Blake Lively and Jenny Slate spoke about their most emotional scene together in their new film It ends with us.
The co-stars appeared in an exclusive interview with People magazine and broke down her most emotional and key moment of the film.
The film is a big-screen adaptation of Collen Hoover's novel, in which Lively plays the role of Lily Bloom and Slate plays the role of Lily's friend Allysa, who is also the sister of Ryle (Justin Baldoni) with whom Lily embarks on a toxic relationship.
Lily and Allysa have a scene near the end of the film where Alysa supports Lively's character and tells her not to return to the toxic relationship.
“You made it so easy. I just watched you,” Lively told Slate during the interview.
Lively continued, “I was like… 'I'm not going to get emotional. We've had so much emotion, I'm just going to act pretty stoic. ' Then she walks in and I was like… I had snot pouring out, full snot! [I was] “I'm really trying to contain it as much as possible.”
“For both of us,” Slate said, “there was an authentic connection where you know you're a character, but you can use looking at the other person and really seeing the content of this story that they're telling me, which is really tearing me apart. I didn't feel like there was any work involved in playing it.”
In addition, the Gossip Girl The alum admitted she “felt a lot of love, trust, safety and connection with” Slate on set.
Meanwhile, Slate was feeling nervous and said, “That's Blake. I don't want to eat it in front of her! I want to do a good job.”
