Ryan Gosling

The ‘Notebook’ heartthrob has spent the majority of his life being surrounded by women. As a father of two - who shares daughters Esmeralda, seven and Amada Lee, six with wife and actress Eva Mendes – he’s learnt many things from his children and believes that women are the superior race.

He said: “It’s our time as men to be on the receiving end of the stick. I grew up with women so I’ve always been aware of it.

“When my mother and I walked into the grocery store, mine would circle the block in cars. It was very scary, very scary, especially as a young boy. Very predatory — a hunt. I think women are better than men. They are stronger, more evolved. You can tell especially when you have daughters and you see their early stages, they are just leaps and bounds beyond boys immediately.”
