  • Blake Lively shared a cheeky photo on her Instagram Stories and encouraged followers to watch "Free Guy" this weekend
  • The actress showed off her backside in a white bikini with floral print
  • Lively called out Rotten Tomatoes for using Ryan Gosling's photo instead of Ryan Reynolds' in a report about "Free Guy"

Blake Lively is showing her support for husband Ryan Reynolds' movie, "Free Guy," with a cheeky new photo on social media.

The 33-year-old actress took to her Instagram Stories Thursday to post a snap of herself posing in a white bikini with floral print with her back to the camera, showing off her fit backside. In the snap, Lively is surrounded by turquoise water, lounge chairs and umbrellas as she hangs out by a palm tree-framed pool.

"Go see @freeguymovie this weekend or you'll be bummed," Lively captioned the image, in which she added a gif of Reynolds in the pool.

In a subsequent post, Lively called out Rotten Tomatoes for using Ryan Gosling's photo instead of Reynolds' in its report about "Free Guy" joining the ranks among the "best action comedies ever."

"@rottentomatoes, really?" she wrote, adding, "This photo is very confusing to all the people who can't tell Canadian Ryans apart."

In "Free Guy," Reynolds plays a bank teller named Guy who discovers that he's actually a background character in an open-world video game called "Free City." When he learns that their world is being threatened as the game is going offline, he teams up with Molotov Girl (Jodie Comer) to save the day.

Aside from Reynolds and Comer, the movie also stars Joe Keery as Keys, Taika Waititi as Antoine, Utkarsh Ambudkar as Mouser and Lil Rel Howery as Buddy.

Last year, Reynolds opened up about filming "Free Guy" during a virtual press conference with director Shawn Levy and his fellow cast members.

"I don't think I said it was the best experience I'd ever had, because if my kids see this, you know," he was quoted by Entertainment Tonight as saying. "I do think it's the best moviemaking experience that I've ever had, easily, but also the best movie I've ever done. It's the most pertinent to our times, in that sense. Where I feel 'Deadpool' was a movie that was pertinent to the comic book culture when it came out, this really to me speaks in a broader spectrum of where we are in the world and how we are in the world."

"Free Guy" was originally scheduled to hit theaters in July 2020. However, it was pushed back to December and then to a further date due to the pandemic. The film will hit theaters on Friday.
