Actress Blake Lively is perhaps most recognizable from her role as spoiled rich kid Serena Van Der Woodsen on the CW's steamy teen soap "Gossip Girl." However, in just a couple of months, Lively will be seen by a whole new audience via her leading-lady role as Carol Ferris alongside Ryan Reynolds in "The Green Lantern."
When MTV News caught up with Lively during a "Green Lantern" event at CinemaCon, we asked if she considers herself a fangirl or whether she would be lining up to see the highly anticipated comic book movie adaptation if she weren't in it.
"I'm actually a really big comic book movie geek," Lively revealed. "I didn't read comics ever. I'm not a boy; I don't know if you can tell," she joked. "I was saying I never wanted to be an actor, so I would watch these superhero movies and come out and want to crawl up walls or do these karate kicks or fly or whatever it is."
Lively went on to say that she never thought she would be in a comic book movie and that when she found out she landed the part, she was as giddy as a schoolgirl and hoped she'd get to do a lot of stunt work.
"For me, I was like a kid when I found out I got this [role]. I was like, 'What kind of stunts am I going to do?' I was thrilled to be a part of it," she said. "I've always loved these kinds of movies. I do think, I know everybody says this, but I do think it's different."
