Eva Mendes, Ryan Gosling Breakup: Peter Jackson Fat Story, Dating Rachel McAdams Rumors Wane

For nearly a year now, rumors have been flying that Eva Mendes and Ryan Gosling are going to breakup. Those claims have taken a backseat this week, due to a popular Buzz Feed article, which reminded us of the time Peter Jackson fired Ryan for being too fat. Their popular article followed fictitious claims that the heartthrob had resumed dating Rachel McAdams.

Of the 45 different facts Buzz Feed revealed to users, one of the craziest revelations stems from a 2010 interview Ryan granted The Hollywood Reporter. Ryan explained how drinking melted ice cream cost him a role in The Lovely Bones (via ABC News):

"I was 150 pounds when [Jackson] hired me, and I showed up on set 210 pounds. We had a different idea of how the character should look. I really believed he should be 210 pounds. I was melting Haagen Dazs and drinking it when I was thirsty. We didn't talk very much during the preproduction process, which was the problem. It was a huge movie, and there's so many things to deal with, and he couldn't deal with the actors individually. I just showed up on set, and I had gotten it wrong."

Of course, the real buzz surrounding Ryan is that he could be calling things off with girlfriend Eva Mendes. One source recently told OK! Magazine about the couple's constant fighting:

"For the past 18 months, they've been talking about taking the next step, to the point that on every vacation, Eva's been convinced he would be popping the question. The trip to Iceland in September was the last straw. She pretty much gave him an ultimatum, but he balked and she stormed out and flew back to the States without him."

Of course, this report was in direct contrast to an earlier article in the same tabloid. Last year, a source told OK! that it was Eva who was ending things:

"Eva said the relationship just ran its course. There wasn't a lot to say. He was everything you're supposed to want in a guy--great on paper--but she felt like something was missing."
