Flash back 21 years ago. The year: 1990. The place: Beverly Hills, 90210. The boys: Dylan, Brandon and David - pretty cute! Fast forward to 2003. The place: Orange County, California. The boys: Ryan, Seth and Zac - still, pretty cute! But the scandals, the glamour and evidently, the boys got ten times better in 2007, when the drama moved all the way to New York City. The boys...? Chuck, Nate and Dan - there are flames coming out of those names, btw!
So at its 5th season, Gossip Girl has got us hooked more than ever, so, it just felt right to dedicate this Secret Sunday Lover post to my favorite Gossip Boy, lonely boy.
Name: Penn Badgley // Age: 25 // Profession: Actor // Why We Love Him: His perfect nose, pout and smile. His deep and incredibly sexy voice. His ex-girl friend and co-star Blake Lively (although his currently dating Zoe Kravitz, we still like S better). The most surprising thing on his ipod is Coldplay. He's been around for much longer than we think (he was nominated for the Young Actors Award in 2001) and is starring opposite Jeremy Irons and Kevin Spacey in Fall's sharpest psychological thriller, Margin Call... Oh, and did I mention he beat out both James Franco and Rob Pattinson for the lead role in the much-desired Jeff Buckley bio-pic? Pretty impressive, right?
*And since he turned 25 on November 1st, you get a birthday gift in his honor, courtesy of NYLON TV, enjoy!
