Looong Interview With the Cast of Gossip Girl
Hey Hey!
This came out a few days ago, but I wanted to make sure all my favorite GG fans got a chance to read this awesome interview with the six main characters of Gossip Girl. Here’s a preview:
MediaBlvd:
Will you do anything different on a TV series, since your character can’t peak in one episode?
Blake:
I’m very excited because Serena is very complex. She was what you can call a bad girl before, and now she’s trying to be good. But, she’s still got this core to her. She’s being pulled at all different angles, from her mom to her brother to this new good guy, Dan, to Nate who she still loves, to her best friend. She’s got all of these people pulling on her and she needs to find her place. I definitely think there’s going to be room to explore different areas because she’s so complex.
What was your awkward phase like?
Leighton:
I had braces and glasses. You don’t even want to know what my hair was like. I never did my eyebrows. I wore sneakers and long baggy jeans. It was bad. I went that way to school, but then, when I would go to the set, I would get all made up and it was great. But, I just didn’t try, normally. I guess it was just because I was really innocent. It’s so crazy to see these people in this situation being so not innocent. But, I think that it’s because they’re in the Upper East Side, where it’s an exclusive little bubble, and they’re allowed to do whatever they want, whenever they want.
MediaBlvd:
Have you suggested anything to the writers and creators what you would like to see your character do?
Penn:
I’ll suggest certain things, as a joke, but in general, they’ve got a handle on it. They know what they’re doing. Suggestions of mine would be taken to heart, but ultimately, they have their own vision and I just go along with it, at this point.
MediaBlvd:
Have you, yourself, ever felt like an outsider?
Chace:
I’ve felt like an outsider for the last three years, in this business. All the names get the jobs. It’s such a political thing. When it gets down to the finals, there’s five guys and the producers lay out the resumes. I was always fighting that. I think you have to get over that and start the snowball towards you.
MediaBlvd:
Do you text, or have a Sidekick?
Taylor:
I am obsessed with texting. I don’t really have a Sidekick type of phone. I have a nail polish painted phone. It’s fun. I can change the color every week. You just take it off with nail polish remover. It works great. But, I can text 24/7. It’s crazy. I can do it without looking now. It’s my new thing. My mom sees me and says, “Taylor, it’s like you’re doing braille or something.”
MediaBlvd:
Did you feel a camaraderie with the rest of the cast, right away?
Ed:
Definitely. It’s really good. We all hit it off, straight away, and I think that’s really important. Co-workers, crew, the producers, everyone just seemed like such a nice group of people, which is important in enabling you to work to the best of your ability. You’ve got to be comfortable doing things. We do some quite insane stuff. I had just met Taylor Momsen and, all of a sudden, I was supposed to be trying to date rape her. She’s a young girl and I had no experience in that kind of thing. We had that trust. It’s important to get along with people, and we do. It’s great.
