George Clooney Is Essentially the Michael Jackson of Pointing, States Ryan Gosling

When Ryan Gosling finds a director he likes dealing with, friendship and future collaborations usually follow. The heroic star has already been working hard on follow-up films with 'Drive' director Nicolas Winding Refn and 'Blue Valentine' helmer Derek Cianfrance, and knowing from his new comments, expect if he teams with George Clooney again, too. In the end, Gosling thinks Clooney is "like Michael Jackson, essentially." Well, then! Inside a sprawling, must-read interview with Vulture, Gosling described why is Clooney -- his director within the approaching political drama 'The Ides of March' -- stand out. It had been amazing to look at him direct since it was like watching somebody attempt to explain an audio lesson within their mind. I'm able to only type of compare it to seeing Michael Jackson in 'This Could It Be,A where he's attempting to show a keyboard player how you can play a particular part and also the keyboard player is not setting it up right, and Mike Jackson just knows just how he wants this part performed, even just in the see of other areas being performed, he is able to pick that out. That's type of what George is much like. He's like Michael Jackson, essentially. The Gos: awesome enough to consult Michael Jackson as "Mike." 'The Ides of March' hits theaters on March. 7, however, you can catch Gosling like a real individual in 'Drive' beginning Friday. [via Vulture] Photo: Eric Charbonneau/WireImage
