We end up “The Last Man” has been a huge success since its premiere two weeks ago, grossing over $50 million worldwide. While the studio and everyone involved in the film have a lot to celebrate, the film’s release has not been without drama. Blake Lively’s apparent feud with her director and co-star Justin Baldoni has dominated many of the headlines surrounding the film’s release. Fans online are digging up old interviews with Lively that show her being rude in an attempt to show some support for Baldoni. Among those who aren’t sympathetic to Lively is her co-star Brandon Sklenar, who came out in support of the actress and dismissed all of the negative online backlash the film has received.
In a post on his Instagram account, Sklenar appeared to defend not only Lively, but also all the women in the cast and author Colleen Hoover, who wrote the book the film is based on. The actor says: “Shaming women who poured so much of their hearts and souls into making this film because they believe so strongly in its message seems unproductive and distracts from the content of this film.” Sklenar goes on to point out the drama going on behind the scenes, but he makes it clear that all of that shouldn't be the focus of attention.
“In fact, it’s quite the opposite. What may or may not have happened behind the scenes should not detract from our intentions in making this film. It’s been disappointing to see so much negativity being projected online.”
