I know. I mean, you can keep playing golf throughout your life. And I'm not even, like, I feel like I, it seems like I play in these little charity things that they invite me to. Aww. So I, yeah. So I'm like, but I'm not that big of a golfer. I played growing up because there was, because I just wasn't going to be big enough for football. So that was sort of the impetus there.
Call Her Daddy
Chace Crawford: Gossip Girl, House Parties & Dating Disasters (FBF)
It would have been totally different. Because the next year I got the Gossip Girl thing. So it would have been totally different. Oh, my God.

Call Her Daddy
Chace Crawford: Gossip Girl, House Parties & Dating Disasters (FBF)
Oh, my God. I actually ended up going. One of my best friends in high school was this girl, Alyssa. Alyssa Weldon. Love her. We called her Woobie. So we used to go to prom together just because I think I had a girlfriend from a different school. And there was a thing where the girls didn't want you. It was just like, you can't bring a girlfriend to school. So I want to bring my friend, Woobie.
Call Her Daddy
Chace Crawford: Gossip Girl, House Parties & Dating Disasters (FBF)

Mike's Hard Lemonade. Or no. It was a grab bag. It was Mike's Hard Lemonade and Smirnoff. I don't want to say Smirnoff. Smirnoff. Or like Zima or something like that. But it was Mike's Hard Lemonade and Smirnoff. I think I had one of each. But it was one of those things where you don't know if you're drunk and you don't know how to act. You act drunker than you are. I think I'm feeling great.
Call Her Daddy
Chace Crawford: Gossip Girl, House Parties & Dating Disasters (FBF)

Chace Crawford: Gossip Girl, House Parties & Dating Disasters (FBF)
I think I lied about my age, too, because I thought it was cool to be picked. Would you work here? I was like, yeah, maybe. Maybe. Yeah, give me an application. And I was lying on the application.
Call Her Daddy
Chace Crawford: Gossip Girl, House Parties & Dating Disasters (FBF)
You have no idea. First of all, okay, you get to the mall, you walk in, you can smell that store from any entrance point in the mall, right? Woods Cologne. I can smell it and I can taste it right now thinking about it. It's kind of disgusting. They probably still have it. God. Yep. And then as I'm getting closer, I can hear the same fucking mix that they've been playing on repeat for 48 hours.
Call Her Daddy
Chace Crawford: Gossip Girl, House Parties & Dating Disasters (FBF)
I know this song and now I probably love every song on there, but like it's the same thing you get in there. There's like greeters standing there, sometimes shirtless back in the day.
Call Her Daddy
Chace Crawford: Gossip Girl, House Parties & Dating Disasters (FBF)
I was never one of those. They tried to act. Oh, I had enough, at least self-dignity, respect. And they were like, I'm a math guy. They put me behind the register. So, and I actually, time went by way faster. I was not a greeter, but you get there, you might be introduced by some shirtless guys. And then, and there's all these photographs.
Call Her Daddy
Chace Crawford: Gossip Girl, House Parties & Dating Disasters (FBF)
He's like those Bruce Weber, like black and white photographs. You know, those were kind of the iconic thing that made it so.
Call Her Daddy
Chace Crawford: Gossip Girl, House Parties & Dating Disasters (FBF)
At the time, that was very like racy and like.
Call Her Daddy
Chace Crawford: Gossip Girl, House Parties & Dating Disasters (FBF)
Yeah. It was terrible. Yeah. I worked at both. I worked at Hollister too for a summer. It was terrible. It was awful. It was awful.
Call Her Daddy

