Ryan Gosling Twitter Birthday Return

Ryan Gosling turned 35 today, and as a reverse birthday present to everyone, he returned to Twitter after a 100-day hiatus. But he didn’t just come back to say, “Happy Birthday to me.” Gosling resurfaced to give a shout-out to Bernie Sanders by asking his followers to share a video of the presidential candidate. This seemed like a bizarre birthday boy endorsement to us. What was even more bizarre was his second tweet in 100 days: a follow-up to clarify that this was not a Sanders endorsement. Hmm. Maybe he just really loves the video's cinematography?

For my birthday... Could you do me a solid and pass this around? https://t.co/EByak8o1Vi

Gosling has had an on-off relationship with twitter — meaning an emotional rollercoaster for us — but his return shows a positive new pattern. Last time he was gone for two years. So, in honor of his comeback, we’ve put together some of the actor’s Twitter-career highlights.

I'm not endorsing a political candidate btw. It's more the talking and listening I'm a fan of.

(The non-endorsement follow-up.)

Obviously sweatpants thing was a joke. Wearing them now. That's right, tweeting in sweatpants. Rats! Said too much! You win again Twitter.

This tweet came out of nowhere. He only qualified it by saying he wasn’t kidding – about the sweatpants…

Obviously I just figured out how to retweet. I'll get on top of this.

This came after months of actively retweeting other messages about his directorial debut movie, Lost River. IDK what he thought he was doing before, but at least he’s happy.

This is from that time Gosling tweeted a slew of Vimeo links that don’t exist. I would LOVE to know who the Godfather of Cincinnati is and watch that doc.

Gosling (who claims to avoid the Internet), created a whole Vine video in retaliation to the Internet’s suggestion that he won’t eat his cereal…

Everyone likes a cute pun every now and then…

Go see #LostRiver with your husband, make sweet sweet love to him after, tweet me in the morning. You're welcome. https://t.co/fDG0GpSd7o
— Ryan Gosling (@RyanGosling) April 11, 2015

In fairness, he was given a pretty bizarre lead question, but this is a helluva twitter rejection if ever we saw one.

Great https://t.co/mun4V1BItW

Care to elaborate?

I'm still not convinced that "Featurette" isn't just a shaming word we give to trailers to sexualize and objectify them.
— Ryan Gosling (@RyanGosling) March 27, 2015

That time he was a feminist.

OK, am I tweeting too much now? What's the twitter etiquette?! Mondo poster for Lost River by artist Jay Shaw. pic.twitter.com/fzoHYPC8XX

Hey Ryan. You were gone for two years. Not really over doing it, don’t worry.

Obviously sweatpants thing was a joke. Wearing them now. That's right, tweeting in sweatpants. Rats! Said too much! You win again Twitter.
— Ryan Gosling (@RyanGosling) March 20, 2015

I would argue that Ryan Gosling is winning the battle against Twitter. And the Internet.
