Mark Wahlberg is replacing Ryan Gosling in "The Lovely Bones"
Mark Wahlberg is replacing Ryan Gosling in "The Lovely Bones". Just Jared is reporting that this happened just ONE day before shooting!!! (Filming begins today in Pennsylvania.)
Ryan vacated the role on Friday; Marky Mark stepped in on Sunday after quickly reading the script.
Wahlberg has taken the role of Jack Salmon, the grieving father of a young girl. Rachel Weisz will play his wife. After their daughter is murdered, the girl watches over her family and her killer from heaven.
Gosling gained 20 pounds and grew a beard for the role. “Creative differences” supposedly contributed to his abrupt exit.
All I can say is darn it...I was really looking forward to seeing Ryan in that role...and now Ryan has to lose all that weight that he gained for the role.
