Gosling states that he should've just stayed out of it and let them deal with it on their own. He hilariously said that "the guy from The Notebook made it weirder."
Gosling said about the incident, "I'm embarrassed. I should have just kept my nose out of it. the guy was a fan, and so he wanted the painting so bad he had to steal it because he couldn't afford it."
"So he finally steals the painting, and he's getting his ass kicked by his hero, and then the guy from 'The Notebook' shows up and makes it weirder. The whole thing, nobody wins. Nobody won."

Ryan Gosling Isn't Into Violence In Films Despite His History In Hollywood
Ryan Gosling spoke about violence in films during his role in Only God Forgives. It was a different character for Gosling, and the actor admitted that violence in movies isn't really something he grew up idolizing or watching religiously.
"It's not as much a part of the fabric of my creativity as it is for Nic. I mean, he was watching 'Texas Chainsaw Massacre' when he was a kid before school, so it's just a part of him."
"For me it's been a completely new way of working. It's a new kind of film language that I'm not really adept at."
Gosling's role in the film was a misfire, and it received loud boos at Cannes. Though thankfully, Gosling wasn't there to hear the reaction.
Gosling revealed, "It’s like the worst feeling, because you work on something as intimately as we did on this and to not be able to be there with it is an awful feeling. But also I was directing a film at the time, so it was like “Sophie’s Choice,” you know? Because you’d have to leave halfway through the shoot in the middle of a shoot week to go to Cannes. It was like a “Sophie’s Choice” situation."
We can safely say that Gosling made the right choice...
