Justin Baldoni

Justin Louis Baldoni (born January 24, 1984) is an American actor and director. He is best known for his role portraying Rafael Solano on the CW telenovela ''Jane the Virgin'' (2014–2019). He has since directed romantic drama films such as ''Five Feet Apart'' (2019), and ''Clouds'' (2020).

He also directed and starred opposite Blake Lively in romance drama ''It Ends with Us'' (2024), adapted from the Colleen Hoover book of the same name. The film was a box-office hit despite receiving mixed reviews. The filming was subject to substantive media attention and as of December 2024, both Lively and Baldoni have filed lawsuits related to the production of the film. ''The New York Times'' reported Lively's allegations against Baldoni of widespread sexual harassment and retaliation to which he responded by suing them accusing them of libel over their reporting.

Baldoni co-founded the production company, Wayfarer Entertainment in 2019. Through his company he has produced and co-hosted the ''Man Enough'' podcast. He has also published two books centering on male privilege and toxic masculinity. Provided by Wikipedia
