Inside Blake Lively’s Tense ‘It Ends With Us’ Set: Body Double Spills All
I’m sure you think you’ve heard all the drama from the set of It Ends With Us, but let me clarify exactly how Blake Lively behaved—brace yourself, it’s not the fairy-tale you expect. According to the film’s unnamed body double, the atmosphere on Justin Baldoni’s adaptation of Colleen Hoover’s best-seller was so charged you could practically taste the tension. While most outlets merely skimmed the surface, this insider account uncovers both the icy stares and the unexpected moments of camaraderie that shaped production.
To start, our source confirms that Lively arrived on set each morning with laser-focus. Crew members reportedly whispered that she studied every shot breakdown twice, often quizzing assistants on lighting angles and camera trajectories. “She treated each frame like a magic trick no one else fully understood,” the double told Page Six, citing a September filming schedule in Boston’s historic districts. But don’t worry if that sounds exhausting—you’d probably struggle to keep up with her pace.
Despite Blake’s meticulous prep, tensions flared during pivotal scenes with co-star Justin Baldoni. Multiple staffers (per The New York Post) described late-night reshoots after a technical glitch, at which point Lively allegedly snapped at the sound crew for a misplaced boom mic. Yet, our insider insists the snap wasn’t personal—just Lively’s trademark push for perfection. You might think that makes her “difficult,” but she balanced it by spontaneously organizing group dinners to ease the stress, proving she’s not just a one-note diva.
If you’re wondering who else noticed the high stakes, People magazine reports that costume designers barely had time to breathe between adjustments of Lively’s period-piece wardrobe. With meticulous hems and historically accurate fabrics, the pressure was palpable. Our double noted that Blake would pause rehearsals to offer words of encouragement—“Keep going, this is gold,” she’d murmur—only to demand another take the moment someone blinked at the wrong time.
Now, it might surprise you that this intense environment also produced warm behind-the-scenes bonds. The body double revealed impromptu karaoke nights at a local pub, where Lively loosened up and sang show tunes to her castmates. Who knew perfectionism could be so… entertaining?
So next time you stream It Ends With Us, remember this: behind Blake Lively’s picture-perfect performance lay a whirlwind of exacting standards, last-minute reshoots, and unexpected team-building antics. Hopefully that wasn’t too complicated.
