Blake Lively raves about her best friend on special day

Blake Lively and Samantha Stone have been close friends for years. So, the It Ends With Us actress paid a lovely tribute on her birthday.

The Green Lantern star shared a throwback photo on Instagram, gushing over the special moments they spent marking her special day.

"Find you a girl who spends New Years with you while you're snotty and have a cold but she won't let you miss the fun so she brings it to you," the 37-year-old said, referring to her friend, who is the Chief Membership Officer at Soho House. "Always. Because that's who she is. Fun. Kindness. Goodness."

"@samanthastone, I'm glad you were born. Some amount of years ago today. Happy Birthday," she noted. 

The Deadpool & Wolverine actor previously wished her director Baz Luhrmann, saying, "@bazluhrmann was the first & only signed poster I was ever lucky enough to have on my wall when I was a teenager," Lively's caption read. "It's still on my wall today. To know him will always be surreal."

She continued while sharing a carousel of photos, "He's even more mischievous and magical in real life." 

"He'll grab your hand and run away from the gala with you to do an impromptu photoshoot because he's inspired by everything, your cape and a palm tree is all he needs to see thrill," Blake concluded.
