Swoon! Ryan Gosling gushed over his “Lady” Eva Mendes – and dedicated his award to her late brother – during his acceptance speech at the 2017 Golden Globes at the Beverly Hilton hotel in Beverly Hills on Sunday, January 8.
“This isn’t the first time I’ve been mistaken for Ryan Reynolds, but it’s getting out of hand,” he quipped of the Deadpool star.
He went on to thank his costar Emma Stone and director Damien Chazelle before giving a sweet shout-out to his love Mendes.
Although the actress wasn’t in attendance, Gosling said that the musical rom-com wouldn’t have been possible without her.

The Big Short actor concluded his speech by honoring Mendes’ late brother, saying, “And if I may, I would like to dedicate this to the memory of her brother, Juan Carlos Mendez.” The Hitch actress’ older sibling passed away on April 17, 2016, at age 53 after a nearly two-year battle with throat cancer.
