Star Wars fans woke up to a mega rumor on Thursday morning which involved Ryan Gosling and Zac Efron being up for the role of Luke Skywalker’s son in the upcoming film Star Wars Episode VII. Obviously Star Wars fans see Gosling as the lesser of two potential evils in this casting situation, but according to the actor’s representatives, don’t count on Golsing being one with the Force anytime soon.

Not long after the rumor made the round on social media and other sites, Gosling’s representatives denied the actor’s involvement in the film.

Per The Huffington Post:

A new report about Ryan Gosling meeting with J.J. Abrams and Lucasfilm to discuss “Star Wars: Episode VII” has been denied by the stars representatives.

The denial apparently comes from the horse’s mouth which means people around the web ran with yet another baseless Star Wars rumor. But that’s to be expected with the type of film Star Wars is going to be as fans want to know everything they can about what J.J. Abrams has in store.

But Gosling apparently isn’t a part of the plans, at least not for now. The denial from Gosling’s camp didn’t state that the actor wasn’t interested in the film but rather suggested that he hadn’t yet been contacted by Disney or Lucasfilm. Gosling has expressed a desire to step away from acting for a little while and taking on a lead role in the largest movie franchise of all-time doesn’t really fit that decision.

Still, we’re very early on in the process which means anything can happen, or in Gosling’s case, not happen.
