00:00Secret details about Blake Lively that were hidden from the public
00:04Blake, can you say hi to Stephanie, she's my girlfriend
00:07Hi Stephanie, you should leave him
00:10Blake Lively comparing herself to the heroine of Game of Thrones, Khaleesi
00:16She's not always the sweetheart with fans
00:18You'd expect anyone who's scrolled social media long enough has run across both heartfelt and downright cringy Blake Lively fan stories
00:26What does that mean?
00:28The star can be unbelievably charming one moment, like at that 2023 Wrexham game when a fan asked for a video message for his girlfriend Stephanie
00:37And Blake quipped, you should leave him
00:40Blake Lively playfully trolls a fan
00:42I just like to have fun
00:44Blake, can you say hi to Stephanie, she's my girlfriend
00:46Hi Stephanie, you should leave him
00:49Everyone, including Stephanie, found it hilarious
00:53The girlfriend later gushed in the Daily Mail that she was just crying from excitement
00:58It was the perfect example of Blake's playful wit, and fans ate it up
01:02Blake Lively is getting the backlash of her life as many past and hidden secrets of her meanness are exposed
01:08Yet the same fan lady of the people vibe took a nosedive at the 2024 London screening of It Ends With Us
01:15As seen in a French Aliceen video that quickly went viral, Blake was handed a pink friendship bracelet
01:20Reportedly inspired by Taylor Swift's heiress tour tradition, only to have her underwhelm the giver
01:26While co-star Isabella Ferrer happily donned her own identical bracelet
01:31Blake basically said, I'm gonna put it here because it doesn't go with my outfit, but I will wear it later
01:37The net result? Her words sounded more like a dismissive brush off than a sincere thank you
01:43Many fans hopped on TikTok to call it a small but telling sign of Blake's alleged aloofness
01:49After all, it's a fan gift
01:51Would it take so much for her to slip it on for a second? Or at least fake a bigger smile?
01:56Swifties in particular found it jarring that Blake didn't show more gratitude
02:01For some, it reinforced the idea that she can turn her charm on or off depending on the moment
02:06In short, dealing with Blake as a fan can be a total gamble
02:11She allegedly called herself a ball buster in secret texts
02:15The behind the scenes drama on It Ends With Us lit up Hollywood gossip columns
02:19And part of the reason was a wave of alleged text messages that came to light in Justin Baldoni's $400 million counter suit
02:27One set in particular had jaws dropping
02:29Blake reportedly described her approach to some scenes as flirty and yummy
02:34And confessed, I'm a ball buster, it's my love language
02:38If you blinked and missed it, yes, that's the same star who's often typecast as the breezy, sunshiny sweetheart
02:44But from these texts, it sounds like she was more than willing to push boundaries on set
02:49Or at least talk big about it in private convos
02:52Critics pointed to these lines to argue that Blake might relish taking charge in ways that overshadow a director's or co-star's comfort
02:59Meanwhile, fans who've always adored her read them as playful banter
03:03Still, it was enough to stoke the rumor mill about how she interacts with male colleagues
03:08Did Justin Baldoni find it endearing or borderline manipulative?
03:12The man obviously felt offended enough to compile these receipts in his suit
03:16The entire fiasco not only tarnished some folks' squeaky clean image of Blake
03:21But also painted her as someone who might enjoy challenging people around her
03:25She compared herself to Khaleesi in more alleged chats
03:29As if calling herself a ball buster wasn't enough
03:32Blake evidently told Justin that she was basically Khaleesi from Game of Thrones
03:37With Ryan Reynolds and Taylor Swift as her dragons
03:40Wait, what?
03:41In the docs, Justin alleges that Blake bragged about having these mega celebs as protector dragons
03:47Implying that messing with her also means messing with Taylor Swift or Ryan Reynolds
03:52She allegedly said something like
03:54I happen to have a few dragons
03:56For better or worse, but usually for better
03:59Apparently, she's queen of her domain
04:01And those who cross her, like say, a certain co-star director
04:05Do so at their own risk
04:07Fans swiftly joked about the Mother of Dragons reference
04:10But for Justin, it came off as a straight-up threat that she wields enormous star power
04:16If it's true, it's a jarring peek at Blake's behind-the-scenes swagger
04:20Maybe it's an in-joke
04:22Maybe she wasn't being that serious
04:24But from Justin's vantage point, it sounded downright intimidating
04:28After all, Taylor Swift basically runs the pop world
04:32And Ryan Reynolds is now a Hollywood business powerhouse
04:35So if Blake's calling them her dragons, the message is
04:39I can call on powerful friends to tilt public sentiment anytime I want
04:43Regardless, it's not the kind of text you'd expect from the sweet-faced star
04:48Who typically radiates warmth on talk shows
04:51She's avoided magazine covers out of shyness
04:54One of the more surprising tidbits about Blake is that she's apparently camera shy
04:59At least when she's not acting
05:01A-lister who starred in major films and served iconic red carpet looks
05:05Yet she claims to hate being the focus of magazine shoots
05:09In a 24 Vogue interview, Blake explained how she went four years without doing a cover
05:14Because, as she put it,
05:16I don't feel super comfortable in front of a camera
05:19She said it stems from a more private side that she's rarely shown publicly
05:23And that once she became a mother, she valued her privacy even more
05:27It's a stark contrast to the energy she exudes while playing glammed-up characters in front of paparazzi
05:33But apparently, the second it's just Blake Lively on a magazine spread
05:38No character to hide behind, her confidence evaporates
