Ryan Gosling is a big fan of his girlfriend.

"She's kind. She doesn't need any help from me. She's inspired me to do so much as well," Gosling said Sunday when asked about Rachel McAdams at a junket for his new thriller Fracture.

McAdams, 30, told the Elle in April issue that her beau â€" and costar in 2004's The Notebook â€" "never does the same thing twice. He's very brave."

Sort of like the guy who's willing to dance with a fake-legged Heather Mills.

Meanwhile, Gosling, a Best Actor Oscar nominee for Half Nelson, says McAdams has good judgment in her own right: "She's the most discerning person I've ever met. She'll read a script 100 times. She's relentless."

And she's not bad looking, either: Asked to comment on McAdams's cover shot for Elle - as well as many Rachel McAdams photos - Gosling was momentarily tongue-tied.

"Oh ... yeah ..." he said. "She looks stunning! Absolutely â€" yeah!"

We feel the same way about Haley Scarnato.
