"It's a very polarizing movie with regards to my character," he told Vulture of portraying Lon Hammond.
As you may recall, Lon gets engaged to Allie (McAdams) after she nurses him back to health following a few major war injuries. She later leaves him and returns to her first love, Noah (Gosling).

Not only did Marsden not get the girl in The Notebook, but he said he gets criticized for it. "I hear people say that [they would've stayed with me]," he said. "Then I also have people coming up and going like, 'Ugh!' They're just disgusted by me."
"Like, 'How dare you get involved with their love? You are the a**hole in that movie,'" Marsden recalled of conversations he's had with fans. "I'm like, 'How is he an a--hole?' He was a great guy."
