Ryan Gosling has denied reports claiming he was fired from Peter Jackson's new movie The Lovely Bones for his "demanding" nature, insisting he was just too young for the role.

The 26-year-old was recently replaced by Mark Wahlberg, 36, in the lead role of Jack Salmon, prompting speculation over Gosling's abrupt departure. Sources recently told the New York Post's gossip column, PageSix, "Peter couldn't stand Ryan... He was so demanding. Peter booted him two days before filming started." But Gosling refutes the claims and is convinced the Shooter star is a more suitable choice for the character - a father whose life is turned upside down when his young daughter is brutally raped and murdered.

Gosling tells Parade magazine, "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 Wahlberg 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."

滬江小編：說起來新戲開拍前兩天被人換掉是挺郁悶的，有傳聞說高斯林被炒是因為他刻意營造的父親形象讓導演大為不滿，而高斯林本人則認為只是自己太年輕，不適合演父親。不管怎么樣，《可愛的骨頭》還是順利開機了，由鬼魂講述故事的情節(jié)讓我想起《絕望的主婦》，不知道這部電影會不會和主婦一樣受到大家的喜愛了。
