Ryan Gosling was 22 years old when he filmed The Notebook as Noah Calhoun.

Quick Scoop

How old was Ryan Gosling in The Notebook?

  • Ryan Gosling was 22 during the filming of The Notebook (shot mainly between late 2002 and early 2003).
  • His character Noah is written as a teenager (around 17) when he first meets Allie, and in his early 20s when they reunite.
  • The film released in 2004, so audiences first saw his performance on screen when he was about 23–24.

A tiny bit of behind‑the‑scenes flavor

Some articles and forum-style pieces occasionally misstate his age as 25, but production-date math and entertainment outlets consistently put him at 22 during filming. This small gap between his real age and Noah’s teen years is part of why people still discuss how convincingly he played a younger, lovestruck mill worker all these years later.
