Blake Lively

I would show up on a set. I knew that they just wanted me to show up and look cute and stand on a little pink sticker where I'm supposed to go and say what I'm supposed to say.

But I also knew that like that wasn't fulfilling for me, that I wanted to be a part of the storytelling, that I wanted to be a part of the narrative, whether that be in the writing, in the costume design, in creating the character. And sometimes I had directors or producers or writers who would welcome that and invite that once they saw that I was able to offer that.

So I think that for them, sometimes that might've felt like a rug pull because you're like, you're trying to assert yourself into something that we didn't hire you to do.

I just want to be clear that you should not be the intimacy coordinator. You should definitely hire intimacy coordinators, which we did have.
