However, that is not the case, a rep for the Danish director told OTRC.com on Tuesday, November 20, saying: "Someone stole a still photo and made a fake poster."

"The director, Nick Cassavetes, called me to meet him at his house," Gosling told the British magazine Company. "When I got there, he was standing in his back yard, and he looked at me and said, 'I want you to play this role because you're not like the other young actors out there in Hollywood. You're not handsome, you're not cool, you're just a regular guy who looks a bit nuts.'"
