10 Things You Didn't Know About Blake Lively

9. She Went To School YEARS Early To Help Her Brother

Lively is just over 5'10", and was also a tall child, meaning that when it came to school, she looked older than she actually was - ideal for the plan to help her brother settle into school. She told Marie Claire: €œWhen I was only 3 years old, my mom enrolled me in the first grade. My older brother was supposed to start school, but he didn€™t want to go alone, so my mom told them I was 6 since I was so tall. But after a few weeks, they said they would have to put me in mentally disabled classes because I wasn€™t up to pace with the rest of the kids. €œThey thought that I was slow because all I wanted to do was sleep while the other kids were doing their projects. So my mom took me out of school.€
