    Hey girl. Ryan Gosling would do a lot for you, but that does not include robbing a bank.

    The 31-year-old star of "The Place Behind the Pines," in which he plays a bottle-blond motorbike stuntman who considers robbing a bank, has admitted that in this case, life would never imitate art.

    "It's always been a fantasy of mine to rob a bank, but I'm scared of jail!" Gosling told Extra at the film's premiere at the 2012 Toronto International Film Festival last week, where he posed with girlfriend Eva Mendes for the first time along with sexy co-star Bradley Cooper.

    The London, Ont. native also told Movieline: "If I was going to do it, I would do it on a motorcycle then drive up into a U-Haul. That's how I would get away with it."

    But some would argue that Gosling has everything, so why is robbing a bank a "fantasy" of his?

    "There's just all this money there, and some people are walking in with more than others," he said.

    Of course, that doesn't mean Gosling thinks you should hurt people to get to it.

    "I'm not promoting this idea, but I would say don't use a weapon if you're going to do it," he told the movie mag. "It's just safer all around and less time in jail."
