​”Women are better than men.”

From being the world’s sexiest new dad to making you cry all the tears in The Notebook, Ryan Gosling is the greatest gift both on screen and off.

And in case you needed another reason to love him, the The Nice Guys actor has revealed he’s really in touch with his feminine side.

“I think women are better than men. They are stronger. More evolved,” he told ES Magazine.

“You can tell especially when you have daughters and you see their early stages, they are just leaps and bounds beyond boys immediately.”

And when asked what percentage woman he’d claim to be, he replied, “I’d say 49%, sometimes 47%, it depends on what day you catch me.”

Gosling said he grew up with women and his “home life is now mostly women”.

“I’ve always liked women more. I was brought up by my mother and older sister,” said the Drive star. “I found my way into dance class.

“My home life now is mostly women. They are better than us. They make me better.”

Gosling is father to 18-month-old Esmeralda and newborn daughter Amada with actress Eva Mendes.

The full interview appears in this week’s edition of ES Magazine, out today (June 2).
