Ryan Gosling has just unwittingly destroyed the internet, for the speech that he gave at this evening's Golden Globes 2017 has just reduced the entire Twittersphere into a puddle of melted hearts, tears and probably a few other bodily substances too... (exploded ovaries?!)

Taking to the stage to accept the award for best Male Actor in a Film, Comedy or Musical, the 36-year-old actor decided to thank his partner, fellow actress Eva Mendes.

And it will soon be turned into the feminist Ryan Gosling meme to end all other feminist Ryan Gosling memes.

Here is an exerpt:

If she hadn't have taken all of that on so that I could have this experience, it would surely be someone else up here other than me.'

And now, thanks to Ryan, the internet has thoroughly short-circuited.