Call Her Daddy
Chace Crawford: Gossip Girl, House Parties & Dating Disasters (FBF)
Thank you for having me, Alex. Yeah.
Call Her Daddy
Chace Crawford: Gossip Girl, House Parties & Dating Disasters (FBF)
It was cool. Yeah. It was cool.
Call Her Daddy
Chace Crawford: Gossip Girl, House Parties & Dating Disasters (FBF)
No, there's no malls. The Bev Center is great. It's empty. It's like kind of nice. You can walk my dog. It's kind of nice in there. It is a ghost town. Okay.
Call Her Daddy
Chace Crawford: Gossip Girl, House Parties & Dating Disasters (FBF)
No, I had no idea. I mean, I, like a lot of kids, I grew up in the OC in high school and into my college life.
Call Her Daddy
Chace Crawford: Gossip Girl, House Parties & Dating Disasters (FBF)
In my college year, it was the best show. Loved it. But it was weird. I went in there. It was like a process of like six hoops to jump through. It was actually kind of a wild process, but... I knew that Josh and Stephanie did the OC. They're phenomenal. And I knew it had this potential to be cool. And I'm like, oh, they're definitely going to change the name.
Call Her Daddy
Chace Crawford: Gossip Girl, House Parties & Dating Disasters (FBF)
That name's never going to stick, you know. It's based on these books, whatever. But I went in. And then right away, if I remember correctly, I wore like my most New York-y jacket possible. Like my preppiest, you know, whatever.
Call Her Daddy
Chace Crawford: Gossip Girl, House Parties & Dating Disasters (FBF)
But at the same time, I was a little bit like, again, I'm like younger. I was a little like eye roll. Like this is kind of, not beneath me, but I wanted Friday Night Live.
Call Her Daddy
Chace Crawford: Gossip Girl, House Parties & Dating Disasters (FBF)
So I kind of went in there with a very kind of blase, whatever, which probably worked in my favor, as those things kind of do. But they wanted to do a test thing right away, which I thought, great, there's going to be one more audition or whatever. But then it was back with producers, and then producers and director. And then it was like, It's all different now.
Call Her Daddy
Chace Crawford: Gossip Girl, House Parties & Dating Disasters (FBF)
Now it's all self-tapes and you just kind of put yourself out there. Right. But back then it was like – it was CW. So it was CBS and Warner Brothers. So you had to go to like the top of like the Warner Brothers building. And I remember one of the final – maybe fourth or fifth times I walked in this big like 40-row conference room. And I think I tested with a few –
Call Her Daddy
Chace Crawford: Gossip Girl, House Parties & Dating Disasters (FBF)
actresses few girls for like Blair or whatever and I remember thinking like I'm like god that's a really great part like she's got some great chunks of dialogue it's like funny and you know no no offense they didn't really I was like that's I just don't really see it with these girls and I got this big conference room and there was just this one girl kind of sitting with her back turned I walked all the way I was like
Call Her Daddy
Chace Crawford: Gossip Girl, House Parties & Dating Disasters (FBF)
hi, nice to meet you. And it was like late and turned around. And before she even said, I'm like, that's, she's like so perfect. She was like, hi, nice to meet you. I'm like, that's the girl. So we both were like super nervous and we had to like go in and test. It's silly. It was like a theater seating, dark room, one stool, like lights.
Call Her Daddy
Chace Crawford: Gossip Girl, House Parties & Dating Disasters (FBF)
And it was like, you go in and it's like the silliest scenes ever. You're doing like in front of like all these people. I'm like, talk about Nathaniel's Paxil and all this stupid stuff. Oh,
Call Her Daddy
Chace Crawford: Gossip Girl, House Parties & Dating Disasters (FBF)
Yeah, always for Nate. Yeah, I think they switched around some of the roles, kind of like the play. I remember going in and reading with Blake and a few other guys. They were trying to fit the pen to the Dan role. So, yeah.
Call Her Daddy
Chace Crawford: Gossip Girl, House Parties & Dating Disasters (FBF)
No, like nothing. No, absolutely nothing. I had no idea. I didn't really know any.
Call Her Daddy
Chace Crawford: Gossip Girl, House Parties & Dating Disasters (FBF)

Call Her Daddy
Chace Crawford: Gossip Girl, House Parties & Dating Disasters (FBF)
Kind of. I mean, I kind of freaked out. I didn't know what I wanted to do with my life. I kind of had a freak out moment and just they were supportive. I graduated high school a bit younger. I was like 17. So they were like, take a year off, like do whatever. And of course, I found this acting class. I'm like, I want to be an actor.
Call Her Daddy
Chace Crawford: Gossip Girl, House Parties & Dating Disasters (FBF)
I'm like, guess I'm joining a fraternity, which I didn't necessarily want to do. But yeah.
Call Her Daddy
Chace Crawford: Gossip Girl, House Parties & Dating Disasters (FBF)

Call Her Daddy
Chace Crawford: Gossip Girl, House Parties & Dating Disasters (FBF)
Guaranteed they were so – everyone was probably super left field surprised. Really? Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Call Her Daddy
Chace Crawford: Gossip Girl, House Parties & Dating Disasters (FBF)
No, I never wanted to be an actor. And I also wasn't that guy. I wasn't like Johnny, like, you know, heartthrob on the TV show. I just wasn't. I mean, I was a late bloomer. By the time I was 21, I kind of started to come more into my own, right? Have, you know, real confidence. Confidence.
Call Her Daddy
Chace Crawford: Gossip Girl, House Parties & Dating Disasters (FBF)
It does happen. Yeah. You probably speak that like, yeah, it's like it's weird. Like certain things happen. People act weird around that kind of stuff.
Call Her Daddy
Chace Crawford: Gossip Girl, House Parties & Dating Disasters (FBF)
Yeah, there was that a little bit, actually. Isn't that weird? Yeah, it was weird. It was weird. Yeah.
Call Her Daddy
Chace Crawford: Gossip Girl, House Parties & Dating Disasters (FBF)
I remember the fall of 2007, like right when it started airing, it became big, like right away. Yeah, it was really insane.
Call Her Daddy
Chace Crawford: Gossip Girl, House Parties & Dating Disasters (FBF)
I don't really... I guess there wasn't that one moment. There was me and Ed Westwick who played Chuck on the show.
Call Her Daddy
Chace Crawford: Gossip Girl, House Parties & Dating Disasters (FBF)
You know, he was like an 18-year-old kid from like outside of London. He thought he was like Pete Doherty, right?
Call Her Daddy
Chace Crawford: Gossip Girl, House Parties & Dating Disasters (FBF)
And we... I'm from Texas. I was just in college. I didn't know how expensive New York is. It was insane. My dad had to give us the security deposit in first month's and last month's rent until we got our first paycheck. It was hilarious. So I'm like, Ed, you want to room together? This is crazy. I'm looking at this. He's like, oh, yeah, sure, man. He had no idea.
Call Her Daddy
Chace Crawford: Gossip Girl, House Parties & Dating Disasters (FBF)
and i and we had like first summer we like moving in july like probably just turned 21 or 22 and we were like the summer series in central park i don't know if you remember any of that but they had like big concerts out there and it was like the black keys arctic monkeys i might be dating myself but it was awesome it's awesome sun's out beers and the show hadn't even come out we shot the pilot we just moved there and we're having a blast just him and i just exploring the city
Call Her Daddy
Chace Crawford: Gossip Girl, House Parties & Dating Disasters (FBF)
And these girls did come up to us. And it kind of freaked us out a little bit because we didn't know. And he kind of looked at me and was like, I think we're fucked, mate. He's like, show hasn't even come out yet, man. He's like, this whole thing. And that moment is pretty crystallized in my mind because it was all like the Black Keys were playing.
Call Her Daddy
Chace Crawford: Gossip Girl, House Parties & Dating Disasters (FBF)
That was the very first time I think anyone ever asked for any type of picture. So that was, I do remember that as being like a defining like, oh, interesting. That's a weird feeling.
Call Her Daddy
Chace Crawford: Gossip Girl, House Parties & Dating Disasters (FBF)
Not well. Actually, not well. It kind of made me paranoid, to be honest. Really? Slightly. I don't want to say it was this terrible thing. It was fun. It was fun. But like you said, people come out of the woodwork. People start acting weird around fame. And you start realizing all these things that you can only realize from that scene. But I don't want to act like it was this thing.
Call Her Daddy
Chace Crawford: Gossip Girl, House Parties & Dating Disasters (FBF)
We had a blast. For me, it was all about having fun. I had so much fun. But it was... Um, you just are always kind of like, you can't like, you kind of aren't present all the time. I could, you kind of just kind of like, I'm wary about people or phones like a little bit, like not, you know, I think that's okay to say, like, and I get what you're saying.
Call Her Daddy
Chace Crawford: Gossip Girl, House Parties & Dating Disasters (FBF)
They think they know you, right?
Call Her Daddy
Chace Crawford: Gossip Girl, House Parties & Dating Disasters (FBF)
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. And New York's interesting because it's like you get all these influx of people and tourists. And you're not only you're that character in that city. So it's like Mickey Mouse in Disneyland. They all want to see like take a photo with like Mickey's. You feel like they just come up and hug you. And it's like you're in this costume. Yeah.
Call Her Daddy
Chace Crawford: Gossip Girl, House Parties & Dating Disasters (FBF)
It was just weird. It was like a really weird, like if we were shooting exactly in Toronto, it's a different thing, but people are visiting New York and it was its own character in the show, you know, and people are like, you know, fans of the show. And when they see you actually in that environment, it's like this whole, like their mind is blown, you know? So it was a doubly interesting thing.
Call Her Daddy
Chace Crawford: Gossip Girl, House Parties & Dating Disasters (FBF)
Yeah. It was weird like that. Yeah. Yeah.
Call Her Daddy
Chace Crawford: Gossip Girl, House Parties & Dating Disasters (FBF)
Yeah. Yeah. And I think it was like, like Perez Hilton or whatever the gossip girly thing was at that time was really, I always thought it was like funny stuff, but it was the same thing happening. You know what I mean? And, and, uh, I thought I wouldn't even like New York. I visited in like high school. And of course we went to all the tourists, the awful spots. And I was there for a month.
Call Her Daddy
Chace Crawford: Gossip Girl, House Parties & Dating Disasters (FBF)
Fucking love this place.
Call Her Daddy
Chace Crawford: Gossip Girl, House Parties & Dating Disasters (FBF)
Yeah. We kind of had the keys to the city. And it's like your 20s in New York, as you know, it's just there's nothing better. So it was like, it was so great.
Call Her Daddy
Chace Crawford: Gossip Girl, House Parties & Dating Disasters (FBF)
Oh, God. He had a lot of bad ones, let me tell you that much. We lived in this little apartment. I think it was like a, they call it like a junior one where there was like a real bedroom. Right. And then there was like an office you could put in a closed wall. And I was like, we'll just switch. Like, and I'll pay a little bit more. Of course we never switched. And I'm glad we did.
Call Her Daddy
Chace Crawford: Gossip Girl, House Parties & Dating Disasters (FBF)
Cause Ed's room was like, you know, it was like a lunch pail with like overflowing cigarettes. And like, I mean, you thought like the Joker lived there. It was insane. I'm not even kidding. I shouldn't be calling him out like this, but I love it.
Call Her Daddy
Chace Crawford: Gossip Girl, House Parties & Dating Disasters (FBF)
But he's eight 19. I'm 21. Like, you know, and, and, uh, He was just messy. I'm a little OCD. I mean, I'm not OCD, but I'm like a little bit on that side of like, I need things put in the right place and stuff.
Call Her Daddy
Chace Crawford: Gossip Girl, House Parties & Dating Disasters (FBF)
Just like shoving the stuff in his room, shoving the door. And like, and then it was like, and he's, you know, at the time, like ripping cigs. I was like, stop that. You know, so. Thank you. Thank you.

