Saoirse Ronan said she was “sad” when Ryan Gosling was axed from the film The beautiful bones.

The actress eventually starred alongside Mark Wahlberg in the 2009 Peter Jackson-directed film about Ronan’s character, a young girl who was murdered and watches over her family and her murderer from purgatory their loved ones fight for healing. Wahlberg played her grieving father after Gosling was fired.

The Lady Bird Star recently told host Josh Horowitz on the Happy, sad, confused podcast that while she wasn’t able to film with Gosling at the time, they had “made some preparations” before production began. “I think I just loved Ryan. And his dog Georgem and I were just sad that he wouldn’t be there,” she said.

However, Ronan thought about the reasons why Barbie The separation of star and director is “completely valid”. She added: “I have spoken to both of them [Gosling and Jackson] now and it happens. Do you know what I mean? It’s not necessarily personal. It’s like sometimes you just disagree.”

She continued: “Mark was able to step in and be a father. He was the father of, I don’t know, three children? He probably had an experience with it that Ryan didn’t think he had. Ryan was about 27. He was young.”

The Guy case Actor previously told The Hollywood Reporter in 2010, from which he was released The beautiful bones because he and Jackson “had a different idea of ​​what the character should look like. I really believed he should weigh 210 pounds.”

But the director disagreed and ultimately dropped Gosling just days before production began in 2007.

“During the pre-production process we didn’t talk much, which was the problem,” Gosling explained at the time. “It was a huge film and there were so many things to deal with and he couldn’t address the individual actors. I just showed up on set and I was wrong. Then I was fat and unemployed.”

Ronan later told Horowitz that it was “great” to later work with Gosling during the filming of their 2014 film Lost River. She added: “And again he’s just the same. He doesn’t change.”
