Ryan Gosling’s Massive Weight Gain
Ryan Gosling looks a little heavy in the face as he arrives at the NYC premiere of Lars And The Real Girl at the Paris Theater on Wednesday.
If you’re wondering about the massive weight gain, it’s for his upcoming film The Lovely Bones. Ryan, 26, will play the role of Susie’s father, Jack Salmon. Susie (Saoirse Ronan) is a 14-year-old girl during the 1970’s who is raped, murdered, and dismembered by a neighbor. Over the next few years she watches from a personalized heaven as her family and friends deal with their grief.
The Lovely Bones will be directed by Peter Jackson (Lord of the Rings, King Kong) and is set for a 2008 release.

Why is a 26 year old playing the father of a 14 year old? Nothing against Gosling, but this is poor casting. The book is incredible, and deserves the best adaptation possible. I sure hope they age that boy very well….
I read the book too and loved it. Don’t understand why he had to gain weight for the role though. I thought Jack sounded kind of thin in the book.
I think he looks better fatter…too much of hollywood is wrapped up in being skinny… how may ppl do u know that look like f-ing paris hilton (that arent surgically altered) or (god i love him) David Beckham… I give the brother props for doing what he wanted to and being unconventional… the world needs more of that!
um, koontz didn’t write this book. its written by a female author named alice sebold. get your facts straight.
Kellie was not saying that Koontz wrote the book! She was just comparing his books to The Lovely Bones. The previous poster stated that the book was slow and boring, but Kellie disagreed. She then brought up Koontz by saying she thought his books were “slow, slow slow…” even though many others love his books…
he was fired from the role days before filming, mr mark wahlberg is now set to play the father, probably an intelligent desician as robin miller pointed out he is 26…his on screen daughter is 14
