Englishwoman and writer, Laurie Penny, says her life was saved by actor Ryan Gosling after she was nearly hit by a taxi in New York City.
Peny said she absentmindedly stepped onto a busy New York City thoroughfare and was nearly struck by a vehicle before Ryan Gosling intervened, saving her from certain death.
"I literally, LITERALLY just got saved from a car by Ryan Gosling. Literally. That actually just happened," Penny tweeted after the incident.
"I was crossing 6th avenue in a new pink wig. Not looking the right way because I am from London. Ryan Gosling grabbed me away from a taxi."
"I am grateful to . . . Mr. Gosling, just as I am grateful to every other kind New Yorker who has saved me from oncoming traffic in recent weeks, good citizens making the streets of this fine city that much safer," she added.
Gosling's agent has not yet commented on the incident.
