gossip website RadarOnline.com reports that Ryan got a little hot under the collar in New York when a fashion photographer shouted ‘Hey baby!’ at Ryan’s girlfriend, Eva Mendes.

We should probably mention that the photographer had recently shot Eva as part of a photo spread for a magazine, so chances are he was familiar with her. However, Ryan saw red and went mad.

Ryan and Eva have been dating since September

“Ryan completely flipped out, and it got heated,” said an eyewitness.

“Ryan got in the guy’s face and said, ‘Who are you calling baby?’ Eva had to jump in and calm everyone down before it came to fisticuffs. Ryan then made nice and shook the guy’s hand,” the eyewitness added.

The couple, who have been dating since September, were in New York for the premiere of their new film The Place Beyond the Pines.
