| Chace Crawford |
‘Gossip’ Guy
After landing a few small roles, Chace auditioned
for the upcoming CW show ‘Gossip Girl’. Chace won
the plum role of rich Upper East Sider Nate
Archibald. “I've always wanted to, sort of, somehow
hit the teen genre and it's definitely a great time
in my life and a great springboard for my career.”
How does Chace deal with the fame that ‘Gossip Girl’
has brought him? “You’re having a serious
conversation, looking someone in the eye, but
everywhere around you, it’s literally a circus.
Sometimes I sit back and laugh. . . It’s funny
because everyone wants to know what’s happening on
set.” says Chace. “There isn’t anything shocking to
write about, so magazines want to stir things up,
like, 'Blake and Leighton hate each other.' But the
truth is, when we’re all done with work, it’s like,
'Hey, what are you doing? Let’s go do karaoke.' The
publicity factor is outrageous. They just want to
shoot you down. So that can definitely wear on you a
bit. A perception of you is created, and you really
have no control over it. To some degree, you learn
to adapt.”
