Blake Lively’s two-year-old daughter James Reynolds will likely have many siblings.
While appearing on “Today” Monday morning, Lively, who is currently expecting baby number two with husband Ryan Reynolds, gushed about her daughter. “She’s always doing something fun and exciting. She’s the most fun, funny human being I’ve ever been around in my life.” The 28-year-old actress added, “I’m one of five kids; my husband’s one of four,” joking, “We’re breeders. You can go on our website and we will give you some of our children.”

Baby news aside, Lively dished about her upcoming movie “The Shallows”, which hits theatres this Friday.
In the film, Lively plays a stranded surfer who must escape a looming great white shark. Speaking of a similar film role her husband played, she said, “He did a film called ‘Buried’ where he’s in a coffin the entire time. That was, I think, probably even harder to do because you have to carry the movie in a box. At least I got beautiful settings and a shark and all these things to help me! But an isolation film is tough. It’s you the whole time and your imagination. I don’t know. I hope people like it.”
She continued, “We shot in this beautiful island—Lord Howe Island. No one’s ever shot there before. It was pristine and amazing. And then the rest of it was basically in a giant swimming pool.” Unlike her character, Lively says she is not afraid of sharks. “I actually had an amazing experience,” she recalled. “I went diving with great white sharks and an incredible shark conservationist. Being in the water amongst them, it suddenly takes away that fear, because you see them in movies and they’re villainized and all of that, but when you’re in their habitat, you see that they’re not actually hunting you, you know? They’re just in the sea.”

“Because of global warming, sharks are pushed closer to shore. She’s attacked, and you think of a shark attack being in the deep ocean. But it’s almost scarier when the shore is right there and it’s just so close,” Lively said. “It comes in handy that she’s a medical student. I think that she’s not necessarily the most resourceful person to start, but it just shows the human’s ability to survive when you’re faced with life or death.”
