Many of Blake Lively’s fans are not on board with her new role, if the response on Twitter is anything to go by. “Blake Lively, how could you star in a Colleen Hoover adaptation? How could you do this to me?” tweeted one disappointed fan. Another placed the blame on Hoover, tweeting, “Colleen Hoover and her nasty book coming for no other than Blake Lively, like, LEAVE MOTHER ALONE.” Meanwhile, one fan tweeted a video of Viola Davis’ “How To Get Away With Murder” character trying to revive a dead body. “Me trying to stop Blake Lively from doing that Colleen Hoover movie,” they captioned the video. Another fan had an even harsher stance against not just the role but Lively’s artistic choices. They tweeted: “Blake Lively could’ve been one of the greatest actresses of our time and yet she ended up choosing the worst roles possible. Like seriously, what memorable thing has she done besides the Met Gala dress in the last few years?”
One person who is obviously pleased with Lively’s involvement is Colleen Hoover herself. The divisive author took to Instagram on Thursday to confirm the big news. “Our Lily is going to be played by Blake Lively,” said Hoover. “Blake Lively, y’all! She’s my dream Lily.” She also gushed about Justin Baldoni’s involvement, which entails both acting and directing.
