It only takes a moment to inspire the internet.
While the Oscars were full of mess-ups as well as sweet tributes and speeches, one of the most humorous moments of the awards ceremony was when Jimmy Kimmel welcomed a group of tourists off a bus in Hollywood into the Dolby Theatre.
The tourists were totally star-struck and one of the women’s faces while shaking the hand of Oscar nominee Ryan Gosling looked so shocked/horrified that it just begged to be turned into a meme.
Here’s what Twitter users reckon the actor was telling her:

We ourselves are thinking it was a moment akin to Lost in Translation – we’ll never know exactly what he whispered, but we’re positive it was just what she needed to hear.
Or it was this:
