Justin Baldoni recently surprised attendees at an It Ends With Us screening with an unexpected start to the event. The actor shared via Instagram that he, along with his wife Emily Baldoni and a group of individuals, got stuck in an elevator at the AMC Century City event in Los Angeles. Despite the initial hiccup, the elevator started moving again after some troubleshooting, much to Baldoni's amusement.
It Ends With Us, produced by Baldoni's Wayfarer Studios and based on Colleen Hoover's novel, has been well-received by fans. Baldoni has been making surprise visits to cinemas to engage with audiences and hear their feedback on the film.
In a recent Instagram post, Baldoni expressed gratitude to fans for their support and shared that meeting them in person has been a rewarding experience. He also encouraged viewers to share their stories and raise awareness about domestic violence, providing resources for those in need.
The film explores the abusive relationship between characters Ryle and Lily Bloom, portrayed by Baldoni and Blake Lively, respectively. Baldoni approached the sensitive subject matter with care, acknowledging the emotional toll it took on him during filming.
Reports suggest that creative differences between Baldoni and Lively during the production led to tension behind the scenes. Allegedly, changes made by Lively without consultation caused friction between the two actors, impacting their working relationship.
Despite the challenges during production, It Ends With Us continues to resonate with audiences and is currently showing in theaters. The film's portrayal of domestic violence serves as a reminder of the importance of supporting survivors and victims.
