The ‘Gossip Girl’ Boys Do ‘Details’ Magazine
The trio of hotness on the hit CW series Gossip Girl, made up of Penn Badgley, Chace Crawford and Ed Westwick, are featured on the cover and in the pages of the new issue of Details magazine. In the boys’ coverstory (which they shared, apparently) the guys talk about all the fun and foibles that come from starring on the popular “It” show of the moment. Here is the GG boys’ cover photo and a portion of their interview:
A year ago, no one knew their names. Now, after getting chased around New York by schoolgirls and going to every posh party in the city, the three guys of Gossip Girl are realizing just how famous they’ve become. In an interview with Details magazine, Chace Crawford, Penn Badgley and Ed Westwick shared their craziest experiences since starring on the CW show. “We have a lot of older fans,” Badgley said. “I get a lot of guys coming up to me who are like, ‘Oh man, my wife loves the show.’ Couple of drinks later they come up and they’re like, ‘You know what, I love Dan.’ And they probably watch the show more than their wives.” With the fans, of course, come the paparazzi and the rumors. Badgley has learned to tune out the comments on his relationship with costar and girlfriend Blake Lively. “One of the things that’s been my bread and butter with all these television shows I’ve done is that I don’t give a sh—,” he said. Crawford, 23, may have the worst luck with Internet rumors. “Model turned actor, dime a dozen, eye candy, doesn’t know what he’s doing …” … His character, Nate Archibald, just stopped being a hooker for his ex-girlfriend’s boyfriend’s stepmother, and he still says Nate is too sweet. “I’m hoping for a fall from grace for Nate. Five years from now, I better have murdered someone!” The other two also have thoughts on the direction their characters should go. Badgley thinks Dan is too judgmental and wants to explore his dark side, but Westwick thinks the opposite for bad boy Chuck. “Chuck’s just this vain kind of metrosexual Manhattan eccentric living in a flash world,” Westwick says. “He’s just mischievous. In the second season, you will see him do more of the good-guy thing.” Whether their alter egos are good or bad, the Gossip guys are hot and enjoying their moment in the spotlight. “One day it’s all going to go away,” Crawford said. “If this is what it is, then it’s wonderful.”
It’s nice that the guys have no problem sharing the spotlight … but they’re young and the show is still pretty new … the camaraderie may yet still fall apart to make way for in-fighting. You gotta wonder if Penn Badgely would’ve been able to score the cover of Details magazine all by himself. I could see Ed Westwick on the cover on his own and I can deffo see Chace Crawford scoring magazine covers left and right … but I’m not so sure about Penn. At least they’re all getting along and playing nice now so it’s not an issue … yet. I’m glad to hear that the guys seem to have their heads on straight and are being realistic about their new found fame. I think it’s wise to just enjoy it while they can and ride the wave for as long as they can. If they do a well enough job now, they may be asked back to reprise their roles 15 years in the future when the inevitable Gossip Girl spin-off show rears its ugly head.

Didn’t the interviewer call Chace a “gayface” or something? I thought I remember reading a summary of the interview and there was something to do with Chace saying how he was called a “gayface”. I remember because I thought that was hilarious. But now I can’t find that in the interview =(

ed westwick needs to do something about that comb over! ugh his hair was so much cuter last season

Noelle, yes, it was Chace quoting a “certain other blogger” who says he has gayface. I honestly see that all the gays I know love him. The rumors of him and JC and now Ed haven’t helped. Seriously, he’s my hero. LOL. Dude had Carrie Underwood…talk about lucky!

I don’t know why everyone is so up on Chace and Ed – Penn is the truley HOT one!

I definitely think Penn could have had it on his own, it’s Ed I’m doubtful about.

Also I was flipping thru an old YM magazine (like 3 years old) I found in my closet, one page had an interview with Penn (got his name cause his dad was bouncing a Penn tennis ball in the delivery room) for some movie or something he was in…and then the next page had an interview with Blake for her Sisterhood movies. Foreshadowing??

Crawford is in my opinion, by very, very, very far, the hottest guy in this trio. Should keep taking his acting lessons though (along with Badgley).
Note that I’d not kick any of the three out of my bed. But lookwise Crawford definitely belongs to a higher league.
