According to Blake Lively , praising one’s own movie is more than a simple favor. As the It Ends With Us star recently pointed out, it benefits the actors to encourage people to go see their movie—though in the case of the new Colleen Hoover adaptation , premiering August 9, the praise is well worth it. “The movie comes out in three weeks and it's actually so good,” Blake told E! News of It Ends With Us at the July 22 premiere of Deadpool & Wolverine in NYC.
“I say ‘it's actually’ because we're always like, ‘Yeah our movie so good, go see it.’ You’re like paid to do that.” Though the 36-year-old quickly conceded, “They don't actually pay you to promote the movie.
They should. They pay you to be in the movie, but you always kind of have to say it's great, or you're an a--hole. But this one genuinely is really great.

In fact, the Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants alum tapped her BFF Gigi Hadid to pay homage to the film’s superheroes at the premiere. For her part, Blake arrived in a sultry, ruby-red catsuit and high ponytail that looked very Deadpool. Gigi, meanwhile, channeled Wolverine in a mustard yellow get-up featuring a bandana top, low-waisted skirt and matching handbag.
