The dreamy and extremely private actor Ryan Gosling is celebrating his first ever-brand partnership with Swiss watch brand TAG Heuer. He is regarded as one of the finest actors can deliver the entire story to the audience with one stare into the camera, and in an interview with GQ, he discussed his life during the pandemic with his partner Eva Mendes and their children.

TAG Heuer CEO Frédéric Arnault said in a statement. "The movie Drive represents the strongest link with who we are today, and we are excited about the creative projects we have together".  Arnault also shared that Ryan mentioned during a conversation that if I work with you, I want to do a watch for design and artist reasons. The CEO last added that when he shot the pictures for the announcement, he presented the brand with a mood board of his own.

Talking about his partnership, Ryan mentioned that it was easy because Tag is such an iconic brand. The actor added I've been a fan for a while. At that technical level, they've been innovators and leaders for over 160 years. So that made it easier, too. And then, on a personal level, I think about time more than I used to. I have two kids, and they're growing up fast. So I keep my eye on the clock more than I used to."

Ryan said that our kids are young, so it was a 'tough time' for them to be separated from other kids and not be able to see their family and other people around them. He added that Eva and he did a pretty good job of keeping them occupied and entertained during the time when the world was shut down.

Ryan and Eva have been together since 2011 and have two daughters, Esmeralda Amada, 7-years-old, was born in 2014 and Amada Lee, 5-years-old, was born in 2016. The 40-year-old actor jokingly said that there was no sourdough baking involved in the process to entertain the kids. "I think Eva and I did more acting in quarantine than we have in our whole careers," the actor added.

Explaining more about the ‘entertainment’, Ryan stated, "really dramatic bedtime stories with the voices. Yeah, we spent a lot of our time just doing that." The Notebook actor shared that for his first Father’s Day, the actress Eva Mendes got him a watch, which he saw as a symbol meaning that you’re on the clock now.

Eva Mendes once said in an interview with Access Daily how both rewarding and difficult parenting is. "It’s so fun and beautiful and maddening. It’s so hard, of course. But it’s like that feeling of…you end your day, you put them to bed, and Ryan and I kind of look at each other like, ‘We did it, we did it. We came out relatively unscathed.’"

The successful actors, Ryan and Eva, have always preferred to keep their family life private. The actress revealed last year that she's "always had a clear boundary" when it comes to her husband and children. "I'll talk about them, of course, with limits, but I won't post pictures of our daily life. And since my children are still so little and don't understand what posting their image really means, I don't have their consent. And I won't post their image until they're old enough to give me consent."

Back in December, Eva too had opened up about facing her "mom pandemic guilt". She confessed a month later that her daughter had called her out for being on the phone too much. "I could tell she was taking it personally. And she’s a kid. Of course, she’d take it personally. They take things personally unless we go out of our way to make it clear to them, it’s not personal. I apologized, and I promised her I’d be mindful. I realized that just because I’m always home with them doesn’t mean I’m always present," she added.
