The actors who gained popularity thanks to the drama show Gossip Girl, sometimes behaved more like their characters in real life. Surrounding intrigue, drama, and loads of gossip, the lives of the main cast of the series always made it to the Hollywood headlines. While many other teen celebrities of that time made news regularly, the stars of the CW show perhaps enjoyed extra attention given the mature themes of the show as well.
From Blake Lively to Ed Westwick, the stars of Gossip Girl truly lived the drama they played on screen. Their affairs and secret hookups were splashed on page 6 of the newspapers quite frequently. A specific piece of news got major traction as Westwick was photographed making out with a popular actress who was 12 years older than him.
Ed Westwick hooked up with Drew Barrymore
Ed Westwick and Drew Barrymore bonded at an event and were later spotted getting intimate in a hookup session. Nevertheless, this happening made it to the headlines back in 2008. Hot off the Gossip Girl popularity when the show was in its second season, our very own Chuck Bass was enjoying some quality time with Barrymore at a King Leon concert.
The two were spotted leaving the Saturday Night Live afterparty together and were later pictured making out at the concert. Despite the 12-year age gap between the two celebrities, they got hot and heavy at the concert for everyone to see with Barrymore even sitting on Westwick’s lap for a few moments.
The passionate hookup remained at that and nothing more saw the light of day. Their steamy affair was over before we knew it, but it didn’t stop all the major Hollywood reporters to cover it and splash it as the front page news. Similar to his Gossip Girl character Chuck Bass, Westwick indulged in an affair regardless of Barrymore’s age or the consequences of their actions.
