Blake Lively and Leighton Meester: Not Real-Life Friends
On-Screen Frenemies, Off-Screen Acquaintances
Despite their close bond as Serena and Blair in the hit TV show "Gossip Girl," sources close to the set have revealed that Blake Lively and Leighton Meester were never close friends in real life. Josh Safran, a writer on the show, stated, "They were friendly, but they were not friends like Serena and Blair."
Friendly but Distant
While the actresses maintained a cordial relationship, they did not share the same level of intimacy as their characters. Safran explained, "They were never close friends, but they didn't dislike each other either." This dynamic allowed them to portray their on-screen friendship convincingly.
Different Personalities
Differences in their personalities and interests contributed to their lack of a close bond. Lively is known for her outgoing and social personality, while Meester is more reserved and prefers a smaller circle of friends. "They have different lifestyles and different interests," said Safran.
Not uncommon in Hollywood
It's not uncommon for actors who play close friends on-screen to not have the same relationship off-screen. The pressure of portraying close relationships can create an artificial bond that does not always translate to real life.
Updated Information
As of October 26, 2021, there have been no recent updates on the status of Lively and Meester's relationship. Sources indicate that they remain friendly but not close.
