Ryan Gosling back to work

Actor Ryan Gosling, who has been lying low since becoming a father, stepped into the spotlight again to shoot for director Shane Black's conspiracy film "The Nice Guys".

Gosling finally stepped back into the spotlight on Friday, making his first public appearance since the birth of his daughter Esmeralda Amada. He and his wife, actress Eva Mendes, welcomed their daughter Sep 12.

Known as one of the Hollywood's biggest heartthrobs, the 33-year-old actor was sure to attract attention while returning to work on set of "The Nice Guys" in Atlanta, Georgia, reports dailymail.co.uk.

But the 33-year-old actor was in disguise, sporting a mustache and goatee beard to take on the role as Holland March, a 1970s private detective.

He was also wearing a retro-inspired suit, patterned blouse and striped tie.

He pulled his vintage look together with a dress belt, brown boots and squared aviators, as his dark blonde locks were combed back.
