Worth the weight?

How serious is Ryan Gosling? He's willing to walk out of a role over creative differences even after packing on 20 pounds for the part.

In fact, Variety reports that that's exactly what the "Lars and the Real Girl" actor just did, pulling out of Peter Jackson's adaptation of Alice Sebold's novel, "The Lovely Bones." Mark Wahlberg, a fine actor but not quite on the same level as Gosling, has stepped into the role of Jack Salmon, for which Gosling had also begun growing a beard. Shaving is easy, but losing 20 pounds? We don't treat that quite so lightly.

What do you think about Gosling's choice? Would the weight gain influence your decision as an actor? Any weight-loss tips for Ryan?
