Lively even admitted that she’s felt “relieved” about retouching. “It’s so important for young people not to compare themselves with what they see online,” she said to Hadid. “It’s our job as actors and/or models to be in shape. We have access to gyms and trainers and healthy food. And then on top of that, 99.9 percent of the time the images are Photoshopped. I’m guilty myself of being at a photo shoot and saying, ‘That looks terrible on me.’ And they’re like, ‘We’ll fix it.'” Hadid, for her part, has been the subject of [much speculation](http://time.com/4430384/gigi-hadid-body-shaming-instagram/ "undefined") about her body’s evolution over her years in front of the camera. she started modeling when she was just a teen, and is now only 22\. “If I could choose, I would have my ass back and I would have the tits I had a few years ago,” she told Lively. “But, honestly, we can’t look back with regret. I loved my body then, and I love my body now.” Both Hadid and Lively have [made a practice](http://time.com/4052118/gigi-hadid-body-shame-instagram/ "undefined") of speaking out against body shaming and of being open about their hard work to stay fit. Hadid has the thyroid condition [Hashimoto’s disease](http://time.com/4596495/gigi-hadid-thyroid-disease/ "undefined"), and Lively — mother of two daughters — is no stranger [to a gym selfie](https://www.instagram.com/p/BfGrZfxg5sW/?taken-by=blakelively "undefined"). ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/5236384/blake-lively-photoshop-gigi-hadid-interview/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/5236384/blake-lively-photoshop-gigi-hadid-interview/"},"headline":"Blake Lively Says '99.9%' of Celebrity Images Are Photoshopped While Interviewing Gigi Hadid","datePublished":"2018-04-11T16:22:25.000Z","dateModified":"2026-04-13T07:52:01.673Z","description":"\"It’s so important for young people not to compare themselves with what they see online\"","url":"https://time.com/5236384/blake-lively-photoshop-gigi-hadid-interview/","keywords":["Newsfeed","celebrities","Blake Lively","onetime"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt9d630baf40e6fafb/69892d64db298769a625f590/blake-lively.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Raisa Bruner","jobTitle":null,"url":"https://time.com/author/raisa-bruner/"}],"articleSection":"","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt9d630baf40e6fafb/69892d64db298769a625f590/blake-lively.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"American Ballet Theatre Spring 2017 Gala Blake Lively","caption":"American Ballet Theatre Spring 2017 Gala Blake Lively","creditText":"Daniel Zuchnik—WireImage","representativeOfPage":true}],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/tag/time-section-newsfeed/","name":"Newsfeed"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/5236384/blake-lively-photoshop-gigi-hadid-interview/","name":"Blake Lively Says '99.9%' of Celebrity Images Are Photoshopped While Interviewing Gigi Hadid"}}]},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"VideoObject","name":"The Real Cost of Being In Taylor Swift's Squad MONEY","description":"It costs a lot to hang with this famous girl squad.","thumbnailUrl":"https://cdn.jwplayer.com/v2/media/G0EKYreZ/poster.jpg?width=720","uploadDate":"2017-04-27T19:35:33.000Z","contentUrl":"https://cdn.jwplayer.com/manifests/G0EKYreZ.m3u8","embedUrl":"https://time.com/5236384/blake-lively-photoshop-gigi-hadid-interview/","duration":"PT1M50S","potentialAction":{"@type":"SeekToAction","target":"https://time.com/5236384/blake-lively-photoshop-gigi-hadid-interview/?jw_start={seek_to_second_number}","startOffset-input":"required name=seek_to_second_number"}}] ```
