Ryan Gosling's Mixed Martial Arts Training





Looking to brush up on his fighting skills, Ryan Gosling was spotted attending a Mixed Martial Arts class in Hollywood yesterday (December 28).

The “Lars and the Real Girl” stud looked a bit worn out after his training, but made sure to stop into a nearby MMA store to pick up some workout clothes.

In related news, Mr. Gosling is joining forces with Emily Deschanel, Zooey Deschanel, Alicia Silverstone, and Bryan Adams to ask McDonald’s to switch to using only free range eggs.

Their open letter states, “While MCDonald’s has already established a 100 per cent cage-free purchasing policy in Europe, your US restaurants continue to support egg factory farms that confine hens for most of their lives in cages so small they can’t even spread their wings, nearly anything that comes naturally to them. Common sense tells us that animals with legs and wings should be given the basic freedom to move.”

“Sadly, there is not a single federal law to protect hens from cruelty from the time they hatch to the time they are killed. While McDonald’s brags about the ‘billions and billions served,’ millions of hens exploited for your restaurants are being grossly underserved. In fact, these animals are being abused in ways that would land your egg suppliers in jail, if dogs or cats were the victims.”
