Edward Jack P. Westwick Quotes
My English accent drives American girls crazy, but I haven’t got time for romance
Biography:
Our favourite sophisticated Gossip Girl stud Ed was born in London and studied acting at the National Youth Theatre. A musician as well as an actor, Ed used to front the Libertines-wannabe indie rockband The Filthy Youth. His acting career began on British telly, where he had roles in the distinctly unglamorous Doctors and Casualty.
Making the shift into movies, 2006 was a good year for Ed, with roles in the Jude Law romcom Breaking and Entering and the critically acclaimed Children of Men. But it was the following year that Ed came to our attention playing supremely sexy villain Chuck Bass in the saucy teen TV sensation Gossip Girl. Frankly, we’ve been obsessed with him ever since.
As well as starring in the smash hit series, Ed is making a name for himself as serious Hollywood leading man material. He’s set to star with Leonardo DiCaprio in Clint Eastwood’s forthcoming J. Edgar Hoover biopic and has landed the role of Tybalt in the 2012 Hollywood adaptation of Romeo and Juliet.
Ed has reportedly dated not one but two of his Gossip Girl co-stars, Leighton Meester and Jessica Szohr.
