Having to do a bed scene in 'The Private Lives of Pippa Lee', the Serena van der Woodsen of 'Gossip Girl' shares it is harder for her to watch the scene than to act for it.

Portraying a teenage Pippa Lee in "The Private Lives of Pippa Lee", Blake Lively is required to shoot for a bed scene, and she has recently shared her thought on the particular piece. Asked by Collider whether filming the bed scene is hard, she responded by explaining that watching her in the scene is harder for her.

"Well, I think it's uncomfortable, laying in strategically placed clothes that are taped on your body, in front of some strangers," the 22-year-old first shared on filming the scene itself. "That's always uncomfortable. But, I was with Alan [Arkin] and [director] Rebecca [Miller], and our wonderful D.P., and it was a very private set."

"We're all actors, we're all professionals and we all understood what was happening," she continued on. "Everybody is uncomfortable with those scenes. You're never going to be comfortable being half-naked in front of anyone. But, it was fine. It was a short scene." She went on noting the hardest part for her, "For me, it's more uncomfortable to watch it. It's like, 'Oh, no, all these people are seeing me like this!' "

Beside talking about "Pippa Lee", the star of "Gossip Girl" also talked about balancing the shooting for The CW's popular series and her upcoming feature film "The Town". Of it, she said, "It's been a challenge just because of the hours. I'm working on The Town on my weekends and holidays, flying to Boston overnight and then shooting the next morning."

"But also, when you are on a TV show, a character can get stale, so getting to also portray another character simultaneously, and come back to this character, it makes the character of Gossip Girl fresher," she added. "It also is very exciting to get away from it and to play another role. And, just anytime that I get to do a film, I'm so thrilled because I love watching movies, I love making movies and the movies that I've made, I've been very proud to be a part of."
