IT Ends With Us director and co-star Justin Baldoni hesitated when asked about Blake Lively on Today.
Rumor has it that the actor was snubbed by his co-stars because he didn’t appear in any of the film’s promotions.
Justin, 40, appeared on Today on Thursday and chatted with co-host Sheinelle Jones.
She asked him what it was like bringing the film to life, to which he said it was a dream five years in the making.
When Sheinelle asked him about Blake, 36, Justin seemed to hesitate.
“Is there anything you can tell us about Blake Lively?” she asked.

Justin hesitated for a few seconds and looked away before answering.
The director swallowed hard and stumbled over his words before responding.
“I don’t know if you know how smart and creative she really is,” Justin said.
He went on to say that she is much more than an actress and fashion icon and that she participated in the creative process.
Fans noticed that actors, including Blake Lively and Jenny Slate, unfollowed Justin on Instagram.
He also did not appear in any press photos with the rest of the cast.
POOR JUSTIN!
Justin has been noticeably absent from press events and promotional photos and videos.
Not only did he co-star in the film, alongside Blake, but he also directed the film.
Only Blake, Jenny Slate, author Colleen Hoover, Brandon Sklenar and Isabela Ferrer are seen in the promotional photos.
“Where is Justin? Why wasn’t Justin involved in promoting the movie (not as much as others),” one fan wondered under Blake’s post, which didn’t feature Justin.
