Blake Lively, star of the summer movies The Shallows and recently released Woody Allen film Café Society, stopped by the Tonight Show to discuss her recent projects with host Jimmy Fallon. The 28-year-old actress also treated the audience to some hilarious footage of her nearly two-year old daughter, James, who seems to be a bit confused about who her father is.
When Lively visited the Tonight Show to promote The Shallows back in June, host Jimmy Fallon gifted her a life-size cutout of himself so that she “wouldn’t miss him.” Now, several weeks later, Lively has returned to the show to discuss Café Society and showed the audience a video of her daughter giving the Jimmy Fallon cutout a kiss. Lively then asked her daughter, “Where’s your dada?” and James then pointed at the cutout of Fallon.

While Lively’s daughter is clearly just a little confused, the actress joked that she may need to take a paternity test on air. Fallon then reminded Lively that she was on the Tonight Show, not Maury.
The cutout apparently caused all sorts of drama with Lively and her actor husband, Ryan Reynolds. The “Fallon-board” was also photographed, in a series of shots shared by Lively, palling around with Reynolds and sharing a bottle of scotch. Another picture even showed Reynolds’ shirt coming off and landing in the hands of the cutout.
Check out the humorous clip above from the interview with Blake Lively and Jimmy Fallon.
