The 1923 actor’s sweet gesture for his co-star comes on the heels of Lively’s lawsuit against Baldoni. The Green Lantern actress has accused the 40-year-old filmmaker of sexual harassment while on the set of It Ends With Us. Lively claimed that “things got so bad during filming, there was an all-hands-on-deck meeting to address what she claims was a hostile work environment.”

Lively has also accused Baldoni of launching a “smear campaign” against her to tarnish her reputation and public image, which caused her family “severe emotional distress,” reported TMZ. Meanwhile, the Jane the Virgin actor’s lawyer, Bryan Freedman alleged that the lawsuit was designed to “fix her [Lively’s] negative reputation.”
