It Ends With Us writer Christy Hall has responded to Ryan Reynolds' involvement in some of the film's dialogue.

Earlier this month, star Blake Lively revealed that her husband secretly wrote for the Colleen Hoover adaptation, specifically for the most famous scene, set on a rooftop. She explained that no-one outside of the couple knew he did that until her public revelation.

Speaking to People, Hall stated: "There were a couple of little things that I thought had been improvised. Like when he says, 'Pretty please with a cherry on top,' and she talks about the maraschino cherries.

"When I saw a cut I was like, 'Oh, that's cute. That must have been a cute improvised thing.' So if I'm being told that Ryan wrote that, then great, how wonderful.

"There were a few little flourishes that I did not write, but I assumed that they had been improvised on set. But, again, like I said, the moments that I felt like needed to be honored are there. So I recognize the scene and I'm proud of the scene. And if those flourishes came from Ryan, I think that's wonderful."

Hall also pondered if a moment that features 'With Arms Wide Open' by Creed was also penned by Reynolds, stating: "I laughed my ass off when I first saw that, because I assumed that was improvised – maybe Ryan Reynolds wrote those lines!

"I'd be curious to know where that line came from because I loved that moment. We needed some levity, we needed a laugh, and we got it in that moment. That's probably one of the biggest ones that really sticks out to me that I absolutely love."

It Ends With Us is out in cinemas now.
