Hugh Jackman has been the latest celebrity to get dragged into the Blake Lively-Justin Baldoni court room drama. While their trial is scheduled for next year, things have taken a turn for the worse already as other stars are expected to be involved in some way or the other, through witnesses or depositions. While Jackman is yet to speak up about his friends’ legal troubles, he shared a surprise announcement.
Via his Instagram, the actor announced that he will be launching a new company, Together, dedicated solely to live theatres and making them more accessible. Here is all you need to know about it.
Hugh Jackman’s surprise announcement
Hugh Jackman has come together with Tony Award winner Sonia Friedman and director Ian Rickson to launch the company, Together. Created solely for the purpose of making live theatres that are more intimate, accessible, and fresh, Together, is an attempt to rediscover what made theatres famous in the first place.
Announcing the happy news on his Instagram, the actor shared that they “will be driven by a commitment to offering audiences a chance to experience theater in a fresh and engaging way.”
From short runs of fully rehearsed, full-length plays along with readings, panel discussions, and other events, the company will provide the audiences a chance to experience cost-friendly in the US, UK as well as other countries.
‘Together’ is about going back to basics, rediscovering the simple, thrilling essence of live performance. At the same time, this isn’t about our stepping away from Broadway or the West End — it’s about supporting and coexisting alongside them.
Giving a chance to actors, writers, and directors to experiment and explore, Together will also focus on equal pay for actors, flexible work schedules, collaborative efforts, and shared creative credit. One to as many people as possible, it is a genuine and carefully crafted venture that aims to change the way audiences think of theatres while keeping the craft alive and blooming.
Hugh Jackman might get dragged into Blake Lively-Justin Baldoni courtroom drama
While Blake Lively‘s bestie Taylor Swify ended up being a huge part of her ongoing drama with It Ends With Us co-star and director, Justin Baldoni, it seems even Ryan Reynolds‘ bestie, Hugh Jackman, might face the same fate.
As the Lively-Baldoni drama continues since Lively first filed a lawsuit back in December, things have taken a turn for much worse. As of now, the court of public opinion is against Hollywood’s power couple. In a bid to amend that or make their claims more credible, a source close to Daily Mail has revealed that Jackman will too be dragged into Blake Lively-Justin Baldoni courtroom drama.
According to the source, Jackman is supposed to be deposed before the trial as Baldoni’s legal team wants to get the full scope of Reynolds’ conduct during the time It Ends With Us was filming.
As Ryan’s good friend, who starred in the film and was with Blake and Ryan many times in private during that time, his deposition will likely be crucial. They are not going to leave any stone unturned.
Reynolds and Jackman were filming for Deadpool & Wolverine around the same time that It Ends With Us was in production, and since Jackman helped promote the latter as well, the attorneys want to get a full picture of everything. Well, things are about to get even more messy and fans are here for it.
