Gossip Girl Blake Lively Opens Up About Falling For a Co-Star

Gossip Girl Blake Lively is dating co-star Penn Badgley.

How does an actress fall for her co-star?

“Maybe when they kiss off the set — because it’s definitely not romantic on the set, that’s for sure," Lively, 20, tells August's Seventeen. "When you’re saying these words that people are making you say to one another, nothing about it is real or genuine. So if two people connect outside their characters, then that’s how they get together.”

And it certainly wasn't tough connecting with Badgley, 21.

"Penn does these silly dance moves, and he's very witty and quick, so it's fun to have sharp banter with him," Lively says.

Co-stars Leighton Meester, Taylor Momsen and Ed Westwick and Chace Crawford (who recently denied gay rumors) make her day job a little easier as well.

“Everyone is really funny and has such strange things that they do," Lively says. "Like Leighton does amazing voice impressions, and she can impersonate anyone’s face.

"Chace does an amazing impression of Scott Stapp from Creed.

"Ed is always singing," Lively adds. "Taylor is just so adorable, I just want to bake her a cupcake."

Lively also revealed her secret passion: Guitar Hero!

“I play in tournaments in Brooklyn," she says. "I’ll cover myself in sailor tattoos and dress like a rock star. Everyone else dresses totally normally and must think I’m a complete freak!”
