When film stars argue on set
Blake Lively vs. Justin Baldoni
What was the problem? Two people who believe they are always the smartest person in the room have to share a room.
Who did what? On the set of “Just one more time” She played a young woman who is beaten and humiliated by her partner. Delicate: Lively and Justin Baldoni not only stood as a couple in front of the camera, they also had to work together behind the camera as the film’s director and producer. It’s hardly surprising that an argument immediately broke out between these two egos, which soon alarmed the entire crew.
It was said that the team was afraid of the 36-year-old – not because she was really mean to anyone, but because she “could be so effortlessly rude”. She also said in interviews that her husband Ryan Reynolds wrote an important scene in the film and she is said to have tried to have the film edited the way she wanted.
All not very flattering for the director. According to insider reports, Justin Baldoni, 40, seemed so overwhelmed on set that at some point he just answered questions from the crew “Just ask Blake!” should have replied.
Who won? Apparently Blake Lively. When Justin Baldoni was asked if he would be available to direct a second part, he praised Blake Lively to the fullest and said: “I think there are better people for this film. I think Blake Lively is ready to direct. That’s my opinion.”
