WE WANT HOT COFFEE GOSS!&#8221; Know that I have heard your supplications for the tawdry. That&#8217;s why today I&#8217;m happy to present you with a hot Gos. Getting coffee. Canadian heartthrob Ryan Gosling recently took time out of his busy day being super famous to visit a coffee shop in Toronto.<\/p>\n<p>Now, this story is a little more heartwarming than&#8230; other area warming. According to <a href=\"https:\/\/people.com\/food\/ryan-gosling-toronto-cafe-grinder-twitter-campaign-tiff\/\">People<\/a>, the film star was in town to premier his new movie, <em>First Man<\/em>, at the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tiff.net\/\">Toronto International Film Festival<\/a>. Joelle Murray, owner of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/GrinderCoffeeGerrard\">Grinder Coffee<\/a>\u2014not Grindr Coffee, which is unfortunate, because that would have really given this story some zip!\u2014took this as the perfect opportunity to lure in the megastar with the cafe&#8217;s <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/search?q=%23RyanNeedsGrinder&amp;src=typd\">#RyanNeedsGrinder<\/a> campaign. The plan was: for one week, the shop would post photos of a cardboard cutout Gosling enjoying some coffee at the shop, probably dust off a few &#8220;Hey Girl&#8221; memes, and use the hashtag. Well, the plan worked better than expected; patrons\u2014including the not-Rob Ford mayor of Toronto\u2014began posting photos with the fake Gosling, and the whole thing became this <a href=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/search?q=ryan+gosling+coffee+toronto&amp;oq=ryan&amp;aqs=chrome.2.69i57j69i59l2j69i60l3.2288j0j4&amp;sourceid=chrome&amp;ie=UTF-8\">big viral sensation<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Then, on Day Eight, when it seemed like the ultimate goal wouldn&#8217;t be achieved, relegated to the depths along with an unsuccessful attempt to get Idris Elba into the shop the year previous, ultimate nice guy, <em>THE<\/em> Ryan Gosling, showed up unexpectedly to Grinder Coffee. As you can see from the photo below, Murray is pretty excited. Gosling remains handsome as ever.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">And this happened&#8230;  <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/ryanneedsgrinder?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#ryanneedsgrinder<\/a> worked.
