Blake Lively, natakot ilantad ang relasyon kay Penn Badgley
NOONG una ay natatakot si Blake Lively na baka hindi sumang- ayon ang mga boss ng Gossip Girl sa pakikipagrelasyon niya sa co- star na si
Penn Badgley, bago pa man niya nalaman na ito pala mismo ang nais na mangyari ng mga ito.
Ipinagdiriwang ng teen drama series ang tenth anniversary nito ngayong buwan, at patuloy na umaakit ang Gossip Girl ng bagong audience sa pagpapalabas ng programa sa streaming services gaya ng Netflix.
Sa loob ng limang taong pag-ere ng programa, naging magkarelasyon sina Blake at Penn, na sumasalamin sa mga nangyayari sa kanilang mga karakter sa show na sina Serena at Dan, ngunit natakot ang dalawang bituin sa magiging reaksiyon ng mga producer ng show sa kanilang offscreen romance.
“Stepping back from it, I can see it (that producers would be thrilled),” aniya sa Vanity Fair. “But I remember there was one point where we were just afraid of how our personal lives overlapping our work life could be perceived by our bosses.
“(But then) we were like, ‘Oh no, that’s exactly what they want.’ They wanted us all to date. They wanted us all to wear the same clothes that we’re wearing on the show. They wanted that, because then it fed their whole narrative. People could buy into this world.” Naghiwalay ang magkasintahan bago ipinalabas ang season two finale, at nagawa nila itong ilihim sa crew para makaiwas na madala ang anumang personal drama sa set. Idinagdag ni Blake, ngayon ay kasal na sa bituin ng Deadpool na si Ryan Reynolds, na iisipin ng marami na ang buhay niya ay kahawig sa privileged teen na si Serena, ngunit hindi ganito ang kanyang pakiramdam. “At the time I was wearing the same clothes and doing fashion shoots, and dating the same person that my character was dating, and because of that, what people were projecting onto me was that I was Serena... We look the same, and we acted the same as far as they could tell, because I wasn’t doing anything but that show,” paliwanag niya. “If (Penn and I) were photographed walking down the street, they didn’t know if it was a paparazzi shot or if it was a shot from the show. At the time, what was heightened was, wow, it all looks similar from the outside, but it’s so different on the inside.”
