What would Ryan Gosling's accent in Crazy Stupid Love be classified as?

Question

The movie seems to be shot primarily in California. But still Ryan Gosling has this weird accent. What would you call this accent? Is there a specific reason for this accent?

Answer 1

That's called phony accent.

Ryan Gosling told to W magazine about his infamously slurry speech,

"As a kid I decided that a Canadian accent doesn't sound tough. I thought guys should sound like Marlon Brando. So now I have a phony accent that I can't shake, so it's not phony anymore. I'm going for the Madonna thing, the Lady Gaga thing--a phony accent that becomes your trademark."
