‘Gossip Girl’s’ Ed Westwick On What He'd Like to See Happen With Blair & Chuck

Ed Westwick, who plays the scheming but undeniably sexy Chuck Bass on Gossip Girl, was in Manila this past week, shooting his campaign for clothing brand Penshoppe.
Here's an excerpt from an interview he did with Pam Pastor for the Philippine Daily Inquirer
How do you feel about Kaylee DeFer joining the show and Taylor Momsen and Jessica Szohr leaving?
Kaylee’s been a great addition. Her character’s been interesting and she’s a lot of fun. I know Taylor’s gone off to do stuff with her band so I wish her the best. And Jessica’s gone off to do other stuff as well, I think. So I wish them and everybody the best and I’m looking forward to this new season.
Do you see yourself in Chuck Bass? What do you love about him?
I don’t really see myself which is a good thing because he’s a bit of a dastardly individual. But what I admire about the character, from an acting point of view anyway, is that he’s very, in some ways, four dimensional. He has such mood swings, if you like. He can be very dark, he can be very soulless and heartless and horrible to be around. He can be so tortured in himself. But he can be really loving—but obsessional sometimes. That’s what I admire, from an acting point of view.
Do people confuse you with Chuck Bass?
No, I wouldn’t say confuse me with. I don’t think it’s ever like that. They get surprised when they hear me speak with my English accent but no, not really. I think people understand that it’s just a character, it’s not real.
If you had the power to dictate what would happen to Chuck and Blair, what would you do?
I think they belong together. I don’t know how we’re going to get them together but I think they’ve got to come together at some point and have little Chuck babies.
In bow ties.
Little Chuck babies in bow ties.
Can you talk about your future projects?
I finished shooting J. Edgar, it’s Clint Eastwood’s new film and it’s about J. Edgar Hoover who was the head of the FBI in the States. It’s his story. I’m in that and I’m gonna play a young FBI agent. That’s very exciting and we’re going to enjoy that when it comes out. And we’re doing Romeo Juliet and I’m playing Tybalt, Juliet’s fiery cousin. That’s gonna be another interesting character for me to play—obviously a classic story.

Gossip Girl: Leighton - "Blair definitely has a flame burning for Chuck"

"Gossip Girl" will go international when season four kicks off this fall. And while we know the Upper East Siders take their drama to Paris, we wondered what else fans could expect from Blair Waldorf and the crew. For one, is now the right time for Chuck (Ed Westwick) to date a new girl (Clemence Poésy)? We put that question and more to star Leighton Meester when we visited the set of her upcoming movie "Monte Carlo."
"I am a fan, which sounds ridiculous, of Chuck and Blair," Leighton told MTV News of the on-off couple she portrays with Westwick. "I love their relationship, and I really love working with Ed, which is what it probably boils down to. But yeah, I think maybe there needed to be some sort of break in their relationship and some sort of drama," she continued. "Maybe it was going too well, and then there was the downward spiral with his uncle, which was fun to play out but I hate fighting."
Chuck won't be the only one getting some action as Poésy's new character shakes things up: Former "Melrose Place" star Katie Cassidy is set to ignite Nate's (Chace Crawford) love life next season.
"I hope we cross paths, but it would be weird to have a completely different dynamic [onscreen]," Meester said of Cassidy who's also her co-star in the upcoming "Monte Carlo." "I mean, it would be really fun. I think she's coming on the show, maybe, to cause a little bit of trouble. She might not say it, but I will. I think she's very much capable of that, at least in the show. I think [Nate's] a total playboy and needs to be single and I think [Katie's character] is a bad girl, so maybe they are good for each other, actually," Meester said.
But what about Chuck and Blair? They can't really be over, right?
"I think Blair has done some healing, but not entirely," she teased. "She definitely she has a flame burning for Chuck. Who wouldn't?"
