Ryan Gosling has laid down the law when it comes to his girlfriend Eva Mendes. The 32-year-old-actor reportedly caused a scene at the Bowery Hotel in New York when a photographer, who recently shot Eva for a fashion spread, saw her and yelled out, “Hey, baby!”
Ryan was not impressed, with one eyewitness telling The New York Post he “completely flipped out and it got heated”.
“Ryan got in the guy’s face and said, ‘Who are you calling baby?’ Eva had to jump in and calm everyone down before it came to fisticuffs,” the witness reveals. “Ryan then made nice and shook the guy’s hand.”
Eva and Ryan, who have kept their relationship under the Hollywood radar since hooking up in September, were in New York for the premiere of their new movie, The Place Beyond The Pines.
The extremely private pair have done their best to keep their relationship secret and, at a party for the film the previous night, the two stayed well apart.
Ryan arrived with his mother as his date, while Eva arrived 45 minutes later than the rest of the cast.
“I didn’t see Eva and Ryan interact once,” a source at the party said. “They stayed at opposite ends of the room from one another.”
The couple even left separately.
