Gossip Girl star Blake Lively had to beg Ben Affleck to cast her opposite him in The Town. Affleck is directing the movie and didn’t think the fresh-behind-the-ears Lively was a good fit for the role. Blake now tells several news outlets how hard she had to fight in order for Ben to even give her a chance. So refreshing to hear — we don’t think too highly of Lively‘s acting prowess.

Lively told WENN:
“My part was supposed to be a 37 year old. I was like, ‘I have to play this.’ And they’re like, ‘No, you’re not 37.’
“I took a train to Boston and auditioned for Ben and fought for the role, and he gave me the job on the spot. They rewrote it so I’m 29.”
