Ryan Gosling wants to retire

London: Ryan Gosling insists he has no desire to be in the show business forever and would like to give up soon.

The 30-year-old actor, who began his career as a member of the 'All-New Mickey Mouse Club' when he was 12-year-old, is now keen on trying other things in his life but does not yet know when he will end his career, reports contactmusic.com.

"I've been doing this since I was 12. I don't want to act much longer. I can't do one thing my whole life. I know there are only so many characters I'll be able to play. It will be over whenever the inspiration dries up," he said.
