Ryan Gosling spoke about the break up heard 'round the world in next month's GQ. He is one half of the couple everyone (and I mean everyone) was rooting for. It's funny how he mentions how he is consoling the public when it should be the other way around.----On people who compare his relationship with Rachel to The Notebook:"I mean, God bless The Notebook. It introduced me to one of the great loves of my life. But people do Rachel and me a disservice by assuming we were anything like the people in that movie. Rachel and my love story is a hell of a lot more romantic than that."On breaking up with Rachel:"The only thing I remember is we both went down swingin' and we called it a draw."On how fans reacted to the split:"Women are mad at me. A girl came up to me on the street and she almost smacked me. Like, "How could you? How could you let a girl like that go?' I feel like I want to give people hugs, they seem so sad. Rachel and I should be the ones getting hugs! Instead, we're consoling everybody else."
