She’s one of the hottest young actresses in Hollywood, and Blake Lively gets her super sexy form - including those gorgeous gams - through lots of hard work.
The “Gossip Girl” babe’s trainer Bobby Strom told press it’s no wonder his client looks so good because she’s extremely dedicated.
“She always looks good,” he explained. And for her “Green Lantern” gig they’ve stepped things up a bit. “She has to do stunts, so we’re focusing on core and strength training.”
Strom also noted Blake’s penchant for Greek food. "You would not believe what she could consume. The Greek fest that she made... crepes with cream cheese in them... we could only eat half of it. She ate all of hers and then went back and ate somebody else's half."
