Blake Lively was working yesterday, and her day at the office looked something like this:
Husband Ryan Reynolds and fellow Taymerica 2016 party guest Gigi Hadid were into it—and perhaps know something we don't about what's going on:
Lively's caption didn't give much more insight about what this face cast is being made for—and it didn't even 100 percent confirm it's her under it—but commenters had some theories. Several speculated it was for a wax sculpture at Madame Tussauds! (Though, as Business Insider broke down, face casts like that aren't made of the celebrity when they're being fitted for a figure. Measurements are just taken and then sculpted into clay.)
Another joked, "She asked for extra guac." One really, really hoped it was for Deadpool 2. Another said it was for a body double—which may actually have some truth to it.
Lively was cast in A Simple Favor as a woman who mysteriously disappears. Her best friend, a mommy blogger played by Anna Kendrick, tries to piece together what happened. Variety further teases there's a dead body involved, which could be the one being made of Lively in this cast.
We'll have to wait to see, but for now, our money's on the guac theory.
