Ryan Gosling Saves British Woman's Life In New York City: Report

Hey girl, I am going to save your life today.

Less than a year after Ryan Gosling was seen breaking up a fight in New York City, the "Drive" star has apparently played hero once again.

Yesterday, the actor saved British writer Laurie Penny from being hit by a car, this according to her Twitter account.

"I literally, LITERALLY just got saved from a car by Ryan Gosling. Literally. That actually just happened," Penny tweeted. "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."

According to the New York Observer, there is still no confirmation of whether this was really Gosling or not. (His publicists have not yet to respond to requests for comment.)

In 2011, Gosling was praised for his tough-guy role in the critically acclaimed "Drive." You can see the actor next in the upcoming the Los Angeles period piece, "The Gangster Squad" -- assuming he, you know, doesn't save your first.

He did not say 'hey, girl.' He said 'hey, watch out!'
