Even in quarantine, some of our favorite casts have been getting back together for some fun and now the Gossip Girl guys are following suit.
Penn Badgley and Chase Crawford reunited for a virtual reunion as part of Variety's Actors on Actors series and they definitely did not disappoint. Penn revealed that he hasn't seen the show in a while and Chase basically said that he does not want to watch it anytime soon.
"Buddy, you have to strap me to a gurney and pop my eyes open like Clockwork Orange. But no, it would be interesting to see the first couple maybe," Chase said.
"I know that I watched with my now wife, with Domino [Kirke], before we got married. It must’ve been six months after we met. She had never seen it, and that’s the last time I can remember seeing an episode," Penn said. "I remember even then, it has nothing to do with the show, but it was very hard to watch. These snapshots of yourself when you’re 20, 21, 22 years old. Who can enjoy that? Sometimes it’s just uncomfortable."
While they haven't seen it in a while, they're already making plans to get together and watch it.
"I don’t like really watching myself that much in general. So to go back and open that time capsule, I think there would be some nostalgic value. We’re doing that when you come to L.A. We’ll have a drink," Chase said.
"A little watching party," Penn replied. "Dude, if we live-tweet a viewing of any episode of Gossip Girl, people would love that."
Penn also opened up about a special gift that Blake Lively gave him that he wasn't 100 percent a fan of at the time and how Gossip Girl affected social media.
"Remember, '07 was when the very first iPhone came out. I remember you got it. I remember you had it at a Halloween party," Chase said. "You had the first iPhone, and think about that now. I remember we were more about camera phones and this and that. There wasn’t social media."
"Blake got me that. I literally was like, 'I don’t want this thing. It’s so cumbersome, and it has all these apps on it,'" Penn revealed. "I remember even meeting a publicist that first season, and she was talking about this thing called Twitter. And as she explained Twitter, I was like, 'What is this nonsense? I don’t want to have a Twitter account, and you tweet. What is this bird thing?' That’s something that actually years later, I think we got to give credit to Gossip Girl.
And that's not the only thing that Gossip Girl changed. Penn also noted that he had a major say in a special dish at the Lotte New York Palace.
"When Blake and I went there to eat, it was probably when we were shooting there. They had a grilled cheese sandwich there called "The Gossip Girl Grilled Cheese Sandwich." And I was like, "You should just call it 'The Gossip Grill,'" he said. "And then, [the manager] took the menu from me and went inside, changed the name right there, printed a different menu and handed me a new menu with my suggestion. And I was like, "OK. This is a way to live."
"The new kids won’t get that treatment," Chase said, mentioning the cast of the Gossip Girl reboot.
"Dude, I’m so interested to see what it’s like. I wish them well. I really am also interested to see how people react to it," Penn replied.
Does this means they'll be down to bring back Nate and Dan in the new reboot? Guess we'll have to wait and see!
