Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds are criticized on social media after the mercenary Deadpool actor insisted in an interview that he and Lively are both “working class.
We both grew up in a working-class background, and I remember when they were very young, I used to say or think things like: “Oh my God, I would never have had a gift like that when I was a kid” or ‘I would never have had the luxury of takeout’ or whatever
However, fans were quick to criticize the “uneducated” statement, citing Lively's veteran Hollywood parents and her upbringing in the suburbs in the Tarzan neighborhood of Los Angeles.

Lively comes from a family of artists.
Her late father, Ernie Lively, was an actor and director, and Blake's mother, Elaine Lively, was an actress and talent manager.
The veteran actor died of heart complications in 2021.
Blake has previously spoken about growing up on film sets. She made her acting debut at the age of 10 in the 1998 film The Sandman, directed by her father.
One summer, her older brother's agent Blake secured several auditions for her, and she landed a role in the 2005 cult film The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants at just 16 years old.
After The Cut reposted Ryan's quote from the THR interview on Instagram, fans quickly criticized his working-class claim, writes DailyMail.

A quick search: she grew up in Tarzana and then went to Burbank High. Her whole family was in the entertainment business. As a teenager, she was cast in the role of “Sisterhood” for “Traveling Pants”. That gives you at least a middle-class background. Anyway, it doesn't matter because she's rich and obnoxious now. Goodbye
