Ryan Lochte Crush on Blake Lively: 'She Makes My Toes Curl'
Olympic gold medalist, Ryan Lochte, has admitted to having a crush on "Gossip Girls" star Blake Lively.
Both stars have attended events during New York City's fashion week, and Lochte is apparently looking forward to meeting Lively if he gets the chance.
"I have a huge crush on Blake Lively. She's drop-dead gorgeous," Lochte, 28, told People at New York's Ainsworth Park at the Windsor Custom Clothes Fashion's Night Out event. "I haven't met her yet. If I do, I'd definitely be starstruck. She makes my toes curl."

Despite the fact that Lochte competed in the 2008 Summer Olympics, for some he is just coming into the light mostly due to the fact that competitor Michael Phelps has long overshadowed him. Lochte and Phelps both share the same event and it was not until the 2012 Summer Olympics that Lochte was able to claim the gold. But this year Lochte went above and beyond and now holds the world record in the 200 and 400 Individual Medley race.
With gold medals in hand and a boost of confidence to guide him, it appears Lochte is now ready to take on Hollywood. Although he is still on a strict schedule that requires him to train six hours a day and eat a very healthy diet, Lochte admitted that he would break his diet for Lively.
"For her, I would totally cheat [on my diet]," he told People, which acknowledged that Lively was a huge fan of eating and baking homemade sweets. "I love homemade food, but I do have to keep to my regimen because I'm still training for the 2016 Olympics."
Lochte also described his type of girl as one who can paint the town red and still play it chill for an afternoon of football.
"I like girls who are confident enough to wear sexy dresses and have a wild night out and [then] be the complete opposite and be able to chill and wear shorts and a football jersey around the house," Lochte added.
