Ryan Gosling is out to tell the world that he's no diva. Seriously.
The "Lars and the Real Girl" star dropped out of the cast of "The Lovely Bones" a day before filming was supposed to take place. But, he says, the decision was supported by director Peter Jackson.
"The age of the character versus my real age was always a concern of mine," he told Parade magazine. "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. ... I’m going to be the first person in line to buy tickets."
Gosling was plagued by rumors that he was difficult to work with, but according to the actor, the media "always slant things in a negative direction."
Do not!
