From 'The Holiday' to 'Holidate': 5 Christmas Movies to Watch on Valentine's Day
Yesterday may have been the presidential election, but it was also the day that Ryan Gosling’s Holidate lookalike was finally identified. World, meet Chad Zigmund, an Atlanta-based actor who catapulted into the global spotlight with a brief (but memorable!) cameo in the Holidate Netflix movie. He may not be Ryan Gosling, but he’s certainly the next best thing.
If Chad Zigmund’s Holidate appearance has you curious about this frozen food-loving actor, you’re in luck. Here’s everything you need to know about Chad Zigmund, Ryan Gosling’s lookalike in Netflix romantic comedy Holidate!
WHO IS THE HOLIDATE RYAN GOSLING LOOKALIKE?
After days of speculation about the real identity of Holidate‘s faux Ryan Gosling, actor and stuntman Chad Zigmund revealed that he is the mysterious man in the frozen food aisle at the end of the film. “Hi, I am Chad ‘Frozen Food Aisle Ryan Gosling’ Zigmund,” he wrote on Instagram alongside a photo of him standing in the grocery store featured in Holidate.
Don’t believe him? He even shared close-ups of the moment to prove that his dark green bomber jacket matches that of the man behind Sloane (Emma Roberts). Finally, definitive evidence that Ryan Gosling does not, in fact, do his own shopping!
WHO IS CHAD ZIGMUND?
According to his Instagram bio, Chad Zigmund is an actor and stuntman based in Atlanta, Georgia. A demo reel posted to YouTube shows that he has appeared in a variety of dramatic and comedic projects, so just like Ryan Gosling, he has some serious range.
CHAD ZIGMUND MOVIES: WHAT ELSE HAS CHAD ZIGMUND BEEN IN?
Zigmund’s IMDb page reveals that he’s been featured in a series of short films, including Orphaned Courage, Typewriters, and By Chance.

Holidate fans can next catch Zigmund in The Shoes, The Anthology of Julius, the Nigerian Immigrant, and The Repairman.
IS CHAD ZIGMUND SINGLE?
Alas, Zigmund is not single. In June, he posted a sweet photo in honor of his second anniversary with wife Rhea Zigmund. “I am lucky to have you going through the exploration and adventure of life with me,” wrote the Holidate actor. “Yes, I am the lucky one.” Aw!
