Do Blake Lively and Leighton like each other?

While not enemies, Blake Lively and Leighton never developed a close friendship on the set of Gossip Girl as they are very different.

“Blake is very much in the moment,” television producer and screenwriter Joshua Safran told Vanity Fair in 2017.

“Blake knows what’s happening. She knows this movie’s coming out, this band is happening. Leighton [on the other hand] was very removed and very quiet, and, after her scenes were done, she would wander the stage. I had this image of her just in these gorgeous dresses with a book in her hand, sort of a little bit out of focus out in the corners.”

“Blake and Leighton were not friends,” Safran continued. “They were friendly, but they were not friends like Serena and Blair. Yet the second they’d be on set together, it’s as if they were.”

In 2013, it was reported that Blake and Leighton weren’t speaking after Blake failed to congratulate Leighton on her engagement to Adam Brody.

“After something of a thaw in their relationship during the final two seasons of Gossip Girl, Leighton and Blake don’t speak anymore,” a source shared with Radar Online.
