Blake Lively

On Live with Kelly and Mark (1988), she stated that her older brother Eric Lively didn't want to go to school alone when it came time for him to start first grade. At the time, she was 3 but very tall for her age, so her mother lied and said that she was 6. She attended first grade and the school reported that she was "slow", when actually she was three years old and couldn't talk very well yet. She claims that it made her brother happy, so she was happy.
When auditioning for The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants (2005), she walked in and gave them only her photo, since she had never done anything before. They all thought she was joking, but when she left the room, they knew that she was definitely the Bridget that they wanted.
On September 9, 2012, she married her boyfriend of 11 months, Ryan Reynolds, at Boone Hall Plantation in Mount Pleasant, South Carolina. They first met in early 2010 while filming Green Lantern (2011), in which they co-starred.
The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants (2005) was her first job ever, not just in acting.
She stands a little over 5'10" and has stated that she is rather self-conscious about being tall and dislikes wearing heels.

My whole family's been in the business. My whole family is crazy.
(On filming racy scenes on Gossip Girl (2007)) It's the most awkward thing! There's a room of 40 people watching you, they're telling you exactly how to move your head, and it's completely silent. It's awful!
In high school, there are so many cliques. You're never safe. In between my junior and senior years, I went away to film The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants (2005), and I came back ready to do the things with my friends that we always did, but things change. People get older, and there are some inside jokes that you don't know about that have happened. You feel lost for a while, and it's hard to come back from that. Then the friends who have "replaced" you are territorial. I've experienced that a little bit. There are catty, insecure, and gossipy girls everywhere, but for me, I don't think it's a matter of any of them being genuinely bad at heart. I just think that maybe the different ways in which people are raised make them different and insecure. They point out the bad things in others just to make themselves feel better. It's everywhere.
(After moving to New York to film Gossip Girl (2007)) I was raised in California, so this whole New York winter thing is completely new for me. I've already justified buying seven coats!
I've kissed just three people in my life, other than stuff I have done for TV or movies. I know, I'm weird! I hope Brad Pitt doesn't hear this, he is never going to want to marry me!
