Chace Crawford sizzles in magazine spread
HEARTTHROB: Chace Crawford has been a real hottie ever since bursting onto the scene in Gossip Girl in 2007. But he seemed like just a kid – cute, but very young.
Well, somebody is growing up!
A photo spread in WWD shows a sophisticated young man with a classic leading man look. This lead paragraph really says it all: Like the Pussycat Dolls or Brad Pitt, Chace Crawford is the kind of perfect human specimen that should be freeze-dried and put in a time capsule so that, in several thousand years, whatever manlike species can get a sense of just how good we looked.
The article also details how he sort of fell into acting which was not originally part of his plans:After high school, Crawford enrolled in Pepperdine University in Malibu, Calif., with the intention of studying broadcast journalism and business. This lasted all of a few semesters. “I didn’t really like it that much,” he says. On the urging of a friend of a friend in Los Angeles, he met with a commercial agent, who connected him with a theatrical agent. He shook some hands; people seemed to be interested. So with his parents’ blessing, he dropped out to see where some acting classes and auditions might lead. To supplement his income, he was a valet at the swanky seaside restaurant Geoffrey’s Malibu.
Parking Porsches didn’t last long. “Too many things fell in the right place at the right time,” says Crawford, who shot a made-for-TV movie, the 2006 supernatural thriller The Covenant and “a couple of indies” before he read the Gossip GirlGossip Girl] comes around—the right character, the right people to do the show, the right cast—that formula for success is difficult.”
