OHMYGOSSIP — Saoirse Ronan felt “sad” when Ryan Gosling exited ‘The Lovely Bones’.
The ‘Barbie’ actor was due to play Jack Salmon, the father of Ronan’s character Susie Salmon, in the 2009 movie, but he is said to have departed the project due to creative differences.
Ronan has now admitted she missed Gosling on set, but she understands his exit.
Speaking on the ‘Happy Sad Confused’ podcast, she said: “I just loved Ryan. And his dog, George.
“I was just sad that he wasn’t gonna be around.
“But I think the reasons why they parted were totally valid.
“I have spoken to both now, and I complete – it happens, you know what I mean? It’s not personal, necessarily; it’s just sometimes you’re not on the same page.”
Mark Wahlberg replaced Gosling in the motion picture, and Ronan believes he was more experienced to portray a dad.
She said: “Mark was able to step in, and he was a father.
“He was a father to, like, I don’t know, three kids? He probably had an experience of that that Ryan felt he didn’t.”
However, Ronan did eventually get to work with Gosling in his 2014 directorial debut ‘Lost River’, which he also wrote and co-produced, and the actress admitted it was a “great” experience.
She added: “Ryan was like 27. He was young. It was great then to work with him later.
“He’s just, like, the same. He doesn’t change.”
‘Lost River’ – which told of a single mother being swept into a dark underworld – also featured Christina Hendricks, Matt Smith, Eva Mendes and Barbara Steele.
