As I delve deeper into the captivating world of “He’s All That,” I can’t help but be in awe of the transformative journey each cast member is embarking upon. Justin, who we all know as Ryle, has not only transformed his physical appearance by chopping off his long locks and hitting the gym, but he’s also embracing a new chapter in his career. His dedication to his craft, coupled with his self-deprecating humor, is truly inspiring.


No, you’re not seeing double: Blake Lively and Isabela Ferrer just look that much alike.

The similarity between Blake and her younger counterpart, Isabela (who portrays Lily Bloom in their latest film “It Ends With Us“), was more apparent when they both walked the red carpet at the film’s premiere on August 6, as they bore a striking resemblance to each other.

In a recent interview with TopMob News, I shared that every aspect of my look was the result of someone else’s handiwork – it was all thanks to her. On this special occasion, I chose an Oscar De La Renta dress, emulating Blake’s signature style. And as for my footwear, I proudly donned a pair of Louboutins, which belong to none other than her.

For the 24-year-old actress, who is making her debut in her first major film role with “It Ends With Us,” Blake Lively has played much more than merely a hairstylist.

As for myself, she’s been more than just an angel – a guiding light, a protective older sibling, and a cherished companion. I can’t help but wonder where I would find myself without her by my side.

The casting decision seemed incredibly fitting or destined (kismet). Not only did they get along personally well, but from an outsider’s viewpoint, their resemblances are striking, even extending to their vocal tones.

Just as Isabela playfully mentioned, people often ask, “Is this an AI or a real person?” To which she humorously responds, “I assure you, I’m very much real.”

However, Isabela explained that it wasn’t difficult for her and the former Gossip Girl actress to imitate each other so precisely because they found many similarities.

“She said it was quite serendipitous, as it turns out we’re quite alike. We had crossed paths twice before I began filming, and there was an instant connection. We both recognized similarities in each other and thought, ‘This is great! We can work well together.’ It’s a true privilege and blessing, absolutely amazing.”

Similarly, if the rising star were to choose a term to express her experience in assuming the role for the book “It Ends With Us,” it would be the same as referring to privilege, considering the immense following that Colleen Hoover’s original novel has garnered since its debut in 2016.

“Isabela mused that it wasn’t so much pressure as it was a significant responsibility regarding the project. There was also a deep sense of reverence for the task at hand, given its origin from Colleen, who entrusted us with her creation.”

Prior to the movie’s scheduled release on August 9, Isabela shared a final message with her eagerly waiting supporters.

She expressed her gratitude, adding, “I wish you’ll appreciate it, as it was crafted especially for you. My efforts are all due to your influence. And may the affection poured into this book through this film be reciprocated.”

As a lifestyle enthusiast, I’m thrilled to share that I, myself, will be playing the intricate role of Lily’s romantic interest in a film, while also stepping behind the camera to direct this project. This exciting opportunity comes from my work on “Jane the Virgin,” where I’ve had the privilege of portraying a character and now, expanding my creative horizons by taking on the director’s role as well.

Regarding the rest of the team working off-screen, both Justin and Blake along with Colleen will have creative input as executive producers. Additionally, Alex Saks (The Florida Project) and Christy Hall (I Am Not Okay With This), who is responsible for writing the script, are also part of the production team. According to a press release from Wayfarer Studios and Sony Pictures.

Apart from Blake, another cast member, Justin, also altered his hairstyle for the character he plays. In preparation for filming, Justin got a haircut and shortened his long locks to embody Ryle’s clean-cut appearance. On April 15, Justin shared a video on Instagram, showing his new look and mentioning that he was donating his cut hair to Locks of Love.

Apart from getting a new hairstyle, Justin also shared that he’s been working out at the gym. “Quite a transformation in seven days,” Justin labeled a photo uploaded on April 17. “I trimmed my hair, I’m indulging in carbs now, and I guess I’m seeking approval from online users by posting these workout snaps. Hmm… Is this considered a ‘thirst trap’? Let me check. Oh, I just looked it up. I shouldn’t have googled that.”

Brandon Sklenar, famous for his role in the “1923” spin-off of “Yellowstone,” will portray Atlas. Atlas is Lily’s old friend and past love interest, who later emerges as a romantic adversary to Ryle.

On April 20th, I excitedly announced on Twitter that Brandon has been cast for the role in #Atlas, saying, “Ladies and gentlemen… let me present to you, your new cast member!”

Following the exciting announcement, I couldn’t help but express my feelings on a platform that’s become an extension of myself – Instagram. I poured my heart out, sharing my joy and gratitude about this incredible opportunity to be part of this movie.

“Upon encountering this project, I hadn’t previously known about this influential book or its profound global impact on empowering women to transform their lives. This topic resonates deeply with me as I’ve encountered an overwhelming number of women who have suffered abuse. Our aim is for the film to further disseminate the crucial message of this book – to inspire women and educate men. I feel privileged to be involved in such a project.”

Acknowledging Jenny’s exceptional skills, Colleen shared on social media that she was astonished to find herself sharing the screen with her.
