Ever since marrying Ryan Reynolds and putting her Gossip Girl role of Serena van der Woodsen behind her, Blake Lively has been keeping a pretty low profile. And that's just the way she likes it.

"Having a personal life has been really nice," the 26-year-old actress says in the April issue of Elle magazine. "I'd been on Gossip Girl 10 months a year for six years, shooting 15-hour days, so I hadn't had time to just be since I graduated from high school."

She adds, "It's been nice to kind of settle into my own skin and work on things I really love."

Sure enough, after taking a yearlong break from acting, Lively is back to, well, acting.

The blond beauty is currently working on the upcoming film The Age of Adaline in Vancouver.

Directed by Lee Toland Krieger, who helmed Celeste and Jesse Forever, the movie follows "the miraculous life of the 29-year-old title character (portrayed by Lively), who stops aging after recovering from a near fatal accident. Over the 20th century she embarks on an epic but isolated worldwide journey, keeping her secret, until she meets a man who forever alters her life."

An eyewitness source exclusively told E! News that Lively has been pulling all-nighters this week while shooting.

The movie, slated to be released sometime in 2015, also stars Ellen Burstyn, Michiel Huisman and Harrison Ford.

Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy text of the printing and typesetting industry. Lorem Ipsum has been the industry's standard dummy text ever since the 1500s, when an unknown printer took a galley of type and scrambled it to make a type specimen book. It has survived not only five centuries, but also the leap into electronic typesetting, remaining essentially unchanged.

It was popularised in the 1960s with the release of Letraset sheets containing Lorem Ipsum passages, and more recently with desktop publishing software like Aldus PageMaker including versions of Lorem Ipsum.

It is a long established fact that a reader will be distracted by the readable content of a page when looking at its layout. The point of using Lorem Ipsum is that it has a more-or-less normal distribution of letters, as opposed to using 'Content here, content here', making it look like readable English.

Many desktop publishing packages and web page editors now use Lorem Ipsum as their default model text, and a search for 'lorem ipsum' will uncover many web sites still in their infancy. Various versions have evolved over the years, sometimes by accident, sometimes on purpose (injected humour and the like).
