Blake Lively pretends to be Marilyn Monroe on the red carpet. The ‘Gossip Girl’ star gets self-conscious at showbiz events and tries to channel the confidence of the Hollywood diva to survive the ordeal.
She said: "I have insecurities like any girl. I used to be really shy and unconfident. I hated being tall. Walking the red carpet is scary, so I pretend to be Marilyn Monroe – someone who owned their beauty and projected this incredible aura of self-confidence."
Down-to-earth Blake, 24, prefers staying at home to attending parties and says she feels hot when she is cooking.
She said: "I really like to cook. Cooking makes me feel hot. I think there’s something so sensual about it – the smells, the touches, the flavours, the experience of creating something. And, you know, when you’re doing it with someone you love, creating that together. I think it’s really attractive.
"I do a little of everything but Italian food is my favourite. And chocolate! Whenever I travel I go to cooking schools. I eat too much that’s the problem."
