2. STEPPING OUT OF CHARACTER

Westwick has played so many roles outside of bad boy Bass, but his "Gossip Girl" persona follows him everywhere. Speaking about stepping out of this character while filming "Me, You, Madness.", he said:

“I’ve done a lot of drama and walked around in a suit with my hands in my pockets brooding a lot in "Gossip Girl," and people see that a lot."

He stated that this is partially why he is happy with playing a new role in the movie because he gets to show a new side of his acting range. Westwick also admitted it was fun to play another character.

3. MOVING OUT OF ACTING

Westwick has not only stepped away from his "Gossip Girl" role in the acting field; he is also constantly making strides outside of the world of drama in general, with other pursuits in music and law.

The charges, of which Westwick denied, were dropped.

Since six years old, this artist has played music, eventually finding himself in a band called "Filthy Youth." Westwick managed to do all this while obtaining his A-levels in Communication, Business, and Law.

4. SEXIEST MAN ALIVE

Beyond music, acting, and law, one achievement he probably didn't have to work for as much was obtaining the title of "Sexiest Man Alive." This was according to TV Fanatic.

Of course, even someone like Westwick will get knocked off his throne eventually. In time, Hugh Jackman replaced this handsome man.

5. SEXUAL ALLEGATIONS

Cohen's accusations were taken on board by the LAPD. Eventually, it was concluded that there was not enough evidence, and the charges, of which Westwick denied, were dropped.
