This is Neal Bledsoe, the lucky SOB who gets to make-out with Ed Westwick's character, Chuck Bass, on Gossip Girl this season. We must say, he isn't bad to look at, but then again, it is a requirement to be at least an 8 if your going to be on a CW show!
In a recent interview, the unknown actor turned most talked about new face, explains his role on the show:
"Initially I was supposed to play the dean of the freshman class. But then they hired a 28-year-old actor so that seemed like a little bit of a stretch. Now I play a lawyer who is a very well connected alumni at the university who has a hand in deciding who is going to give the famous freshman speech."
Of course, he was asked about kiss, which he describes as "nice" and not as awkward as people might think, (they rehearsed exstensively…squeal.) When he was asked to complete the sentence "Ed Westwick kisses just like…", he replied: "he kisses just like Chuck Bass."
Sneaky, sneaky, sir.
He was then asked about how he first reacted to the role and the controversial scene.
He explains:
"Things like that shouldn’t matter. Unfortunately for some actors things like that do matter and they’ll turn down projects because of it. I thought it was a really fun episode. I had an awesome time doing it. And I think it would’ve been a shame if I was not open-minded enough to do the episode simply because I had to kiss another man."
Bravo! You are officially our new favorite character on the show! (Sorry, Duffster!)
After his stint on GG, be sure to catch him in another sexy project - Sex & The City 2!
He wouldn't reveal what he's doing in the film, but we hope he ends up being Samantha's new cougar prey!
Meeau!
Welcome to our radar, Neil. We hope to see much more of you!
