After getting the green-light to air on a start-up network, the CW, the show blew up and while\u00a0<em>Sex And The City<\/em> had blazed the trail for a New York-based show with a focus on fashion (thanks Patricia Field!), the wardrobes of heroines Serena and Blair were editorialized television as if plucked from a high-end fashion magazine. But it was the boys who brought the drama.<\/p>\n<p>And today, <em>Variety<\/em> has brought two of the those boys together.<\/p>\n<p>The publication has released another YouTube episode of <em>Actors On Actors<\/em> and oh, how the nostalgia floods with this one. <em>Gossip Girl<\/em> alumni Chace Crawford and Penn Badgley, who played Nate Archibald and Dan Humphrey, respectively, on the hit series have jumped on a Zoom call together to talk about their heydays.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBack in 07 or 09, <em>Gossip Girl<\/em> was edgy,\u201d says Crawford, 34.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI know, man,\u201d replies Badgley who definitely can only now be viewed as a serial killer named Joe thanks to his recent role in Netflix\u2019s <em>You<\/em>. \u201cThat\u2019s funny because [<em>Gossip Girl<\/em>] really was [edgy]. I mean, I haven\u2019t seen it so long. It would be very interesting to watch it now. Have you seen it, recently?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBuddy, that was on the question list I was going to ask you!\u201d Crawford says, laughing. \u201cI think it would be interesting to see the first couple, maybe.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Gossip Girl Season 1 Trailer\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/eCg1RN-dyQk?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>Badgley, now 33 years old, says he found it difficult to go back and watch himself as a young 20-something trying to act on television, something he tried to do with his now-wife a little while ago who hadn\u2019t actually seen the show. \u201cThese snapshots of yourself when you\u2019re 20 years old, 21 years old, 22 years old \u2013 who can enjoy that? Sometimes it\u2019s uncomfortable. It\u2019s like, \u2018Man, I can see how uncomfortable I was.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Crawford \u2013 who is currently starring as a superhero on Amazon\u2019s <em>The Boys<\/em> \u2013 was all for catching up with his former co-star in person to watch the show together. \u201cSo we\u2019ll do that, when you come to LA. We\u2019ll have a drink. We\u2019ll watch it,\u201d he quips.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cDude, if we live tweeted a viewing of any episode of <em>Gossip Girl<\/em>, people would love that. Are you kidding?\u201d Badgley replies.<\/p>\n<p>The boys then go into talking about the absence of social media and how <em>Gossip Girl<\/em> was almost ahead of its time, its anonymous blogger blasting out notifications to all on the sign-up list. \u201cWe didn\u2019t have to deal with [social media],&#8221; says Crawford, before remembering a time on set where Badgley had the very first iPhone.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBlake [Lively] got me that!,\u201d responds Badgley. \u201cI was like, \u2018I don\u2019t want this, it\u2019s so cumbersome. And it has apps?\u2019 I even remember meeting a publicist that first season and she was explaining Twitter to me. And I was like, \u2018What is this nonsense?\u2019 I don\u2019t want to have a Twitter account and you tweet? What is this? Birds? Explaining it to me \u2013 because I\u2019m not a technological genius \u2013 was such a foreign concept and I was just so uninterested.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>\u201c<em>Gossip Girl<\/em>, in a way, was a futuristic concept,\u201d he continued. \u201cIt was social media before social media.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Indeed it was.<\/p>\n<p>Watch their entire conversation below.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Chace Crawford &amp; Penn Badgley - Actors on Actors - Full Conversation\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/gPTqe_SPf-E?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":25,"featured_media":663,"template":"","format":"standard","categories":[23,16],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v18.5 (Yoast SEO v20.4) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Penn Badgley and Chace Crawford Jumped On A Zoom Call<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Gossip Girl stars Penn Badgley and Chace Crawford, who played Dan Humphrey and Nate Archibald, have jumped on a call as part of Variety&#039;s &quot;Actors On Actors&quot; series.
