‘Pretentious’ Blake Lively ridiculed for saying she laughs ‘the hardest’ at ‘Shawshank Redemption’

It doesn’t end with “It Ends With Us.”

As Blake Lively deals with backlash over her “tone deaf” approach to promoting her new movie, she’s being mocked online for something she said in her Vogue 73 questions interview from 10 years ago that has resurfaced.

In the video from July 2014, Lively, 37, was asked a series of fast-paced questions by an interviewer, and one of her answers has social media in shock.

The journalist asked Lively which “movie you laughed the hardest through.”

“Shawshank Redemption,” she nonchalantly responded.

The interviewer briefly laughed out loud before he moved on to the next question.

It was an unexpected moment when Lively name-dropped the 1994 prison film as the movie that is funniest to her.

The film follows a banker (Tim Robbins) who is sentenced to life in prison for murdering his wife and her lover, despite claiming that he’s innocent. He befriends a fellow prisoner (Morgan Freeman) and gets involved in a money laundering scheme behind bars.

In the midst of the “It Ends With Us” drama, Lively’s odd answer in the Vogue interview went viral on TikTok, prompting fans to call the actress out — again.

“I don’t think blake and I saw the same shawshank redemption,” one fan said in the comments.

“The Shawshank Redemption? I cried watching it,” another person said.

“She’s the kind of person where she’s always kidding so there’s no real answer given and so you’re just sitting there like… sooo wait what is it actually,” someone else wrote.

Another TikToker said Lively was being sarcastic in her answer, but she “badly delivered” her response.

“I think she was trying to answer like Ryan Reynolds but missed completely,” a different comment said.

“It just gets worse and worse AND worse,” another person said, referring to the pile-up of Lively’s past behavior that has been resurfacing.

Fans also created a Reddit thread to discuss Lively’s “Shawshank Redemption” answer.

“She’s so blindingly pretentious,” one of the comments read.

Other people called Lively “cringe” and “an idiot.”

They also called her out for saying in the Vogue interview that she “relates” more to the men on “Sex and the City” than the women.

She's ridiculous. And deserves all this attention.

What a blowhard.

Someone help me come up with another word.

I've used CUNT too many times, in regards to Blake Lively.

I need something else.

But that's a cunt move on the part of actor who should expect to do press tours and self brand promotion. At least spin your dumb answer with a bit of wit. She is clearly a wit free zone cunt.

Performing requires precise and skilled timing. She has none. Zilch. It’s remarkable that she’s been hired for anything more than a tampon ad.

She’s little more than a middle-aged Barbie doll whose only, limited appeal - banal, blonde looks - are fading as she heads toward menopause.

Someone needs to tell Blake that if she's going to be trolling, she should do so anonymously here

But will defend her that Vogue's 73 questions were excessive. I probably would have slit a bitch's throat 23 questions into it

Why are people so keen to rip this chick to shreds? It’s beyond obvious she was joking.

Is it because she accused a costar of kissing her beyond what the role required?

For a mother of multiple children, she sure spends a lot of time partying with her vapid, blonde bimbo pals.

I’m sure the kids run to the nanny during the holidays .

I love that after she set out to destroy her costar and director Justin Balsoni, he hired a PR team to redeem himself and must be the force going nuclear on this bitch, bringing all these cunty interviews to light. Well done.

R20 Good. She’s devoid of talent and seems to have a rancid personality. An overaged, high-school bitch who is incapable of growing up.

If it wasn’t for her marriage, she’d be lucky to be playing a trailer-park grandmother on a streaming show.

Yes, this sort of joke is her husband's whole brand. Her critics are having fun now but they should tread lightly. Reynolds and Swift have the power to pummel the internet into submission and this could have the unintended effect of bolstering her image in the long run.

So dramatic. Stop watching Marvel movies. Your brain can’t handle those.

The Internet is the most mercurial of places and will turn on a dime if it decides to do so. And it loves nothing more than tearing down what it built. Including those two white-bread clowns.

She and Ryan live in my town which has plenty of more famous and way richer people. They were almost run out of town for calling the paparazzi on themselves. The last incident was at Martha Stewart’s Easter egg hunt which left them with egg all over their faces and destroyed their social currency here.

It's a simple straightforward question.

by Anonymousreply 30August 28, 2024 3:01 PM

R27, they called the paps to get a photo of Blake and her kid but it had to be set up at a very remote part of the property visible from the road. Martha was LIVID when she found out, sat them down and explained that this is simply not done here, the people who live here have earned the right to have their privacy and if they need pap shots, they don’t belong here. Never happened again.

The first incident was of them strolling in the park and then having dinner at a local restaurant. That was met with some eye rolls and the benefit of the doubt that maybe the restaurant arranged it. The next time was Ryan complaining they were “chased” in their car by paparazzi. That doesn’t happen here. People told them then to knock it off and live under the radar. The Easter party at Martha’s was the last straw. This was around the time Blake was trying to become the next Martha so she sat down and shut up after that.

R21 what does that mean?

by Anonymousreply 33August 28, 2024 3:14 PM

She strikes me as the stereotypical "cool girl" the main character in "Gone Girl" describes, inventing a personality she thinks a man wants a woman to have. In this case, she's copying Ryan's laid back and jokey persona. Unfortunately, Blake has no timing and just comes off as phony and try-hard.

by Anonymousreply 34August 28, 2024 3:18 PM

R26: HA! That’s so trashy. I’m surprised Blake didn’t show up with cameras rolling and try to start a fight with Martha.

Actually that’s probably where her career is going to end up: flipping tables as a Real Housewife.

Fun fact; she’s the much younger sister of 80s actor Jason Lively, who was in European Vacation and Night of the Creeps.

She's very much like the way Gillian Flynn explains "the cool girl" in GONE GIRL. She's trying to be funny like her husband tries by being sarcastic and flippant, and so she says appalling things to show off her "coolness."

I am glad this asshole is being shown up for what she is, and hope this causes both her and her husband to behave more like adults.

Everyone in that circle is just riding it out, waiting for this shitstorm to die on its own. She's going to lay low like Chrissy Teigen and come up again in several months. Maybe she'll pop up around Christmas, hoping the good will towards men season will mellow everybody's attitude.

by Anonymousreply 42August 28, 2024 4:28 PM

She miscalculated with this one. Even if she hated her costar and director, you suck it up and do the press tour. Hell, she had a built in opportunity to address “abuse” while promoting domestic violence but wouldn’t even do interviews, let alone talk about the film’s subject matter.

Does anyone even want to watch a movie about domestic violence? The title implies it ends in a murder suicide.

Mr Affleck @ r46, ask your new girlfriend/drug dealer about that. Her father and half siblings used to live here. In fact, he fraudulently claimed to be a current resident and that like got him kicked off the ballot in NY.

R38, actually she would have been great in Gone Girl (Pike telegraphed evil intent in every scene).

She is dumb but frankly this thing of going through what was said in a stupid intrrview 10 years ago in a mindless interview is horrible.

by Anonymousreply 53August 28, 2024 10:16 PM

Well, she's laughing all the way to the bank. She is credited as a producer on this $25M film which has grossed over $243M.

Maybe she thought creating some controversy to promote the film would bring it much needed attention in a sea of summer film releases. Now she lays low for awhile, a mea culpa down the line and then a slow re-introduction into polite society.
