"Gossip Girl" alum Blake Lively recently appeared on the "Late Night With Seth Meyers" where she talked about the awkward encounter she had with the president of the United States.

Lively met president Barack Obama at a dinner and when the latter greeted her, she froze and was unable to respond to him properly.

"The only thing I could think of to say to him was that he'd left my husband a voice mail when he was running for president. So I said, 'You left my husband a voice mail!' and he was like, 'Cool!' and I said, 'And he deleted it!' It was just like, why did I say that?" she recounted.

The "Age of Adeline" actress revealed that the conversation she had with Obama didn't necessarily end there, Vanity Fair reported.

"It got worse! I was like, 'He deleted it 'cause you were just a senator then!' And I was like, 'That was bad.' So I was like, 'Well, he didn't know you would be president. I mean, who thought that... you would... be pres...ummm...Can you leave my husband a voicemail?' It was just getting worse," Lively added.

However, it seems that Obama didn't take any offense over Lively's statements. Later that night, he left Ryan Reynolds a funny voice mail.

"He ended up leaving my husband an incredibly funny and ball-busting voicemail. I didn't get to take the picture with him shaking his hand and talking about the change we're gonna make in the world, 'cause I was just like, dying," she added.
