Ryan Gosling eats cereal in memory of meme creator Ryan McHenry

NEW YORK CITY, N.Y., May 5 (UPI) -- Ryan Gosling has offered up a fitting tribute to Ryan McHenry, a Vine star who died Sunday at age 27.

McHenry created the popular "Ryan Gosling won't eat his cereal" meme in 2013, which juxtaposed some of Gosling's most serious film scenes with a spoonful of cereal.

McHenry was diagnosed with bone cancer shortly after the meme went viral. Vine's official Twitter account announced Monday that he had died.

"Your creativity brightened many lives. Thank you. You'll be missed #RIPRyanMcHenry," the tweet read.

Gosling, who told BBC Radio that he actually "loves" cereal, took to Twitter on Monday with a Vine of himself eating cereal.

In a follow-up tweet, Gosling wrote: "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."
