Chace Crawford Talks Gay Face, Studied Journalism at Pepperdine University

I had a good time watching Gossip Girl last night. I'm proud to say I've gotten into this trash last season. Details magazine dug up some info on Chace's past. All of these boys are absolutely delicious!! Great cover choice. :)

Chace, you're hot. I love your "gayface."

"On top of everything else, I have to overcome gayface."

Growing up in the wealthy Dallas suburb of Plano, Crawford says he wasn't anything like his Gossip character, the preppy Nate Archibald.

• He moved on to college to study broadcast journalism at California's Pepperdine University, but dropped out.

• He briefly worked a valet (Suge Knight was a client!) before moving on to modeling. But being handled and positioned made him feel "like an animal," he says.

• When he signed on for Gossip, he says he wasn't sure the show would last. So he asked co-star Ed Westwick to be his roommate.

• "I thought, 'Let's pool our money and get something good,'" Chace says. "I didn't even know if the show was going to last."

• He has six more seasons to go under his contract.

• "It never really gets frustrating," he says. "Sure, sometimes you just want to have a scene where you're drunk or having fun. I'm hoping for a fall from grace for Nate. Five years from now, I better have murdered someone!"

"Once when we were on location on the Upper East Side," he says, "these girls came up, you know, with the Blair headbands and their skirts hiked up higher than they should be, and I said to them, 'So, are you looking at colleges?' and they said, 'No, we're in seventh grade.'"

Says Crawford, "I was like, 'What?! You shouldn't even be watching our show!'"
