He also opens up about Eva Mendes and their baby daughter, Esmerelda, who is about to experience Christmas for the first time.
“This will be our first Christmas where [Esmeralda is] sort of taking it all in, so that’s exciting,” says Gosling of the couple’s daughter, born in September 2014. “She’s obsessed with the Hanson Christmas album! No disrespect to Hanson, they’re very talented kids, but I think I’ve heard that record enough. I’m sure it will be on a loop this Christmas as well.”
