Gossip Girl: Ed Westwick Rebuffs Weight Gain Rumors
Ed Westwick is a “little more secure and less destructive” than his Gossip Girl character Chuck Bass, especially when it comes to dealing with gossip. When asked by E! News to name the craziest rumor about himself, the 21 year-old actor reveals that it has something to do with putting on a little weight.
“That I’m fat!” Westwick exclaimed. “It was something like ‘the wardrobe department on Gossip Girl has to keep changing his clothes due to his expanding waistline.’ It’s ludicrous!”
Despite the buzz surrounding his body, Westwick wasn’t worried about showing off some skin when he hit the pool at the Mondrian hotel with Gossip Girl costar Jessica Szohr, who is also rumored to be his girlfriend. And according to an onlooker, “he dazzled the crowd with his amazing body.”
Since joining Gossip Girl, Westwick has earned quite a solid following while his exposure on TV has caught the attention of many filmmakers. While playing the teen drama’s resident bad boy, he has also been cast in movies such as Son of Rambow, 100 Feet, S. Darko, and the upcoming film Wuthering Heights as lead character Heathcliff.
During the weekend, Westwick picked up an award for Male Breakthrough Performance at Hollywood Life’s 11th Annual Young Hollywood Awards, held in Santa Monica, proving that he has grown to be adored by not only by his fans but by his fellow actors as well.
On Sunday, June 21, Ed Westwick and Jessica Szohr will both be presenting at the the MuchMusic Video Awards in Canada, according to hiphossip.com.
“The MMVAs is a star-gazer’s dream, with ultimate fan access from start to finish,” said Sheila Sullivan, director of programming, Much MTV Group, CTV Inc. “The craziness of the arrivals, the energy and shrieks from the fans, and their sheer proximity to the stars is what makes the MMVAs red carpet unlike any other red carpet in the world.”
