Justin Baldoni on It Ends With Us, Intimacy Coordinators and Blake Lively | Cosmopolitan UK

[@sxt4447]

The fact that he’s humbling himself enough to say he, as a man, needed to make sure he stepped to the side and allowed women to come in and guide the intimate scenes in an appropriate way speaks VOLUMES

[@evap.5121]

He needs to play Jesus in a movie. He has a lot of kindness in his eyes and looks how I think he's supposed to look

[@Inkaa1tarot]

@@evap.5121I literally said this when i was watching one of his interviews yesterday! I hope this happens. 🤞🏽

[@audreylynn2128]

Why is he the only one shedding light on what this movie is actually about instead of just romanticizing it all???

[@lana4442]

Because everyone else is too “Hollywood”… egotistical if you will. Justin is still very much a grounded and normal person not having as much influence from Hollywood and fame.

[@Oceangrace90]

I honest to god believe justin isn't that morally sound. In comparision to the hollycouple, sure ,but my Unpopular opinion is why was this man going around for 2 yrs trying to make a movie out of a book that glamorizes ab*se!?! Evn with so many women raising alarm about the books impact on impressionable mind ever since. It seems he is now trying to do damage control ,but lucky for him blake and ryan are making it easy for him. The book is the issue in the first place, and it was his idea.

[@lana4442]

@@Oceangrace90 he’s passionate about toxic masculinity and helping men heal their traumas etc…? Not weird at all, it’s something he truly wants to help fix about the world and it makes perfect sense that he wanted to take on this project.

Justice for Justin!! Blake is being a high school mean girl by icing him out of his own movie press tour

[@lindamay7850]

And no one in the cast ever mentions him in their interviews.

[@rosanneperkins9516]

@@lindamay7850that confuses me. His production company brought it to Sony. He is the director. He seems to bringing to important parts of the film to light. No one else does

Bruh I stand by Justin idc what anybody says I hope we see more of him he seems like a really sweet guy and he is very handsome

[@Toe926]

this needs more views. He’s the only one bringing the right light to this movie

[@ave-7902]

Now that's professionalism and passion in what you do. I want to see more of Justin Baldoni's work.

[@ashleyelliott6875]

It’s a huge strength for him to step aside and let females take over in some of the steps during the making of this movie. It’s a strength to understand that a woman’s perspective can be necessary to make a better movie. We need to applaud that. 👏🏼

[@aleksandraw5034]

thank you for inviting Justin to do this interview

[@nattitv45]

The way he always wants authenticity and realness in his films and being super intentional about it!! ❤

[@msreal5270]

Starting to think he himself decided to not market with the rest of the cast, he’s too eloquent lol he’d make them look bad😭✋🏾

[@Model_Roe]

lol he makes the rest of them look like a bunch of ditzy bimbos I agree he is the only one who sounds like he really gets it and did not make it a vanity project about himself

[@Nklloa]

I was thinking the same thing !!!!!! 😅😅😅

[@agathataylor9831]

The good hearted always win in the end and Justin is a man of integrity. If you listen to him speak, you can piece it all together. He has said nothing but kind things about everyone. The rest just shunned him out and act like he does not exist. I only heard of this book, this movie, because of him. I admire AND respect him. I am not throwing cancel culture at Blake, but I feel like she owes some sort of statement to redeem Justin. He has WAY more following than she ever expected and she didn’t realize his fans were just as deep as him. We shared his vision. I loved her in age of Adeline. Her interviews were even different then. I’m not sure what happened here but I have hope it’s repairable.

[@EclecticBlues]

He comes over as very modest and genuine, unlike some others associated with the movie.

[@RyanLopez-dp7vs]

It was a great movie!! Justin is GORGEOUS looking forward on seeing him on more movies to come!! Justin did an amazing job at bringing awareness to domestic violence abuse. It's a very real and important issue !! Not a romantic movie but real life drama!!

[@leditee]

This man gave Blake too much credit and her head got bigger. 😂

[@StardustAnnE]

Thank you for bringing him and not the rest of the cast that are behaving like some mean girls. He's the one who bought the rights of the book and the only one who tried to represent it as it was a DV movie. But now we know what Blake and Ryan did and how are trying to sink Justin's career because of their power in Hollywood and because they just wanted to cash in with this movie and ofc Put Blake on the spotlight again but guess what? She still Can't Act. And now she's behaving like a meanie and even Insert her Brand in the promotion!! 🥴🥴🥴

[@mfc3553]

Kinda sad he's always alone promoting what the movie is actually about,but maybe that's for the better in his case,no one can misconstrue his intentions.

[@Dan-u1o]

The rest of the cast are acting like high school mean girls ( and guys )...and clearly the unknown actors are siding with the more famous actor and her husband making a joke out of everything.

