These Are the Lesser-Known Siblings of Our Favorite Celebrities

We’re all familiar with Ryan Gosling’s face, but his older sister Mandi, while just as talented, is not as famous, since she’s the one working behind the scenes. Mandi is a producer, mostly known for the TV shows Miss Advised and Dateline NBC. Unlike her brother, Mandi shies away from the spotlight, but she has made impressive accomplishments throughout her career.

The actor and his sister are quite close to each other, and he has admitted that growing up with only his mother and his sister has programmed him to “think like a girl.” Perhaps that explains, at least partly, why most of the characters he portrays can often be described as gentle.
