Hollywood actor Ryan Gosling has formed a rock band named Dead Man's Bones. 

The heartthrob, most known for his emotional role in 'The Notebook', created a concept for a stage musical with a friend named Zach Shields, but after much artistic deliberation the pair decided it would be "the most expensive play of all time" so adapted their idea to fit a live project. Shields told WENN:

"We started off wanting to make a play about zombies and ghosts and monsters who are lonely and looking for love. We wanted kids to sing it but it turned out to be the most expensive play of all time and nobody would make it, so we thought, 'We'll make it into a movie...' But that was equally expensive, so we thought we'd make it into a record."

"Now suddenly we're a band, which was never the plan... It's the two of us trying for an Everly Brothers kind of thing."

"Our first record was called Never Let A Lack of Talent Get You Down. We'd like to do another one."
