"Ryan Gosling has revealed that Peter Jackson fired him from The Lovely Bones because the pair disagreed on how Gosling&amp;#039;s character should be played. Gosling was on board to portray Jack Salmon - father of lead character Susie - and put on 60lbs especially for the part. However, Jackson apparently disagreed with Gosling&amp;#039;s vision for the character and removed him from the film just days before it went into production. &amp;quot;We had a different idea of how the character should look,&amp;quot; Gosling told The Hollywood Reporter. &amp;quot;I really believed he should be 210lbs. I was melting H\u00C3\u00A4agen-Dazs and drinking it when I was thirsty!&amp;quot; The part eventually went to Mark Wahlberg, but Gosling insists that he has no hard feelings over Jackson&amp;#039;s decision. &amp;quot;We didn&amp;#039;t talk very much during the pre-production process, which was the problem,&amp;quot; he said. &amp;quot;It was a huge movie, and there&amp;#039;s so many things to deal with, and he couldn&amp;#039;t deal with the actors individually. I just showed up on set, and I had gotten it wrong.&amp;quot; He joked: &amp;quot;Then I was fat and unemployed.&amp;quot; "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
