Yes he's the perfect Chuck Bass but if it was a bad day i could go with Ian. They both have that jerk badass smoking smoldering look. Tho Ed is still the best choice since he has the wealthy classic vibe as he's British.
its usually alot easier for someone from england to do some kind of american accent, it usually doesnt work when someone with any sort of american accent tries to do a 'british one' they always sound cockney
Interesting...I think very few British actors can do a good American accent. Pretty much only Ed, Sam Palladio, and Hugh Laurie. Robert Pattinson makes me want to rip my ears off; it's so bad! He shifts from one regional accent to another within a sentence! And poor Emma Watson...when I saw The Perks of Being a Wallflower I actually burst out laughing in one of the serious scenes because she had her accent so wrong. Granted, I am a bit more sensitive to accents so I might just notice it more. I don't really know if I've heard an American do a good British accent, though. Jennifer Ehle does a nice one, but she has one English parent so I don't know if we can count her. Now Australian people, they can normally do a spot on American accent (except for the one or two that loses it sometimes).
Kimberly Sheen i know what you mean but at least they do an accent that can be at least somewhat believable instead of trying to be something between eastenders and harry potter
In the pilot episode he does say his mom's paxil but then later on in the season he mentions she died so it was just a plot hole unfortunately I love Chuck & Blair ❤
@@radkat3710 Nah, Chuck in the books has both parents. At the beginning of the show Chuck wasn’t suppose to be a main character at all just the added villain. After pilot they changed many things do to feedback; like no public transport(there rich kids), no mom, main character and increased budget.
His audition was by far the best. Not only does he dig deep into the character (showing the subtle fears and struggles of Chuck behind his humor and arrogance without overdoing it, thus making it look likeable and realistic), but he also changes his accent so unbelievably good that one cannot tell whether he's American or not. Chace and Blake and many others from the show (except for Leighton) are NOTHING compared to him.
the character of chuck bass has changed quite a lot from the very beggining till the last season of gossip girl. Ed Westwick has proved with this, he is a great actor and he undertands his character and his transformation from badass teenager to businessman and madly in love with Blair.

People need to realize Ed was like 18 or 19 when he audition for this show, so like DiCaprio, his voice has changed over the years, the voice he uses now, is quite mature still has that "come hither" to it.
I always loved how he called Nate "Nathaniel".
+Nezire Cavus omg yeah!
same
Yeah. His voice is just...ugh
I thought I was the only one.
Me too it showed that they were super close as friends because chuck and his family called him like that
I'm kinda surprised he didn't just sit down and say: "I'm Chuck Bass." and that would be the end of the audition ^^
Trueee
best comment of 2016
omg yes XDD
Summer Ce oh YAS.
10/10
Thank goodness he got the part because I couldn't picture anybody else playing Chuck Bass.
Yes! Imagine how many great actor/role combinations we might miss because an actor hat a bad day at the auditon or just decided not to show up :D
Actually The production created another chuck because The original chuck is completly diferent
Yes he's the perfect Chuck Bass but if it was a bad day i could go with Ian. They both have that jerk badass smoking smoldering look. Tho Ed is still the best choice since he has the wealthy classic vibe as he's British.
Righttt
ikrrrr i just cant imagine someone else saying "Nathaniel" lol
Am I the only one who loves it when Chuck called Nate "Nathaniel"
Alexis Talbert ME
He masks his British accent so well!!
he is british
Jasmin Belieber In your avatar is picture of ugly boy, remove it.
tomburg2 mind your Business, He isn't ugly. I think your ugly that's why you call other People ugly.
Why the fuck youuu liennn
+Jasmin Belieber everyone is beautiful children LETS NOT HATE LETS LOVE
I didn't even think he was hot at first but then he really grew on me over time!! 😍
yes 😩
MN lol same
same
Same omg I love him now
saaaame
It's always funny when he says nathaniel. I also think his natural accent helps him with a new york city accent.
just curious, why would that help him? :) not a native so.. just wondering
SwedishTourist The NYC Accent has this flourish that can still sound natural if a british actor accidentally slips (you can hear it in The Godfather)
I love when he says ''Because I'm Chuck Bass"....Great actor and sexiest men.
Truly remarkable acting skills.
hannah fredrick ikr! His American accent is so good!
Chuck's voice!!! . Can I hit another puberty and have his voice?
"can I hit another puberty"
Did it work
Have you?
that’s his american accent he’s british😂
"I love it when you talk dirty. Actually, I prefer it when you're not talking."
“I love it when u talk dirty”
My heart stopped 😍😍

Kimberly Sheen
Wow thats such deep stuff all over a little accent.
+Aimee definitely not true
+Kimberly Come on Idris Elba can do an American accent.
I remember this scene (': I've watched gossip girl a thousand time omg
He keeps saying "parents" I guess they didn't tell him...
They changed up the script after auditions. A lot of things were edited in and out
Oooo I see, I see. Wasn't he just the greatest character?!? The chemistry with Blair drove me insane
Hahahahahahahhaha
In the pilot episode he does say his mom's paxil but then later on in the season he mentions she died so it was just a plot hole unfortunately
I love Chuck & Blair ❤

Such a talented a actor
Why he don't say "I am Chuck Bass"? That could be the end of the audition hahah
"I'm Chuck bass" YOU GOT THE PART
He is YUMMY.
He is the BEST actor for this roll hands down
"Tap that ass" I died. I was absolutely dead.

He killed that audition.
I wish he talked more like this instead of always whispering like he does in GG
How is it possible to fall in love with a deep voice..
The fact I never knew he was British until I saw him in white gold shows how good his American accent is 😂
Ok 10 years later and RUclips is just recommending this ✨✨

He is the perfect Chuck Bass

I don't know why the people say he was ugly or not handsome enough in the first season, JUST LOOK AT HIM HE IS THE DEFINITION OF GORGEOUS
LUCKY US!! We had him in an iconic TV show!!! 👏😌🐝
2020 cant believe this was ten years ago LMAO
I can't imagine Gossip Girl without anyone, they're amazing!
the character of chuck bass has changed quite a lot from the very beggining till the last season of gossip girl. Ed Westwick has proved with this, he is a great actor and he undertands his character and his transformation from badass teenager to businessman and madly in love with Blair.
