Blake Lively has spoken about the pressure put on her to lose weight.
Four months on from giving birth to her first child, Blake Lively admits she’s “trying to perfect nothing except functioning”. She’s also quick to dispel any Hollywood beauty myths, despite being back at work premiering her latest movie, The Age of Adaline.
“We don’t have red carpets in our house,” Blake tells Newsbeat. “Or glam squads and people making us look awesome and making it look easy every day.”
Because of her job, Blake’s post-baby body was always going to be under more scrutiny than many others.
“I’m still 15 pounds heavier so it’s nice that people think I lost my baby weight,” she tells us, days after being photographed at her film’s premiere.
“I still haven’t lost a pretty good chunk of it, but it’s also the pressure – who cares?
“There’s pressure to lose it, or women are like supposed to look like they did when they were 19 right after you give birth to your child, I think it’s silly.”
Blake says breastfeeding has helped, but she’s “not really obsessing” over losing any more weight right now.
