‘Gossip Girl’s’ Blake Lively talks nude scene in ‘Pippa Lee’
Blake Lively talks nude scene in upcoming movie
Alan Arkin, you luck sonofabitch. It’s not everyman that has a partially nude Blake Lively on him…or is it?
The Gossip Girl star has a revealing scene in the upcoming Rebecca Miller film The Private Lives of Pippa Lee. Lively insists that filming her nude scene with the 75-year-old Arkin “didn’t make it any weirder” than usual.
“Apparently naked, not fully naked. I was lying partially naked on Alan Arkin, but strategic body parts were covered,” says the 22-year-old. “It’s always scary when you’re in front of strangers half-naked, but the fact that it was with Alan, honestly, didn’t make it any weirder. I think being with a young dude would have been more awkward because I might have been like, ‘Well, does he think I look cute right now?’”
Speaking about her character, “young” Pippa, Lively says portraying her was “exciting.”
“Pippa does get very dark. Like, that was me on a dog leash being led around for a photo shoot by Julianne Moore, who plays a lesbian photographer,” she said. “It sounds bizarre, but it was exciting for me because I never really went through that dark and wild stage, so to get to explore that in the safety of a movie set was great.”
The Private Lives of Pippa Lee hits theaters on November 27th. It also stars Robin Wright Penn, Winona Ryder and Maria Bello.
