Michele Morrone Breaks Silence on Blake Lively Amid Legal Firestorm—What He Really Thinks!

Michele Morrone, the Italian actor known for his role in 365 Days, had nothing but praise for his Another Simple Favor co-star, Blake Lively, during an interview with The Hollywood Reporter. The pair, who star in the highly anticipated sequel to A Simple Favor, shared a strong on-screen chemistry, and Morrone was quick to highlight the positive working relationship they developed during filming.

“We have an incredible friendship; we’ve become such great friends,” Morrone said, reflecting on his time working with Lively. “She’s an incredible artist; she’s a great actress and it was a blast.” Their camaraderie on and off set clearly made an impact on the actor, who expressed his admiration for Lively’s talent and work ethic.

In addition to Morrone’s glowing remarks, the film’s director, Paul Feig, also spoke highly of Lively, particularly her creative input regarding her character’s wardrobe. “Her ideas on wardrobe are spectacular,” Feig shared. “When she first shows up [in the movie], Blake was like, ‘I want to show up in a suit that looks like a prison outfit.’ It’s one of these things that when somebody first says it, you’re like, ‘That’s weird.’ Then you realize it’s actually brilliant.” Feig’s praise further highlights Lively’s ability to influence her role and make meaningful contributions to her character’s development in the film.

Another Simple Favor marks Lively’s first major premiere since her legal battle with It Ends With Us director Justin Baldoni, with whom she filed a sexual harassment lawsuit. Lively has also accused Baldoni of attempting to damage her reputation following the debut of their film. Despite the ongoing controversy, Lively’s professionalism and focus on her work remain evident as she continues to take the industry by storm.

The sequel to A Simple Favor follows Lively’s character, Emily Nelson, who is now married to a wealthy Italian businessman. Her best friend, Stephanie Smothers (played by Anna Kendrick), serves as Emily’s maid of honor, and the two women travel to Capri for the wedding celebration.

Fans can look forward to the sequel’s release on Prime Video, where it will be available for streaming starting May 1st. With a talented cast and a compelling storyline, Another Simple Favor is shaping up to be another captivating thriller, and Lively’s dynamic on-screen presence promises to keep audiences hooked.
