Ryan Gosling Isn't Burning Any Bridges

Ryan Gosling was replaced with Mark Wahlberg in Peter Jackson's next flick "The Lovely Bones". Reports say that he had gained too much weight to play the father, and that he was a real pain the rectum to deal with. Peter Jackson allegedly wasn't having it and brought in "Good Vibrations". Such a sweeeeet sensation! That was such a hot track. Ryan is taking the high road and saying nothing but good things about his pink slip. Damn, that's no fun! Tell us to "eat it, lick it, snort it, f*ck it!"

"I think, people are making it a far more interesting story than it actually is," he says. "The age of the character versus my real age was always a concern of mine. Peter and I tried to make it work and ultimately it just didn't. I think the film is much better off with Mark Walhberg in that role. Peter Jackson is an incredible filmmaker and I'm here to tell you that he has things up his sleeve that are going to blow peoples' minds. I'm going to be the first person in line to buy tickets." As for the report that he was difficult to work with, Gosling says, "The media always slant things in a negative direction. If somebody said I was easy to work with, they'd make that sound bad, too."
