   as much as I love to see him in any occasion, I am with you on this. maybe one or two pics, just to see him in real life situations, but in general, I don’t like that kind of privacy intrusion and that kind of photo is not a pretty site. there’s a difference between liking someone and paparazzi stalking.

   you’re right in a way, but not publishing them on this website don’ really change much. I mean they will keep doing them anyway.
   I’m against non hq pictures, when paps are hiding, and he doesn’t know he’s being photographed. That’s invasive and unfair.
   Pictures like this - ok, he doesn’t seem extremely happy but it, but at least he knows they’re there.
   2-3 pictures like that from time to time are harmless I think…

   Well, it’s not really like they’re gonna stop taking pictures of him. Also, pictures that has been taken always end up somewhere, and if you are interested in them it doesn’t really matter where they are and if they are published here, it’s easier to find for those who wants to see them.
   Although I understand what you mean and agree with “goge” . I guess what I’m trying to say is that I don’t think that it does any harm.

   Excuse my english, I’m from Sweden.

   It’s a very contradiction question….I hope Ryan will get used to it. After all, it is because he is famous now. Nobody will post my candids though, isn’t?

   To me he only seems bothered because he is covering his face. Never done that before, it could have been due to the flash tbh

   The paps will keep taking photos no matter what sites are posting them. I prefer to see them here in a fan friendly environment, as opposed to on a gossip site with some made up story about his personal life.

   I am with most of the people that have commented, with his current status and position in Hollywood he is going to be photographed… they will be posted somewhere, even if not here. It is your site and your choice to post pictures or not to, but your lack of posting will not influence whether or not photos of this nature are taken. On a separate note, he didn’t seemed that bothered by the paparazzi presence in Los Angeles when he was photographed, perhaps it was just a long flight and he was tired, if you look through the candids of Ryan he doesn’t seem all that bothered by the paparazzi on most occasions.

   Paparazzi photos come with fame. I think all of us are curious of candids. He had enough time to get used to this issue and I’v e never seen him do this(covering his face like this) before. I think it was bec of hangover or similar thing:) And: this is a fan site so although I understand why did you ask the question I think this was a bit hypocritical.

   Agree Petra, he is being all…odd doing this covering of his face.

    To be honest i found this site because i was looking for strictly candid shots of Ryan and juts not publishes photographs. I know he seems bothered in some and not so much in others and im sure no one likes to be followed around but its not like YOUR paying these photogs to chase after him for these shots, You are compiling a complete RG fan site and i think the sites awesome the way it is (new layout is rad) but this is just my personal opinion. Happy New Year!

    I also agree with Petra. The main reason I come to this site is to view the candids of Ryan. I enjoy seeing the normal, everyday side of celebrities. It makes them seem more relatable. Also, anyone who gets into the movie or entertainment industry knows that paparazzi come with the fame. I feel that discontinuing to post candids of Ryan would defeat the purpose of having this site.

    Thanks everyone for your comments I will continue posting Candids for now.

    This makes me feel like a stalker. He is clearly so unhappy being fotographed by the paps. I think we should boycot candids and all the media, who print or show them. Here is a very talented actor, who is showing us his heart and soul in his films. This is why we love to watch him. If this goes on, he will be off to a stupid Disney-Franchise and then buy him a island in the caribian where he can be a private person again. The loss will be ours.

    @ Lindsey : I agree with your choice and I think that this is very important to respect the spirit of your website ; that’s what you’re doing now when you’re asking all of them !

    I don’t really agree with any of the above comments or the reasoning. As much as I love to look at photos of Ryan, I have no wish to see pictures of him clearly distressed/upset at being hounded by paparazzi vermin, seeing pictures of him covering his face is not entertainment. There are enough images of him out there. My life’s certainly not going to be worse off for not seeing these sort of photos. This is a fan site and should be respectful, regardless of whether other, less scrupulous, places display these. I’ll get off my soapbox now.

    We decided we will change our candids policy a bit after the recent candids and new comments/e-mails from our visitors. Be sure to read it in our latest post: http://goslingfan.com/2012/01/latest-candids-leaving-the-bowery-hotel-at-theater/
