Blake Lively: 'I'm nothing like Serena'

Blake Lively has claimed that she is nothing like her troubled Gossip Girl character Serena van der Woodsen.

In an interview with Cosmopolitan, Lively said her high school years were not as scandal-packed as those of her TV alter ego.

She said: "There wasn't a period in my life, like Serena went through, where I was doing drugs and having sex with my best friend's boyfriend. I never went through that kind of crazy. I've kissed just three people in my life, other than stuff that I've done for TV or movies."

The actress added: "I don't drink. I don't do drugs."

Lively recently insisted that tabloid reports comparing her to Paris Hilton were inaccurate.
