Ryan Gosling's Red Leather Jacket up for Charity
Ride like lightning in the red leather jacket worn by Ryan Gosling in Derek Cianfrance's THE PLACE BEYOND THE PINES. The original costume piece, prominently displayed by Gosling in his part as Luke, a motorcycle stunt rider-turned-bank robber, will be auctioned off through Profiles in History. The jacket is a Firstgear red leather motorcycle jacket with snap pockets at the front, black corduroy at the collar, zipper vents at both front and back with black leather in the vent, elastic at both cuffs and bottom, and zips to close. The lining from the auction item has been removed because of wear from extensive location filming of sequences in which Luke rides on his motorcycle. The auction starts on March 29, 2013 (the day the film opens in limited release in New York and Los Angeles) and ends on April 5, 2013. The auction will benefit Variety - The Children's Charity of Southern California. Elizabeth O'Neil, Executive Director of Variety - The Children's Charity of Southern California, said, "Our charity is proud to continue its longstanding association with Focus Features, which has allowed movie fans to own pieces of cinema history from so many fine films while contributing greatly appreciated extra funds to children in need."
