Justin Baldoni's Body Double on ‘Tense' Set Dynamics Amid Lawsuit Drama
As Justin Baldoni and Blake Lively's legal battle continues to develop, his body double recalled the 'tense' environment on the sets of 'It Ends With Us.' Thomas Canestraro described the dynamic between the co-stars and the considerable delays in the schedule.
'You could tell that the set was tense. There was some discomfort from everybody,' Canestraro told the Daily Mail. He revealed that his five-day filming schedule in New Jersey turned out to be a two-week job. Initially, he was confused while thinking about the reason. However, given the alleged on-set dynamic, Canestraro suspected tension between Baldoni and Lively.
In a recent interview with the Daily Mail, Justin Baldoni's body double, Thomas Canestraro, explained Blake Lively's reserved behavior on the 'It Ends With Us' set. He noticed that he had an 'easy time' working with the 'Gossip Girl' actor during the 2018 film, 'A Simple Favor.' However, on the 2024 movie set, Lively seemed 'more closed off.'
Canestraro further told the tabloid that her husband, Ryan Reynolds, often visited her on the set. Baldoni's body double recalled, 'Originally, I came on set my first day, Ryan is on set, and I'm like, 'Oh, my God. What a cool thing,' it's like when I was in 'A Simple Favor.'' He remembered thinking, 'What a supportive husband who just came on set to cheer his wife … I just love that about them, that's a cool synergy in that couple.' However, things became clear after coming across news headlines about Lively's sexual harassment case against Baldoni.
Moreover, Canestraro alleged that he would not take any sides. He understood why Reynolds made appearances on the film set. The 38-year-old body double also noted that the dispute might have affected Baldoni as well. Canestraro even hoped the two actors 'can find an agreement.' He further said, 'We don't need that in the industry. At the same time, you can't discredit anybody's feeling, and anybody's experience.'
The legal battle between the 'It Ends With Us' co-stars started in December. In the lawsuit, she accused her co-star of sexual assault on the film set. In response, Justin Baldoni filed a $400 million countersuit against the married couple and their publicist, Leslie Sloane, denying the allegations.

Orlando Bloom Is Finally Done Hiding Struggles With Katy Perry And Feels 'Normal' Again
After months of quiet tension, Orlando Bloom and Katy Perry have officially gone their separate ways. While the split may not surprise insiders, Bloom's recent behavior suggests a man relieved to finally live on his own terms. The actor is in Venice, partaking in Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sánchez's wedding festivities and has enjoyed himself throughout. Bloom is reportedly embracing his return to self after enduring months of emotional strain in his relationship with Katy Perry. According to a source close to the actor, Bloom is feeling like his 'normal self' again. The couple had faced mounting tension, and, despite several make-or-break moments over the years, this time appears to be the final one. 'They had broken up before and in the following years things could get tense and to a point where it was often make or break, and they would choose to make up,' the insider revealed to the Daily Mail. 'But shortly after her Video Vanguard Award and performance in September, they started to disconnect more as she was getting ready to release music, go on tour and take the space flight.' After the holidays, things deteriorated even further. 'It was just one little thing after another,' the source added. The couple was last seen together in March at the Vanity Fair Oscars party, and weeks of rumors culminated in the confirmation of their breakup. Behind the scenes, Perry and Bloom had started drifting apart by the end of 2024. 'After the holidays and into the New Year, it became easier to live their individual lives instead of a life together,' the insider explained. While they've reconciled in the past, sources say there's no chance of another reunion. 'He isn't going to try to get her back. It's over and he has accepted it,' a source shared. Bloom and Perry got engaged on Valentine's Day in 2019 after first connecting over In-N-Out burgers in 2016. They welcomed their daughter, Daisy Dove, in 2020, and planned a wedding in Japan later that year. However, COVID-19 threw everything off course, and work commitments eventually overshadowed those plans. Bloom hinted at their struggles during an interview with Trevor Noah in April 2024. 'She definitely demands that I evolve and I feel I do the same for her,' he shared. 'That makes for fireworks, pardon the pun, but it also makes for a lot of fun and a lot of growth.' He added, 'I wouldn't change it for anything even when sometimes it feels like 'how do we do this', because we've got these two giant careers and lives and hers… it's like a universe sometimes.' Despite the breakup, both stars remain focused on their daughter Daisy. 'They are both relieved that they don't have to deal with a messy divorce as they both believe they can figure out how to handle co-parenting,' a source said. 'Right now they need their space, but they will both figure out what is best for Daisy.' Orlando Bloom has successfully co-parented before, with ex-wife Miranda Kerr, with whom he shares 14-year-old son Flynn. Kerr once described the "Lord of the Rings" star as a 'great dad,' and their split was notably amicable. In contrast, Katy Perry's previous marriage to Russell Brand ended abruptly, via text, minutes before she was set to perform on New Year's Eve in 2011. She later called Brand 'very controlling.' As Katy Perry continues her Lifetimes Tour in Australia, Orlando Bloom has been spotted enjoying himself in Venice at Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sánchez's $20 million wedding celebration. The festivities have become a welcome distraction for Bloom, who reportedly feels a sense of relief now that he no longer has to 'hide' his relationship troubles. 'Bloom is not planning to lead a playboy lifestyle,' the insider said. 'He is happy to be out and about at Jeff's wedding. He just wants to live life. Be his normal self.' Still, the actor raised eyebrows after sharing a water taxi with a mystery brunette, having earlier greeted Kim Kardashian warmly and hung out with Tom Brady. Despite the speculation, sources close to Bloom insist he's not chasing headlines, just clarity.

Sabrina Carpenter Puts Feud Rumors to Rest at Olivia Rodrigo Concert
THE RUNDOWN On Friday, Sabrina Carpenter was seen supporting Olivia Rodrigo at her BST Hyde Park concert in London. Rodrigo was headlining the event and Carpenter could be seen enjoying the music from the VIP section. Both pop stars formerly dated actor Joshua Bassett, leading to longstanding rumors of feuding or competition beginning around 2021, but it seems obvious that both Carpenter and Rodrigo have moved on. Carpenter can be seen in photos shared by the Daily Mail wearing a semi-sheer white baby doll dress and a pair of black-framed glasses. Over one shoulder she wore a red purse and was holding a glass of wine, smiling widely during the show. On stage, Rodrigo wore a black bodysuit with large torso cutouts covered in silver fringe with a pair of black boots. She was later joined on stage by Ed Sheeran. Bassett is rumored to be the subject of Rodrigo's 2021 hit song 'Driver's License,' after they dated while filming the popular show High School Musical: The Musical: The Series in 2019. In 2020, Carpenter and Bassett were romantically linked, but they supposedly split in 2021. In her song, Rodrigo sings about 'that blonde girl' who 'made [her] doubt' the relationship. Rodrigo is now dating actor Louis Partridge, who she was first seen with in late 2023. Carpenter has since been linked to Shawn Mendes and Barry Keoghan, and is now supposedly single. In a 2024 interview with ELLE, Partridge dodged a question about whether Rodrigo's song 'So American' was about him, joking, 'Not my song, not my place. So I wouldn't know.' He did share, 'My girlfriend has been trying to get me into more pop recently—Chappell Roan has been on repeat.' He also said that he sees himself as a golden retriever boyfriend type. 'I think in past relationships my mind worked at a different speed to the women I've known,' he said. 'A bit slower. The way I would characterize it is like a Golden Retriever and a black cat. I can imagine being happy sitting and catching a Frisbee.'
