ACTRESS BLAKE LIVELY ON WHY HER HUSBAND IS HER BEST FRIEND, LEAVING HOLLYWOOD BEHIND WHEN SHE GETS HOME AND HER PLANS TO OPEN HER OWN RESTAURANT
‘You Have To Make Your Own Luck'

Blake Lively, 32, was born into a showbiz family in California and quickly followed in the footsteps of her parents and siblings. She first caught Hollywood’s attention in the 2005 cult classic The Sisterhood of the Travelling Pants before gracing the silver screen as Serena van der Woodsen in Gossip Girl. Blake met her husband, Deadpool actor Ryan Reynolds, 43, while they were filming Green Lantern. The couple got married in 2012 and have three children.

I was quite shy growing up. In high school, I felt insecure about standing out in a crowd because I was quite tall. It wasn’t until I started acting classes that I was able to overcome my shy, awkward nature. When I was about 15, I started becoming much more outgoing and enthusiastic; I’d spent so much time being this strange introvert when deep down I was longing to have fun and be expressive. Acting has helped me become more assertive and less withdrawn because you’re forced to put on this wonderful façade.
