Mark Johnson, the producer, ended up auditioning for eleven A-list celebrities, ranging from Britney Spears to Jessica Simpson. Although they performed admirably in their auditions, they lacked McAdams’ chemistry with Gosling.

“We evaluated ten actresses with Ryan,” Johnson explained in a behind-the-scenes video. “Nine of them were well-known figures.” We walked around with a video camera, looking for people who were working and interrupting their films; some of them were really, really, really good. But it was clear that Ms. McAdams was the one when she came in and read.”

According to Gosling, their joint celebrity became too much for the couple to bear. Because they were both so popular at the time, they looked to prioritize their acting careers over their relationship. “When both people are in show business, it’s too much show business,” he told GQ magazine. Nothing else can develop because it consumes all of the light.”

“A girl came up to me on the street and almost smacked me,” he told GQ. ‘How could you?’ they say. ‘How could you possibly let a girl like her go?’ I feel compelled to give them hugs. They appear depressed. Rachel and I should be the recipients of embraces! Instead, we console everyone else.”
