'I think women are better than men': Ryan Gosling reveals his two daughters are 'leaps and bounds beyond boys'

Feminist: Ryan Gosling, 35, has claimed having girls has proven to him that females are 'more evolved' than their male counterpart

He recently welcomed his second daughter into the world.

And Ryan Gosling, 35, has claimed having girls has proven to him that females are 'more evolved' than their male counterparts.


In an interview with ES Magazine, The Nice Guys star explained: '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.’

His respect and appreciation for women stems back to his childhood and has followed him into his current home life.

‘I’ve always liked women more,' he revealed. 'I was brought up by my mother and older sister. I found my way into dance class. My home life now is mostly women. They are better than us. They make me better.’

And when it comes to a female in the White House's Oval Office, he simply said: ‘I think it needs a woman’s touch.’

On April 14, it was claimed that Ryan and Eva Mendes were expecting their second child, and Eva gave birth to Amada in Santa Monica two weeks later.

Much like with 18-month-old Esmeralda, the star kept both the pregnancy and birth of her second child under wraps.

Amada is the name of Eva's grandmother, and means 'beloved' in Spanish. It's also the name of the character the actress played in the 2007 movie We Own The Night.

Ryan has been hot on the promo trail for his latest film The Nice Guys which he stars in alongside Russell Crowe.

The film sees Crowe play a contract killer to Gosling's private investigator, with the pair working together to solve the mysterious disappearance of a porn star in 1970s Los Angeles.

It has won rave reviews from film critics across the world and is expected to do well commercially too, with projected takings of around $10 million on its opening weekend in the US.

Filming for the movie began back in late 2014 in Atlanta and Decatur, Georgia, and additional filming took place in Los Angeles.

Ryan recently revealed he quit smoking after he unexpectedly gassed himself on lung-damaging fumes while shooting the film, in which he portrays chain-smoking private investigator Holland March.

He explained: 'I use to [smoke], but in this movie I smoked myself out. I never want another cigarette again!

'It really is the greatest way to quit - it's hard to come by - you really have to get a film where you have to smoke all the time, but I highly recommend it if you are trying to quit.'
