Who needs Ryan Gosling when we’ve got Gordon Pinsent?
That’s right, Goz. We’ve spent more time pining for you than we’d like to admit—but there’s a new man in our lives (at least for the moment). Allow us to gush over Gordon Pinsent—actor, musician, legend. The 81-year-old Canadian stage and screen icon recently charmed us with an interview in the weekend edition of the Globe and Mail. In it, the Newfoundland-born actor who has called Toronto home for more than two decades spoke of his upcoming album with Travis Good of The Sadies and Blue Rodeo’s Jim CuddyGreg Keelor (triple old-guy swoon!), 72-hour hangovers and the food at The Drake (his words: “The Drake is a damn fine place”). He also waxed nostalgic about the precious moments he and his late wife, universally beloved actress Charmion King, spent simply taking in the ever-changing city. Bless.

First of all, it wasn’t Jim Cuddy with whom Gordon did the record, its Greg Keelor…and secondly, Jim Cuddy is far from and “old guy” at 56 and I doubt he would appreciate the comment. Moron.
