Good looking Gossip Girl co-stars Chace Crawford, 23, and Ed Westwick, 21, live together and have long been rumored to be lovers. They are said to have been seen kissing on set and to stick together and ignore the females that flock to them. Ed’s character, Chuck Bass, is supposed to be a playboy, and if he’s gay and open about it he probably knows that now is not a good time in his career to come out. He says he’s not gay though, and uses the example of enjoying talking to women late into the night.
About his relationship with co-star and roommate Chace Crawford: “People think Chace is gay, and thought I was gay, that we were humping. It’s not true, but hilarious. People project their fantasies onto people. I’ve never been someone who makes it my objective to go out and pick up chicks. But I’ve met some fantastic ladies here. You know those amazing conversations where you find yourself in a café talking until 2 a.m. and never see them again.”
He says he refuses to let all the fan adulation go to his head. “There are perks to this job. We [the Gossip Girl cast] were all thrown into this situation with a lot of attention on us, and you get a lot of free clothes and s–t but that’s no reason not to stay grounded. What am I really doing, baby? Saving the world? Nah, I’m on television.”
Ed’s portrayal as Chuck Bass is just as notable as his own bad behavior and sense of style. “Chuck is an iconic character and the clothes are iconic. I think I rock the look well. My style has always been good. Top notch, baby. I like the glamorous indie rock look, like the Libertines. But you know, without the heroin needle sticking out of my arm.”

Maybe Westwick is just a guy who hangs out with his buddies and doesn’t pay attention to women who fawn all over him, preferring the hard to get type. You kind of get the vibe that he’s old fashioned from the way he talks. Either way, it’s his business and you can understand why he wouldn’t want to be open about if he’s gay. There are scores of teen girls who would be crying into their diet cokes.
