About Ed Westwick
In Gossip Girl, you have seen him looking sharp in his three-piece suits all around the Upper East Side. He is an immigrant from England who is obsessed with the Upper East Side of New York City. But when Ed isn’t dressed to the nines in a three-piece suit, we can all be heard saying, “Well, hello Mr. Bass.”
Drama
Edward Westwick, who was raised in Hertfordshire, England, by a professor father and a psychologist mother, decided at a young age that he did not want to pursue a career in academia. Ed started acting lessons at a nearby theatre school when he was just six years old, where he built his acting skills. Following his involvement with the London National Youth Theatre, Ed was cast in supporting roles in movies including Breaking and Entering (2006) and Children of Men (2006).
A Brit Living in New York
But a year later, Ed got his big break on the smash series Gossip Girl as the womanizing Upper East Sider, Chuck Bass.
Ed and his incredibly handsome ensemble were thrust into the spotlight right away. As the world became enthralled by these privileged teens who had New York City dangling from a string, the cast soon appeared on the covers of every magazine, from Out to Details.
But Ed wasn’t just appearing on magazine covers; the British import was also giving the tabloids a field day. Ed gained notoriety in 2008 when he was photographed having a sexual encounter with Drew Barrymore. But later that year, when he started dating Jessica Szohr, a castmate from Gossip Girl, things really got serious for the actor. While the incestuous cast coupled up with everyone onstage, the two remained a relationship off-screen.
Before parting ways, the couple spent two years as a regular in the New York City paparazzi.
But since the 2011 release of the romantic comedy Chalet Girl, we don’t have to worry about Ed locating a new Gossip Girl or Chalet Girl to accompany him to the premiere.
“During my senior year in high school, two students at my school flew down to Venezuela for spring break and came back with almost a pound of cocaine to distribute.”
