OlderThe Peter Jackson-Ryan Gosling Feud
So what were those “creative differences” between director Peter Jackson and Ryan Gosling over The Lovely Bones?
The LA Times reports that Ryan was too fat for the role:
“Peter Jackson was said to be quite surprised that Gosling had showed up to start work on The Lovely Bones looking like he’d donned a fat suit. According to sources, the 26-year-old Gosling had apparently told the director he was going to gain weight to age himself up to play the part of a grieving father, but Jackson was still expecting some movie star allure — not paunch and a beard. By Friday, Gosling had left the high-profile production over those pesky “creative differences,” and, by Sunday, he’d been replaced by 36-year-old Mark Wahlberg, who actually could be old enough to father a teenager.”
Page Six reports that Ryan was a diva.
“‘Peter couldn’t stand Ryan,’ said one source. Though Variety reported that Gosling had “stepped down” and was replaced by Mark Wahlberg, our source said, ‘Ryan cut his own hair, and was fighting with wardrobe. He was so demanding . . . Peter booted him two days before filming started.’”

i love ryan.. but.. he’s getting fatter :|
I can’t believe Ryan is a diva…….he’s a good actor and I think he’s fit’s the sad dad part even if he’s young.
And then he’s very hot at this moment and that’s a good thing for a succes movie…and sure there are more good actors around. Diffently better then Marky Mark…he’s not right for this role. Mark could never look the sad dad with his trained body…and then 1 day before filming….no beard hahaha.
After reading the book Ryan Gosling would have been pitch perfect in the role of the father. Great casting choice. Too bad that didn’t work out.
Mark W. is good too. But not for this role. He doesn’t have the subtle, nuanced acting ability that’s needed to play the tender, grief stricken father. But then again with the brilliant Peter Jackson as his director maybe he’ll find it. I hope so. I’m rooting for Mark to rise to his highest range in this role.
