Ryan Gosling’s CHEWED gum up for sale on eBay thanks to X Factor's Matt Richardson
RYAN GOSLING fans can now own a rare piece of memorabilia if they are willing to get into a bidding war.
The actor's chewed piece of gum is up for grabs following his appearance on Virgin Radio this week while promoting La La Land with Emma Stone.
Xtra Factor host Matt Richardson at first seemed unsure what to do with his so-called trash, but he has since put it on auction site, eBay.
Explaining how he came to own such a coveted item, the 25-year-old revealed: "It's been very well chewed and probably has little of the original minty taste."
However, he did add: "Be warned if you decide to buy this to chew yourself, he wasn't very well when he came into the studio. Unless you want to catch the lurgy from Gosling, that is."

The gum has so far had 14 bids which has pushed up the price to £17, with all proceeds going to The Alzheimer's Society.
"You can have the rest of the pack of gum, too. Edith Bowman had them on her show," potential buyers are also told online.
Matt had seemed unsure of what to do with the gum on first discovery, as he tweeted: "Ryan Gosling has left his chewing gum in the studio. Chewed. Grim @VirginRadioUK."
