Burley Garcia|Blake Lively Quips She’d Be an “A--hole” If She Did This

According to Blake Lively,Burley Garcia 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.” (For more from the premiere, tune into E! News tonight, July 23 at 11 p.m.)

But before her own film comes out, Blake is all-in when it comes to supporting husband Ryan Reynolds newest installment in the Deadpool franchise, which also costars Hugh Jackman as Wolverine.

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.

Though don’t take their outfits as choosing a side in the Deadpool vs. Wolverine rivalry. As Gigi said to E! News, “We’re both on both teams. I guess we'll see. I have to see the movie, and then I'll decide.”

And his wife’s support clearly means a lot to Ryan himself, as he took a moment during his onstage speech at the premiere to share a tribute to her and their children: daughters James, 9, Inez, 7, and Betty, 4, as well as their fourth baby, whose name Ryan revealed to be Olin.

"I want to start by saying thank you to my wife Blake, who is here," the 47-year-old said. "I want to thank my kids James, Inez, Betty, Olin, who are here: I hope that, if I’m lucky, this moment will be the most traumatic thing—that is, the contents of this movie—that happens in your wondrous life."

As he simply put it, "I love that my entire family is here."