[@Model_Roe]

definitely agree except the Reynolds are Hollywood royalty not to mention billionaires from what I heard Colleen was on board with Justin in the beginning and even asked him to be in the movie when he did not want to then all of a sudden when Blake got involved everything went left super messed up because Justin seems like a really nice guy

[@michelleglowala2360]

Diva Blake is trying to ruin this man's career

[@pinagrrrr2280]

Justin ❤ Discovery of the year ❤ I am afraid Reynolds/Lively hate him and will pushed him out of every oportunity he might would have

[@Model_Roe]

He's such a cutie I love him

[@michaela1541]

He's the hottest

[@mariamaturino3450]

Love the interview!

[@nutellasammich9964]

Throughout all this and everything I’ve seen , I personally feel like this is a situation where Blake; (who is obviously more famous compared to Jason) felt like she had more experience in film and maybe felt like she could take control and direct some things , and when Jason, someone who is not as popular as Blake, would try to direct (as the director and man who purchased the rights to the book should🙄) , she maybe thought she could talk over him or take control.. seems like an abuse of power difference and popularity.. Then, all the other crowd following crew and author, just sided with her because of her status Jason is handling all this with so much class. And the way he talks positive about Blake despite whatever is going on and also shedding light to DV issues - is enough evidence to show, who the real problem was. A director who keeps it professional. You can just tell this man is a MAN. Blake just seems like an immature bully.

[@sandragirlovan7570]

OK KING

[@iriskeniafernandez5647]

Blake Must be going through something to be blowing it this bad.

[@Cheezpopcorn]

Sadly, the perceived rich and young power couple doesn't realize that the next power couple is waiting in the wings to take thwir place. No need to be cruel. If I see this movie, it would be to support him ONLY.

[@Model_Roe]

The Reynolds can go kick rocks lol I stand behind Justin and I hope we see more of him he is a cutie

[@lauralarrabee7870]

Never understood why Reynolds is so popular. I don’t get the appeal. I could go to LA or West Hollywood and find them a dime a dozen. For the longest time thought he was Dane Cook. As both men are foul mouthed abrasive and uncharismatic and unattractive. Justin in contrast is gracious, classy and a gentleman.

[@wilfreddale764]

Like if you think Blake can’t act

[@nk3582]

I bet he regrets casting Blake

[@aytac007]

i think that the movies where their is friction between the actors makes the movie better, im not sure why this happens, but it alsways seems to. kim basinger and mickey rourke hated each other and they made that iconic movie 9 and half weeks, that is an alltime great movie.

[@ml_betrue2792]

Honestly, the birth scene did look pretty real bc the baby was so young!!

[@rahulvig5298]

No wonder Blake Lively gels well with Taylor Swift. 😶..

[@EricaLuke-b7y]

It seems so obvious to agree with Justin? Why do you think the cast is taking Blake’s side?

[@sunnyday_lemonbars]

bc she's the popular girl

[@misscomment8025]

Justice for Justin! Blake seems rude arrogant and disrespectful.

[@mittu1814]

the ttheatre is falling and they did stunt....they are both ACTORS. I was in a DV for about 13 yrs, seems off.

[@Leslie27275]

He admits he, The Director, took a step back and let the women DO his job.

[@5hineeisforever]

Yup he admitted he stepped back and let those women (ehem co-star ehem) lead on those intimacy scenes plus still having two intimacy coordinators, yet they tried (but failed) to accuse him of stepping over the line making the "woman" feel uncomfortable, GIVEN that she mainly coordinated it. 👀 See the contrast there?

[@Oceangrace90]

The book is the problem in the first place, glamorizing unhealthy relationship dynamic. Why did this man have the vision of wanting to see this on the big screen?!!

[@erinlee5936]

That's his advocacy. He's been advocating awareness about DV and how to help those who experienced DV. He is aware that the book is problematic - that's why he wanted to shed light on the issues.

[@kristen7948]

He is renowned for tackling the tough stuff through art. The documentary My Last Days is lifechanging. Clouds is about cancer and Five Feet apart is dying from Cystic Fibrosis.

[@aleksandrac9335]

[@Coco-c5s]

Why are you posting this everywhere multiple times??

[@RyanLopez-dp7vs]

He was amazing and he is bringing awareness. Domestic abuse is no joke. Women have died at the hands of their abusers. He is very serious on the subject of domestic violence!!!

[@laurenknicely9832]

I think he's got a podcast called "man enough" where they talk about toxic masculinity and such... It sounds like one of his purposes in life is shedding light on that and trying to steer men in a positive direction. I suppose this story could be part of that - a commentary on how not to be a man

[@mfc3553]

Did you even bother to look up why? No,dismissed.
