Blake Lively may have the body of a goddess but that’s not to say that she deems it perfect. Far from it, actually: in a new interview with Allure magazine, the actress says she’s actually OK with having a bit of cellulite.

A self-confessed foodie, Blake insists that her great figure is all down to youth and a very good metabolism, which practically allows her to eat whatever she wants, whenever she wants it.

She sticks to this story in the Allure interview, pressing the matter even further, to say that she would never give up a tasty treat for the guarantee of a “perfect” body.

“I obviously have plenty of imperfections on my body, but I’d rather have a little bit of cellulite and go do a food trip and try every ice cream place in the South,” the stunning star explains for the publication.

She also opens up a bit more about her personal life, saying she’s never been happier.

The interview was conducted a short while ago so we’re safe presuming she hadn’t yet tied the knot with beau Ryan Reynolds.

In this context, this statement can be interpreted as a sign that she’s finally found love and happiness.

“Right now, I’m so peaceful… I’ve never been happier in my life. It’s the choice that you have to wake up every day and say, ‘There’s no reason today can’t be the best day of my life’,” Blake says.

To further confirm this impression, Blake also talks about starting a family and having kids. Brace yourself for how many she’d like to have.

“I’ve always wanted a big family. Oh, I’d love 30 [children] if I could,” she says.

Seeing how she loves to cook and spends a lot of time in the kitchen, as per her own admission, if this were to happen, she’d probably never leave it again.
