It was a little strange a couple of nights ago at the premiere for “It Ends with Us.”
Blake Lively, the star, brought along husband Ryan Reynolds, and his work husband, Hugh Jackman, to the red carpet.
Lively took a lot of pictures with them but none with director and co-star Justin Baldoni.
In fact, no one from the cast has done interviews with or spoken about Baldoni at all.
It almost seemed like Lively brought the Deadpool and Wolverine stars along to distract the press from whatever is really going on with the “It Ends with Us” cast.
There are 224 photos from the premiere on WireImage and not a single one of Baldoni with any of his actors. That alone raises a lot of questions.
Online, in social media, plenty of people have noticed and posted stories about the underlying tensions aimed at Baldoni. In the film he plays a violent and abusive husband. Is it possible that the feelings toward the character have spilled over into real life?
On the red carpet Tuesday night, Jenny Slate really gave a diplomatic non answer when an interviewer asked about working with Baldoni as a director and actor. She basically sidestepped the whole thing, and talked about herself.
Baldoni is already a TV star from “Jane the Virgin,” and he’s a great looking guy who you’d think would be all over the talk shows, etc.
“It Ends with Us” starts tonight in previews and opens tomorrow everywhere. It has a low 54% Rotten Tomatoes.
