Ryan Gosling has been ousted from the on screen adaptation of best selling book Lovely Bones. The reason? He's "too fat," for the part.

"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 By Friday, Gosling had left the high-profile production over those pesky 'creative differences,' and, by Sunday, he'd been replaced by 36-year-old Mark Wahlberg, who actually could be old enough to father a teenager."

It's rare to hear of these situations happening to men in Hollywood. Usually the ladies are the ones being told they need to slim down for a role. It is kind of interesting to see the scenario reversed.
Oh well, one hot guy replaces another hot guy...doesn't matter much to me :)
In other news, I LOVED the book! So I will definitely be seeing this movie when it comes out. Anybody else out there excited?!?
