According to Paul Feig, Blake Lively is not at all like the cunning and alluring Emily that she portrays in Another Simple Favor.
The 62-year-old American director, who helmed the 2018 original film A Simple Favor as well as the recent follow-up, disclosed in an interview with Entertainment Tonight that the 37-year-old Hollywood actress maintains a stark contrast when compared to Emily.
“Blake simply embodies Emily in a way that’s hilarious because Blake is nothing like Emily in real life,” Feig stated. Blake is a really nice and amazing mother, but when she gets close to Emily, she acts like a tiger.
Interestingly, the Ghostbusters director has already praised Lively’s ability to play Emily on screen.
