He is 26 but looks like 36! Just look at Ryan Goslings’ photograph and say if I’m wrong! Well, Ryan Gosling has been replaced by Mark Wahlberg as the grieving father in Peter Jackson’s ‘The Lovely Bones,’ based on Alice Seybold novel.
Gosling, who had put on 9kg and grown a beard for the part of Susie Salmon’s father, quit Friday due to ‘creative differences.’ Ryan left just one day before the filming was set to start on Monday. But on Sunday Mark Wahlberg was announced as his replacement:
‘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 By Friday, Gosling had left the high-profile production over those pesky ‘creative differences,’ and, by Sunday, he’d been replaced by 36-year-old Mark Wahlberg, who actually could be old enough to father a teenager.’
Oo! Poor Gosling was dumped for being fatty! I hope he’ll never gain weight for any of the roles!
