"They are both c-list actors but parade themselves as much more"
"Movie star? Are you sure you don't mean white and blond?"

I desperately need the context of this gif.

What is happening here lmao

[deja_vu822]

ok well that cover shoot was awful because it didn't look like her and hugh were ever in the same room together for it

[jojito]

"I'm a very shy person, so I don’t like doing photo shoots, really. Because when I'm acting, I'm playing a character. And I don't…I don't feel super comfortable in front of a camera. It's part of why I don't want to be in magazines." I can count like 50 lies in here.

[hotdoggoz]

This quote is especially funny because in this specific photoshoot she is supposed to be playing a character! Like her character has a name and everything!

[glitterslugs]

bold thing to say for someone who plays Blake Lively in every movie

[solookup]

She needs a live fact checker.

From the article:

“As she is showing me pictures on her phone, I’m watching her and wondering: What makes a movie star? There are so few left, at least in the old-fashioned sense of Grace Kelly and Audrey Hepburn, and here I sit before one of the last of these rare creatures.”

Uh. Is the last of these rare creatures in the room with us?

Please tell me that's not Baz saying this.

[meetviolent]

Ha! No, it was the writer. But Baz does get quoted about her being such a movie star or something.

[squirrels_oh_no]

I don't see Baz putting her in one of his movies if she's a star.

It's really interesting how this panned out because technically speaking she's more well-known than Justin, so it should've been relatively easy to bury him. But because she had literally no legit tea on him, it's all been snowballing against her.

The cast is escaping major criticism but they all (particularly the women and that one guy) are looking like asskissers cause I don't think any of them have produced tea either.

fr i haven’t thought about justin baldoni since jane the virgin ended, forgot that he existed and everything, and i was shocked to find out he had shooters 😭

but idk, i personally was getting extremely annoyed of the seemingly endless deadpool promo, and blake has been front and center in all of taylor’s pap walks for the last couple of years. the overexposure combined with the lack of tea on justin and i think it was just the perfect storm.

[genbu_no_miko24]

Yeah I only heard his name around him relating to JTV posts. I never watched the show.

"d blake has been front and center in all of taylor’s pap walks for the last couple of years. the overexposure combined with the lack of tea on justin and i think it was just the perfect storm"

Her literally hanging on Taylor is so pathetic and opportunistic, it's make sense why she's friends with her lol. It's funny cause despite the fact she was in a popular series and has done some films....she comes off as a newbie trying to get her career launched via her more famous friend lol.

[donaestrangera]

I think she thought she had Swifties on her side and could pull this off, but from what I’ve seen, she only has like, 50% of the Swifties lol, which wasn’t enough. All those pap walks got to her head and made her think people loved seeing her when anyone could have told her they actually just want to see Taylor.

I think directors are going to be afraid to cast her from now on for fear of being the target of a smear campaign so she needs to either beg Ryan for a part or beg Taylor for a part in that directorial debut, or roll her sleeves up and actually learn how to produce if she’s so desperate to be like Margot! Good luck Blake lol.
