"Anyone can get those if they work at it," Gosling said. "It's just a lot of exercising. And it's really quite pointless, because you go to a gym and you lift a heavy thing so a muscle grows, but the only thing the muscle can actually do is to lift that heavy thing."After a while they're like pets because they don't do anything useful. But you have to feed them and take care of them otherwise they'll go away. I feel a bit goofy having them, to tell you the truth", the Gangster Squadactor joked.

Too bad Gosling's abs aren't typically found at your local humane society. They'd be top sellers.
