Blake Lively: "Green Lantern" Conference Cutie

Stepping out for a promotional appearance, Blake Lively was spotted at a press conference for “The Green Lantern” in Beverly Hills on Tuesday (June 7).

The “Gossip Girl” actress was all smiles in her bright yellow dress as she fielded questions at the Beverly Hilton Hotel.

In her interview with InStyle magazine, Blake explained the ins and outs of her character Carol in the film.

“Carol is a really appealing character in this film, and it’s rare because you never see a female get to also be the hero. She’s not a damsel in distress. Hal [Ryan Reynolds] doesn’t swoop in and save her. Often she pushes him. He’s inherited a lot of responsibility, and he’s not sure he wants it. He’s not a superman – he’s just a man, and he has his weaknesses.”

Lively also chatted about her chemistry with Ryan. “Yeah, I mean, whenever you do those screen tests, you always just say, ‘Well, there’s only so much I can do, but I hope something clicks.’ And it did. We were very lucky to be able to have that. But I can’t give too much credit to that because I’ve never met anybody who doesn’t click with Ryan. Everyone likes him.”
