La La Land star Ryan Gosling has seen his fame spiral in unexpected ways, landing his face everywhere, from viral memes to T-shirts – even on the top of a foamy latte.
The Canadian actor, 36, has inspired his very own artistic latte creation, which is being sold at a Los Angeles cafe, and is based on the actor’s viral ‘Hey Girl’ meme.
The unique drink is the brain child of the Carrera Cafe on Melrose Avenue, which uses a ripple machine to print any image onto a drink’s foam, including pictures of famed actor Ryan, who is proving to be quite the hot ticket as far as latte sales are concerned.

Seeing double: This meme went viral years ago displaying Ryan Gosling with a smoldering face, and the actor is yet to live the hype down as it returned to social media in the form of latte art
Indeed, Instagram has quickly become flooded with images of the hunky lattes – as well as the other wide variety of coffee art the cafe has created, from LA skylines with the phrase ‘City of Stars’ to cheesy ‘Good Vibes Only’ Instagram quotes.
Meme remakes and celebrity caricatures are also highly requested images for the artistic drinks.
But without a doubt it is Ryan and his ‘Hey Girl’ meme that have drawn the most attention, particularly from the ladies, who have taken to customizing the meme-covered coffees to suit their own personalities.
One photo the cafe featured on their Instagram page sees a latte with Ryan’s head and the caption, ‘Hey girl, I love it when you wear yoga pants all day.’
Another flick displayed the foamy drink with Ryan’s same meme face and just simple famous phrase, ‘Hey Girl.’
The cafe captioned the photo: ‘Ryan Gosling on your latte and our goat cheese salad for lunch? What else do you need?’
Another fan, meanwhile, opted not to follow the pack with the meme, and instead requested a more glamorous shot of Ryan for their drink of choice, purchasing a latte that featured an image of the actor giving a side-glance while decked out in a suit and bow tie.
‘This is all I’ve ever wanted,’ an Instagram fan admitted.
‘I’d be a morning person if I could have one of these everyday,’ another user added.
