Blake Lively wanted to be in The Town that is directed by and stars Ben Affleck, so much she had to beg for her role according to
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.”
Looking at that picture she doesn’t even come close to passing for 29. Personally I think Ben made a mistake casting her because her voice irritates me when she on Gossip Girl, and unlike when I watch her on the little screen I can’t turn the volume down when she’s on the big screen.
