Blake Lively; America's sweetheart, one half of Hollywood's golden couple, and accomplished actress to boot, has had quite the number of successes of late. She's starred in several blockbusters such as The Shallows and The Age of Adaline, and has had understated roles in Woody Allen's Café Society and Savages. Moreover, her relationship with
Ryan Reynolds never fails to capture the attention of the press, in all of its "Couple Goals" glory. When they're not poking fun at each other on their respective Instagram and Twitter accounts, Reynolds and Lively are photographed leading wholly normal lives with their two young daughters, James and Ines.
However, the 30-year-old recently had
a mishap on the set of her newest film, The Rhythm Section, which forced production to be temporarily shut down. The former Gossip Girl actress sustained a hand-injury during filming, and it's reportedly serious enough to warrant surgery.
Blake Lively was hurt while filming a challenging stunt sequence for The Rhythm Section back in December in Dublin, Ireland, and has been spotted wearing a cast on her right hand. The injury was severe enough to temporarily suspend the $50 million feature, in order to give Blake, the lead actress, time to recover.
While the 30-year-old is expected to fully recover from the injury, a source said that it's taking longer than anticipated and that the initial surgery Blake had on her hand didn't go to plan. A second surgery has now been deemed necessary, but it will extend the healing and rehabilitation period required.
An insider spoke to The Hollywood Reporter and informed the publication that although half the movie is wrapped, producers can't say when filming will resume.
In an interview with THR, the director of The Rhythm Section and The Handmaid's Tale', Reed Morano, said, "The problem is that normally, that kind of an injury, you would have 4 to 6 weeks of rehab and then you would wear a splint. We have to go into stunts, so it's very complicated".
