A representative for the County Sheriff revealed that Kelly will likely receive a fine and community service for the offence.

Gosling recently suggested that he is ready to quit acting, though went on to clarify that he still manages to find joy in all of his projects.

The actor has described Drive as "a violent John Hughes movie", saying that he and director Nicolas Winding Refn wanted to bring a "fairytale" element to Hossein Amini's script.
