Ryan Gosling is learning ballet

Ryan Gosling is taking ballet lessons.

The sexy actor is taking lessons simply because he wants to.

His private instructor Jaclyn Behtan said, “He’s not taking it to prepare for a role. He wanted to learn ballet. He said he loved it so much. It’s funny because he is such a dude’s dude. He’ll come in in basketball shorts, grab the bar and go.”

It sounds like he’s doing pretty well too.

“His turns have improved and he’s a really good jumper,” she said.
