It will be interesting to know how the actors of the beloved film have changed and what they look like today.

Penn Badgley (Dan Humphrey)

Interestingly, colleagues on the series, Penn Badgley and Blake Lively, were dating in real life, but their relationship didn’t continue. After filming was completed, the actor decided not to limit himself to acting and joined the indie rock band MOTHXR. In his personal life, Penn is doing well: in 2017, he married singer Domino Kirk.

Blake Lively (Serena Van Der Woodsen)

The appearance in “Gossip Girl” became Lively’s ticket to the world of big cinema, and she didn’t miss her chance.

After “Gossip Girl”, the actress never got bright roles, but on the set of the film “Love Binding” she met her fate, actor Adam Brody, whom she married in 2014. The couple has 2 children.

Ed Westwick (Chuck Bass)

The role of Chuck Bass was played by Ed Westwick, who literally woke up famous after the release of the movie. The actor used the series as a guarantee to launch his brilliant career in Hollywood, but the rapid rise was stopped by an unpleasant fact: in 2017, the star was accused of sexual harassment, and after that the directors are no longer in a hurry to invite Westwick to new projects.

Taylor Momsen (Jenny Humphrey)

Like many of her co-stars, after the film Taylor decided to engage in music. The successful career in this direction made the actress leave the 4th season of “Gossip Girl”. The Pretty Reckless, led by Taylor, turned out to be such a successful project that now the star is perceived solely as a talented singer who once starred in films a long time ago.

Chace Crawford (Nate Archibald)

After filming in “Gossip Girl”, Chace played several more prominent roles in films and TV shows, but over time, his career almost faded. In Chace’s personal life, too, everything is pretty quiet: he was not seen in any of the noisy scandals and prefers not to speak up about his life and novels.
