So you all know I live in love with Sexwick, much to Inca's distaste. :P So I get all giddy with new interviews especially when he's being adorkable.
There’s no escaping Ed Westwick’s tractor beam of hotness. The 21-year-old, known best as Gossip Girl’s deliciously evil Chuck Bass, appears to have it all — a career on the rise, a British accent, humility. From a modest upbringing in a town of 80,000 in Hertfordshire, Westwick moved to New York two years ago and just attended his second White House Correspondents’ Association dinner (his dates were Mom and Dad). He sat down to talk about GG and those outlandish outfits his character wears. His show’s second-season finale airs tonight.How can you not love him, Inca???? Fuck you and the horse you rode in on! :D
Q: How was the WHCA dinner?
A: It’s quite the evening. Last year, I was kind of like, “Wow, I’ve been invited to the White House Correspondents’ dinner.” So I went along with my father, and we had a really nice evening. This year, I feel it was so much bigger and better because of Obama and everything that means to everyone.
Q: Was there anyone there you were particularly excited to meet?
A: My mother got a picture with Tom Cruise. She really enjoyed that. It put a smile on her face.
Q: Of all Chuck’s outfits, do you have any favorites?
A: The basketball outfit from the first season, where I end up wearing this headband and sunglasses and look like an ’80s gangster-rapper. It was just so outrageous. … I think someone at the network was like, “Are you serious?”
Q: Do you ever help pick out the clothes?
A: We chip in. If we put something on and it just doesn’t look right, we chop and change it. I always find that I’m wearing layers, and I look at myself — and I look like I’m puffed out. So I’m going to try and say to them, “Can I not wear so many layers this year?” So I don’t end up looking like a penguin. (AWWWWW, MCEDDIE!!)
Q: You’ve said that you pride yourself on being one of the last romantics. So what does that mean, exactly?
A: I’ve got it tattooed on my arm! “I heart romance.” (Rolls up sleeve.) I’m exaggerating, probably. I think there’s something poetic about being an old romantic. I’m probably useless at it. But I’d like to think I’ve got a sweet side. It’s nice to have a sweet side, with the character I play on TV being such a bad guy.

His dates were his mum and Dad?? OH GOD I LOVE HIM. thats it, he has reached a level of perfection I will never find. I tell you if he dumped LD he would be Jesus.
ReplyDeleteyou two are too much, lol
ReplyDeleteAwwww he could be my penguin any time!
ReplyDeleteAGREE Sarah!!!! ROTFL
ReplyDeleteHe's ridiculously PERFECT!!!!!!!! Every damn answer is like awwww.. The romantic tattoo??? My Ed-Crush is getting bigger by the second...
swoon.
ReplyDeleteI love that he loves the epic basketball outfit! It needs to make a comeback someday.
ReplyDelete~CT
Cynical Cowgirl... I'm really coming around to your way of thinking here.
ReplyDeleteHe's getting more and more PRECIOUS.
I dunno. He's fit, I agree. But I can't 'love' someone I don't personally know. Even if it is that far-away, love for a celebrity kind of love. That didn't make sense, lol. I can't think they're perfect either, I don't think anyone's perfect.
ReplyDeleteI don't find the whole romantic thing 'cute' in any guy. Makes me gag tbh. LMAO. So you can imagine my reaction when I heard he was giving JS back massages on the plane and being read something, I don't know what though. Meh.
I'm happy he's getting lots of coverage though. Awesome talent for acting he has there. *nods*
Sorry for the rant.
Inca, I (and many others, I'm sure) love you and your wanking proficiency and your wit and insight and your hardcore unabashed perving on the Queen ;) like the others love McEddie. Not that that's much of a consolation, but for what it's worth.
ReplyDeleteAs for Westwick...I just find him more and more irritating. Don't know what it is. Maybe I blame him for his part in the Vuck (great "acting" there), maybe it's a new form of the LD contamination.
Anonymous at 6:36 pm - I'm not sure what you mean by the 'acting' comment. It's not like Ed asked the producers to put him onscreen with his girlfriend - that was ALL the writers being retards. That's like finding Leighton irritating because she made out with Sebastian onscreen.
ReplyDeleteLess layers on chuck....oh yess...less is more !!!
ReplyDelete6:53, I was referring to the fact that I thought he played Chuck WAY out of character, as did LD, in those scenes whereas I thought Leighton kept in character as Blair. It could have just been me, as I've said I don't quite know why I've gone off him.
ReplyDeletei've got to admit i was definitely off ed for awhile there after that his CV scene [ia, he did seem out of character and i was very angry at him about that] and then soon after he was seen parading around PDAing with LD and that made me positively gag. but now that he's refused to mention LD as his "girlfriend" and maintains that he's "single" and gives out cute interviews WHERE HE MENTIONS LEIGHTON'S NAME i've started to be okish with him again. not really like, but ok.
ReplyDeleteEd Westwick is just damn amazing.. Luv him soooo muchhh...
ReplyDeleteI love Ed because, among other things, he's really fearless when it comes to the outrageous outfits he's given by the production! And he's so humorous about it, too!
ReplyDeleteEd can really pull everything off - he's just amazing!
Was it totally wrong that i was reading it trying to immitate Ed's British accent? To no avail I'm shuoa.. Ed is my favorite person on the planet (after my parents).
