Gossip Girl star Chase Crawford is used to the gay rumors about him and his co-star Ed Westwick and in a new interview he talks about how he has to overcome his "gayface."
Chace is cheerfully reeling off the indictments against him. "Model turned actor, dime a dozen, eye candy, doesn't know what he's doing ... and Perez Hilton says I have 'gayface.' So on top of everything else, I have to overcome gayface."
Most of the cast members live in adjacent downtown neighborhoods, and Chace and Ed share an apartment in Chelsea. This has fueled Internet speculation that they are secret lovers, although that seems to be a figment of the collective gaymagination. If you were a closeted TV star, after all, you'd probably come up with a better cover than living with your boyfriend in Manhattan's Pinkberriest zip code.
"No, sorry, I've got nothing to educate you about," says Chace, laughing. "What does bromance even mean?" (Ed has denied rumors too, saying they're just friends.) Chace's mom helped him find the apartment, and he recruited Ed as a roommate. "I thought, Let's pool our money and get something good," Chace says. "I didn't even know if the show was going to last."
WELL! He is dropdead gorgeous. Who cares if he is gay, straight, bi, polka dotted. Let the boy live his life and get off his case! Obviously he is comfortable where he is in life, leave him alone.
