Manhattan elite. This simple phrase is immediately associated with only one incredible series - "Gossip Girl". The actors undoubtedly played with a bang, but the cameraman and the designers also worked one hundred percent - it was they who gave the serial world Gossip Girl that incredible style that has been bewitching from the first episodes. "Gossip Girl" stands out among other youth dramas: it has something that is not in others. The elite here are not spoiled "golden" boys and girls, but a real aristocracy, with a share (it must be said, considerable!) Of intrigue and, of course, slander. It is they who are famous for the series "Gossip Girl", whose actors and roles are just as remarkable as he is.
Serena van der Woodsen - Blake Lively
The chic blonde, played by the inimitable Blake Lively, at each of his appearances brings a note of insanity, frivolity and, of course, charm to the events.
Blake Lively and her heroine Serena van der Woodsen open our
review of the Gossip Girl series (the actors and characters embodied by them interest us).
Like her heroine, a twenty-eight-year-old beauty who fell in love with Hollywood, she is very passionate about fashion: she has no equal on the red carpet. Blake vehemently advocates a healthy lifestyle, driving off excess calories in the gym and claiming that it is a pleasure for her.
In an interview after the first season of Gossip Girl, Miss Lively mentioned that she would like to star in a remake of a 40s movie. Well, we can say that she got part of her: not so long ago the film "Age of Adalin" was released with Blake in the title role, in which she managed to visit in the forties, too.
Blair Waldorf - Leighton Mister
The heroine Leighton Mister in Gossip girl is a smart, purposeful girl, somewhat arrogant, she has no equal in intrigue. What-what, but Blair Waldorf knows how to avenge and build insidious plans for sure! Her idols are Audrey Hepburn and Grace Kelly, the real ladies Waldorf wants to be. Leighton Mister continues the list of the series "Gossip Girl": actors and roles.
Miss Mr. (such a pun here) is not much similar in life to her heroine. She is a much simpler girl to communicate with, unlike Blair, she does not seek to compete with friends and sincerely believes that love should be in a peaceful environment.
Leighton does not burn with a passion for fashion, but prefers simple and comfortable clothes, often smiles and is generally a very family man. She is known not only as an actress, but also as a singer: Leighton Mister herself writes and performs songs, accompanying herself on the guitar.
Charles (Chuck) Bass - Ed Westwick
The incarnation of the devil in the series is, of course, Chuck Bass. Over the course of the series, his personality evolves: he discards the image of the womanizer in Blair's favor, and events such as the death of his father and assumption of responsibility make him grow up and grow from a nonchalant “golden” boy into a real businessman. Although some vices, and most importantly, charisma, still always remain with him.
Ed Westwick, who plays Chuck Bass, bluntly calls his character an insensitive villain and does not have any sympathy for him. Ed Chuck is interesting only from an acting point of view, no more. In real life, Mr. Westwick in every way rejects comparisons with this cowardly (in his opinion) hero.
Ed Westwick, like Leighton Mister, is known as a musician on The Filthy Youth. And although now he no longer plays in it, the actor has plans to create a new group in New York.
Nathaniel (Nate) Archibald - Chase Crawford
Nate Archibald is a good guy from a prosperous family. But, as they say, in a quiet pool there are devils. And an exemplary guy, Blair, with whom he had everything planned for years: a few years of relationships, a wedding and beautiful and smart kids, turns out to be in love with her best friend Serena. But fans of Nathaniel the traitor are still perceived as an angel from heaven. Again, against the background of his best friend - Chuck Bass.
The identification of the similarities between Nate and Chase Crawford, who played him on the screen, suggests itself: both seem inaccessible to handsome men, about whom little is known. In one of the seasons, Nate is said to be "no." No bright features in his character are manifested, although he falls in love with himself with his beautiful hair and broad shoulders. What, it seems, can be said about Mr. Crawford exactly the same thing.
Daniel (Dan) Humphrey - Penn Badgley
A simple guy from Brooklyn with the gift of a writer - this is how Dan Humphrey is represented in Gossip Girl. His family and himself are not the Manhattan elite, but this is his charm. Dan is not inclined to intrigue, but honest and does not play with the feelings of others.
Pann Badgley, the actor who played Dan in the series, looks like his character, although not one hundred percent. Mr. Badley assures that he is just the same simple guy and does not feel involvement in the upper world. He likes the ideals of Humphrey, and he shares them.
In life, Pann Badgley, in addition to acting, is engaged in music. But, unlike his colleagues Ed Westwick and Leighton Mister, he doesn’t play in public, believes that his music is too personal, also non-profit, closer to the arthouse.
As you can see, not all the actors of the series "Gossip Girl" are like their heroes, but there are those who themselves see in themselves features of similarity with the characters.
