Blake Lively’s Marie Claire cover is just one of many magazines the Gossip Girl has appeared on this year. I mean she is everywhere!
The cover features her in a Bottega Veneta bikini and pink sweater that is a bit Mr. Rogers-ish, but she pulls it off quite nicely. The young star has been all over the press lately, and at 22, she seems unstoppable. There may be a few things you’d be surprised to find out about her—the interview with MC is actually very revealing.
Here are a couple of snippets from the interview:
On what it was like to work with Maria Bello on her new film: “I was honestly terrified. I hadn’t slept that much, and all I wanted that day was for Maria to say, “Wow, great job.” And when she didn’t say anything to me, I thought, Oh, my gosh, I’m terrible. She hates it. She’s calling her agent, saying, “What have you gotten me into?”
On her real life vs. the character’s she portrays: “As a character, I get to be this wild, outgoing person that I’m so not. I think it all comes from being the youngest of five. I was always observing my siblings and hearing stories about their lives that turned out to be helpful as an actress.”
On the little known fact that she is actually a “Southern girl”: “I grew up in L.A., but I was the only one in my family born there. I have a tight-knit Southern family, so whenever I tell people I’m from L.A., they say, “Yeah, but you don’t count,” I guess because of the Southern values I was raised with, and the way I eat—the more sugary and cheesy and fried, the better.”
On jumping from school to school as a girl: “…When I was only 3 years old, my mom enrolled me in the first grade. My older brother was supposed to start school, but he didn’t want to go alone, so my mom told them I was 6 since I was so tall. But after a few weeks, they said they would have to put me in mentally disabled classes because I wasn’t up to pace with the rest of the kids. They thought that I was slow because all I wanted to do was sleep while the other kids were doing their projects. [laughs] So my mom took me out of school.”
