In 2011, Aziz Ansari ran into Blake Lively at an event and started chatting her up. “She was really into food, and I’m really into food, and so we started talking about that and about stuff … and we exchanged phone numbers,” the Parks and Recreation” actor told Howard Stern’s SiriusXM radio show in 2014. Knowing Lively was a fan, Ansari started communicating with the “Gossip Girl” star via text, ending the message with, “Are you going to the Met Ball?” After not hearing back, the “Master of None” star spotted Lively at the event a few days later.
“I see her there, I’m like, ‘Hey, it’s me,'” the comedian recalled. “And she’s bopping around to all these parties and she’s with Karl Lagerfeld.” Later that night, Ansari was determined to find out where she went. “I text her again and say, ‘Hey, it’s Aziz. Please tell Karl he needs to call me, it’s been too long since we bro’d out.'” The “Funny People” actor made one last attempt to track Lively down, letting her know he was headed to the Boom Boom Room afterparty.
That’s when she finally responded. “Hey, maybe I’ll see you,” she wrote. “So weird, Karl was just saying how bummed he was to miss you.” Lively, who was expecting her first child, didn’t reply after that. Ansari, however, mined the whole cringeworthy exchange for a laugh. “So crazy that my text to Blake Lively on @sternshow got her pregnant. Congrats boo,” he tweeted.