05:42Fans found it refreshing hearing that the poised star is actually shy deep down
05:47Of course, cynics say, but she's done a million public events
05:51But Blake draws a line between acting in a role versus basically modeling as herself
05:57She's also spoken about how she can be outgoing but very private
06:01An odd pairing that's typical for Hollywood types who love the craft but hate the intrusion
06:06It's a reminder that some big names aren't as comfortable in their own skin as we assume
06:11She's an under-the-radar script doctor
06:14One of the lesser-known facts is that Blake secretly contributes writing to many of the films she's in
06:19She once told Vogue how she's always scribbling on scripts
06:22A blank page isn't nearly as exciting as starting with a script and seeing what people overlooked
06:28She said, apparently, she loves rewriting dialogue, fine-tuning character arcs, and punching up comedy beats
06:35More ironically, Ryan Reynolds once told SiriusXM that half the A++ lines he's credited for in Deadpool actually came from Blake
06:43He confessed that favoritism in the industry often erases her contribution because people assume the star actor wrote it
06:50He publicly tried to correct them, saying,
06:53That was Blake, not me
06:55And it's not just her husband's flicks
06:57Paul Feig, who directed her in A Simple Favor, confirmed that she reworked her lines to fit her edgy character
07:03She rarely gets official writing credit, though, which means a chunk of her labor is invisible
07:08Her fans love hearing about this behind-the-scenes hustle, pointing out that she's more than just a pretty face
07:14But haters question whether it's meddling that rubs co-workers the wrong way
07:18Considering the fiasco with Justin Baldoni, maybe that's exactly the kind of rewriting that caused friction
07:25Either way, it's interesting to see that Blake might be the uncredited writer behind some of your favorite comedic bits
07:31Celebrity moms
07:33Praise her parenting
07:35The complete opposite side of the drama spectrum is Blake's reputation as a rock star mom
07:40While fans often tear her apart for other controversies, we keep hearing from colleagues about how dedicated she is to her brood
07:47Colleen Hoover, the It Ends With Us author, revealed that while Blake took the role of Lily in the film adaptation,
07:53she was simultaneously super involved with her kids, never letting the shoot overshadow her mom duties
07:59She could be on a call with the Pope, and if her kid walks in, that's who gets her focus
08:04Colleen told Vogue
08:05Similarly, Paul Feig, from A Simple Favor, described Blake's rock-solid pro approach on set
08:11But that once shooting wrapped for the day, she'd pivot to full-on parenting mode
08:16Even Caitlin Olsen, who's in the Reynolds-Blake friend circle, hopped on social media to declare
08:22that Blake-Blake is a kind, lovely, honest, and generous person, and an incredible mom
08:28It seems that no matter how messy her rumored behind-the-scenes battles might get,
08:32the one aspect everyone respects is her devotion to her kids
08:36She totally won over Colleen Hoover
08:39Given the Justin Baldoni fiasco swirling around the It Ends With Us adaptation,
08:44you might expect the film's original author, Colleen Hoover, to keep a safe distance from Blake
08:49But no, Hoover's fangirling is real
08:52She told The Hollywood Reporter she was thrilled to have Blake cast
08:56She also described how Blake's portrayal of Lily exceeded her wildest expectations,
09:01going so far as to say the actress elevated the character in ways she, as the writer, hadn't even imagined
09:07In People, Hoover doubled down, praising Blake's nuance and expressing sadness over the set drama
09:13overshadowing the beautiful, amazing job Blake did
09:17When the allegations came out, Hoover posted an Instagram story basically telling Blake
09:22Don't ever stop being who you are, a statement that many saw as a subtle way of picking sides
09:28Considering Hoover's massive fanbase, having her publicly champion Blake is significant
09:34It's turned some skeptics into defenders, claiming that if the actual author calls Blake's portrayal groundbreaking,
09:40maybe she's not the self-absorbed monster some say
09:43Then again, it's also possible the author just cherishes Blake's star power
09:48Regardless, we can see Blake forged a real bond with the novel's creator
09:52and that Hoover's not shy about praising her actress buddy
09:56Hugh Jackman sees two sides
09:58Pajamas at home, Elizabeth Taylor on set
10:01If there's one star who can speak to the contrast between Blake's everyday persona and her glamorous red carpet vibe,
10:08it's Hugh Jackman
10:10He spent hours in casual PJs at the Reynolds-Blake household,
10:13apparently playing with the kids or chatting over homemade pizza,
10:17only to see Blake do a total 180 five minutes later
10:21One moment, she's a normal mom in sweats
10:23The next, she's gliding into a photo shoot like an old-school Hollywood goddess
10:28Jackman told Vogue it reminds him of Nicole Kidman,
10:31these shy Aussie types who can flip a switch and become superstars
10:35Jackman even labeled the transformation Elizabeth Taylor-level,
10:39which is an insane compliment
10:41The Aussie star has known them long enough to see that Blake's domestic reality is super chill,
10:46but the second she's in front of that camera, she's unstoppable
10:50Jackman also hinted that maybe part of Blake's secret sauce is that innate shyness
10:55She's always toggling between the personal and the public,
10:58one minute rocking pajamas, the next playing a glam heist criminal in a Baz Luhrmann short
11:03Indeed, if you believe Jackman, Blake's best trick might be harnessing that shy part of herself
11:09and channeling it into star power whenever she needs it
11:12What do you guys think of Blake Lively?
11:14Let me know in the comments and I hope you have a great day!
