 Ryan Gosling fans were crushed last week to learn that theCanadian actor / most-giffable-man-alive would be "taking a break" from his careerfor a while.

"I've lost perspective on what I'm doing. I think it's goodfor me to take a break and reassess why I'm doing it and how I'm doing it," hetold the Associated Press, to which the internet collectively cried "Nooooo!"

Clearly, the thought of a world withoutfresh Gosling flicks (which provide the online masses with viral Tumblr fodder and shirtless screencaps galore) was distressing for many...

In an effort to help soften the blow (and perhaps generate some earned media buzz) a British video-on-demand service called Blinkbox has opened up "The Gosline" -- a 24-hour hotline that fans can call to hear clips of the actor's soothing voice in films like The Notebook, Gangster Squad and Drive.

For who better to help you through RyanGosling-induced heartbreak than Ryan Gosling?

Tumblr

Despite the fact that the British number is not toll-free, women and men from around the world are giving the Gosline a ring to hear the Canadian star say things like "We're gonna have to work at this everyday, but I want to do that because I want you. I want all of you, forever, you and me, everyday."

Victoria B.C.-based radio DJ Jon Williams gave the line a ring while he was live on the air this week:

The "Gosline" by WilliamsOfJonI'm super upset Ryan Gosling is taking some time off to recharge and become a director an stuff. Thank goodness someone saw a way to make...

And he's far from the only one to do so. The Gosline appears to be a hit.

Many are praising BlinkBox for its originality and quick-thinking today. It's worth noting however, that they're not the first company to open up a fandom hotline.

Earlier this month, the "Twi-line" opened for British fans who are mourning the end of the popular Twilight film series.

And in December 2011, the "Callin' Oates" hotline -- a U.S.-based Hall & Oats tribute "for when you just want to listen to some sweet H&O" -- went viral.

It continues to be popular more than two years on, with a new, fresh batch of songs recently added to its inventory.

So, so glad Callin' Oates is back. I felt Out of touch and Out of time without it. #moreiconiceightiesartistsonspeeddial.shawn

According to my iPhone, drunk Lou called Callin' Oates (Hall & Oates' emergency hotline) 18 times St. Paddys Day. 18 times. (719) 266-2837Louis Contaldi

Would you call a fan hotline? If so, for who?
