McHenry, who was based in Scotland, starting creating the mashups—which consist of clips of Gosling resisting a slowly moving spoon filled with cereal—in 2013, the same year he was diagnosed with osteosarcoma. His meme quickly became popular on Vine, but he also used the platform to speak honestly and openly about his battle with fans. And his friends in the Vine community rallied around him
