Penn Badgley From Gossip Girl Interview

Oh Dan Humphrey how I love you… GOSSIP GIRL is on tonight at 9pm and I cannot wait. To wet your appetite, here is a fun interview with my newest TV Boyfriend Penn Badgley from E!

Gossip Girl is the first freshman series to get a full-season pickup. That must feel pretty good.
Yeah, it’s cool. We were on set when we heard the news. [Executive producers] Josh Schwartz and Stephanie [Savage] had us all gather around the speakerphone, and they told us, so that was exciting.

Were you guys expecting it?
I wasn’t really surprised. People who expected us to do better [ratings] right off the bat were being unrealistic, because the CW is still trying to establish itself as a full-fledged network. I think a show like Gossip Girl is just going to keep building an audience. It seems to be doing that slowly but surely every week.

Are you getting recognized already?
Actually, multiple times a day. If I go out in the city, chances are it’s going to happen, especially if Blake [Lively] and I are together. We have this Serena and Dan complex going, so people freak out if they see the two of us.

In the books, Dan has a bi-curious element, no? He has questioned his sexuality.
Yeah, I think he’s straight-up gay in the books. But I don’t think network TV really has the balls to make one of their [teenage] series regulars gay. Let’s say the show builds up to become a big hit, then I think they’d maybe explore it in year three or four. It would be an interesting thing to do. It could bring in a whole different demographic.

Um, listen up The CW… LET DAN HUMPHREY BE A BIG OLE GAY!!! Read the rest of the interview with E!’s Watch with Kristin

    I agree. I mean, he lives in Williamsburg and has the whole hipster-queer style down already! It’d be so much more fun if Serena was his hag! Hahaha.
