Ryan Gosling has been acting the hero again. A British journalist is claiming that he saved her life when she almost stepped in front of a speeding taxi in New York City. Laurie Penny immediately took to Twitter posting: "I literally, LITERALLY just got saved from a car by Ryan Gosling. Literally. That actually just happened." She added: "I was crossing 6th avenue in a new pink wig. Not looking the right way because I am from London. Ryan Gosling grabbed me away from a taxi." It's not the first time Gosling has acted gallantly off set. In 2011 he broke up a street fight in New York, which was videoed by a bystander and later went viral.
