Justin Baldoni<\/a> faced quite the challenge while working on It Ends With Us<\/em><\/a>, where he wasn’t just starring alongside Blake Lively<\/a> but also taking on the demanding role of director for this adaptation of Colleen Hoover’s BookTok sensation. The 40-year-old star found himself pushed to his limits during the production, dealing with pressures from both sides of the camera.<\/p>\n

\u201cDirecting is a very lonely job, I’ll just be very candid, because you are kind of at the top of this totem pole,\u201d Justin said on the How to Fail with Elizabeth Day<\/a> podcast Dec. 4. \u201cIn your moments of quiet, everybody has a thousand questions for you and also nobody wants to disturb you. And you don’t really have many people to talk to and you can’t necessarily share your anxiety or your nervousness about something because you’re also the leader.\u201d<\/p>\n

The weight of portraying Ryle Kincaid\u2014the abusive spouse to Blake’s character Lily Bloom\u2014while directing added another layer of complexity that nearly pushed Justin to his breaking point during filming.<\/p>\n
