"Age of Adaline" star Blake Lively recently revealed why she did not necessarily have the best time on the hit series "Gossip Girl."
In a recent interview with the Los Angeles Times, Lively revealed that by the time the series ended, she felt like she was a machine.
"If the show cared about the content, they wouldn't hand us our script pages minutes before shooting. You're part of this machine - this pop culture phenomenon - but as an actor, the quality of your work is definitely compromised because of that," she said.
Lively also revealed that towards the end of the last season, she felt like she was already exhausted from everything that happened on the set.
"When I finished the last season, I didn't feel good at it anymore. I didn't feel stimulated. It had become muscle memory, but not good muscle memory - like bad-habit muscle memory," she explained.
Meanwhile, in a separate interview with Cosmopolitan US, Lively also revealed that she wasn't a big fan of Serena van der Woodsen, her alter-ego on "Gossip Girl."
"It's a weird thing when people feel like they know you really well and they don't. I would not be proud to be the person who gave someone the cocaine that made them overdose and then shot someone and slept with someone else's boyfriend," she said.
In other news, Lively, who recently gave birth to her first child said that she is better at motherhood than acting because she always feels like she's faking it when doing the latter.
"Having a baby is like living in the constant unexpected. You never know when you're gonna get crapped on or when you're gonna get a big smile or when that smile immediately turns into hysterics," she said.
