Ryan Gosling has finally eaten his cereal.
Gosling has posted a clip online in which he pours, scoops and eats a spoon of cereal in a fitting salute to fallen internet hero Ryan McHenry, who created the popular Ryan Gosling Won't Eat His Cereal meme.
McHenry, a young filmmaker, died over the weekend after a two-year battle with bone cancer.
When he was diagnosed with cancer in 2013 he started an internet meme calling on Gosling to eat cereal in a series of short, humorous clips.
In the clips posted on micro video platform Vine, McHenry takes scenes from Gosling's films and overlays them with a spoon hovering towards the stern-faced Hollywood star.
But each time, of course, Gosling has snubbed the breakfast flakes - until now.
Gosling's cereal Vine has already been viewed more than 1.25 million times, and the actor also tweeted his condolences following McHenry's death.
"My heart goes out to all of Ryan McHenry's family and friends. Feel very lucky to have been apart of his life in some small way," Gosling tweeted on Tuesday (AEST).
