Everything we know about Brandon Sklenar's thoughts on the legal battle between Justin and Blake
While talking about the Yellowstone prequel's second season on a recent episode of CBS Mornings, Gayle threw out the controversial opinion of choosing between the leading actors of It Ends With Us. Is Brandon "Team Blake or Team Justin," asked the co-host.
The actor addressed the question smartly and shared his perspective on this much-talked-about controversy. He laughed hearing the highly anticipated question and refused to take a side. Instead, he declared,
"I'm Team It Ends With Us."
The It Ends With Us actor expressed his views concerning the ongoing controversy and legal drama between his co-stars. Keeping personal biases aside, Sklenar emphasized more on the movie.
Responding to his approach to managing the present scenario, he mentioned that he wishes movie lovers to remember what the film stands for. It is crucial to understand why the cast made It Ends With Us; the actor does not want people to forget that. He wants fans to focus on the key matter.
"I just want people to remember why we made the movie in the first place and what it stands for, just keeping the focus on that," elaborated the star.
Talking about the movie on the morning show, Brandon spoke about knowing someone "very close" to him who faced similar experiences to the fictional character of Lily Bloom. He supported her during this unfortunate phase and remained on the front lines to help her in this strenuous and unexpected journey.
"I have someone very close to me who's gone through what Lily is going through for a long time and I've been on the front lines helping her navigate that space, so that movie meant a lot to me and it means a lot to her," he also shared.
The actor further continued,
"It's unfortunate that things get taken away from what the ethos of that thing is and it gets convoluted."
Reasons like this made It Ends With Us very meaningful to Sklenar. Brandon Sklenar's choice to be a part of the film helped the undisclosed woman to remain strong and aspire to change her life.
