Blake Lively wants Brad Pitt to be her dad

Gossip Girl star Blake Lively has admitted she would like Brad Pitt to play her on-screen dad in the show. Blake, 21, plays the role of Serena van der Woodsen in the hit US TV series. In the final episode of season two of the show, Serena was seen heading to Fiji to find her father and it is claimed he will be making an appearance in the third series of the teen show. Asked who she would like to play her dad, Blake said: "Brad Pitt. Or maybe [he should be cast] as my new boyfriend." Actor Connor Paolo, who plays Serena's brother Eric, added: "We've been asking since day one who daddy dearest is, so it'll be good to find out. I'd say Christopher Walken could make a great dad. I think he'd be a great papa van der Woodsen. I think [his and Lily's] dynamic would be awesome. I'll push that one. Or maybe Jack Nicholson."
