Blake Lively has revealed that she gets so self-conscious and insecure at times that she pretends to be blonde bombshell Marilyn Monroe just to cope. “I have insecurities like any girl,” the Daily Express quoted her as saying. “Walking the red carpet is scary so I pretend to be Marilyn Monroe – someone who owned their sexuality and projected this incredible aura of self-confidence. Besides channelling the legendary icon, the 24-year-old also admitted that cooking also helps boost her self-confidence. “Cooking makes me feel sexy,” she said. “I think there’s something so sensual about it: the smells, the touches, the flavours, the experience of creating something. And, you know, when you are doing it with someone you love, creating that together, I think it’s really attractive. Italian food is my favourite,” she added.
