Gigi was seen alongside her friend Blake Lively at the premiere event for the movie, urging the audience to think the obvious. Is Gigi Hadid somehow associated with the film? Or is she just accompanying Lively and being Hugh Jackman's plus one for the evening?
In this case, it is the latter. As of writing this article, a revised cast list for the film has been put up on IMDb, but it does not have Gigi Hadid's name. This implies that Hadid's presence during the events was just a sweet gesture from a close friend.