Chace Crawford: Gossip Girl, House Parties & Dating Disasters (FBF)
That's like, well, you don't, you know, it's like, okay, we're going to be friends maybe, but that's a good point.
Call Her Daddy
Chace Crawford: Gossip Girl, House Parties & Dating Disasters (FBF)
Yeah. And then it becomes, I've definitely been awkward on first date.
Call Her Daddy
Chace Crawford: Gossip Girl, House Parties & Dating Disasters (FBF)
Yeah, you know, you can't wait. What are you going to do? Ghost out the back? Oh, I left my keys.
Call Her Daddy
Chace Crawford: Gossip Girl, House Parties & Dating Disasters (FBF)
Like, what the fuck? If people do that, though, I've had friend buddies that like girls have done that.
Call Her Daddy
Chace Crawford: Gossip Girl, House Parties & Dating Disasters (FBF)
Absolutely. Yeah.
Call Her Daddy
Chace Crawford: Gossip Girl, House Parties & Dating Disasters (FBF)
oh how many times that's a good question probably at least two at least two because have you had those where you're like was that love or it was love in the moment but now that i've grown up maybe you like redefine it a little bit right one was pretty instantaneous and then another one was over time over time so i've kind of experienced both and i don't really subscribe to the idea that there's like one soulmate for you i think there's
Call Her Daddy
Chace Crawford: Gossip Girl, House Parties & Dating Disasters (FBF)
a handful maybe, uh, however you want to, but it's definitely once in a blue moon that you meet very rarely. You're going to meet someone that you really connect with and what you do with that, you know, is, is a timing thing. And then maybe, you know, it can, it can work out or it doesn't. Um, but we all have those things that might not have closure. You know what I mean? And that's okay.
Call Her Daddy
Chace Crawford: Gossip Girl, House Parties & Dating Disasters (FBF)
It's, you don't have to have like closure, but there's, there's open ended things. You're thinking like, maybe if I'd been more evolved or like I'd been like five, five years older and a different place in my life, there's a few times where I definitely not regret, but I'm like, Oh, I wish I'd been in a different place in my life.
Call Her Daddy
Chace Crawford: Gossip Girl, House Parties & Dating Disasters (FBF)
But sometimes, yeah, we're still like friends and cordial. It's great.
Call Her Daddy
Chace Crawford: Gossip Girl, House Parties & Dating Disasters (FBF)
Amazing. Yeah, I could have had it all like Peaky Blinders. No. But, but, but yeah, I've like been, and I'm like, God, I was such a, I was such a head case back then. Why couldn't I have like, just like not been an asshole, you know, when I was doing my own stuff, like I was just, you know, you know, whatever you want to call it, mental health stuff.
Call Her Daddy
Chace Crawford: Gossip Girl, House Parties & Dating Disasters (FBF)
It was just like, I was in a bad place and not dealing with it. You know what I mean? I was like, like just, just avoiding.
Call Her Daddy
Chace Crawford: Gossip Girl, House Parties & Dating Disasters (FBF)
Of course, exactly. Like when I moved back from New York and I was in that kind of funk, I met a girl who was like incredible and went on to be very successful.
Call Her Daddy
Chace Crawford: Gossip Girl, House Parties & Dating Disasters (FBF)
It was a bad TV show, but it was like in 2015 maybe or something like that. We're still good friends. She's great. She's a very great person. Shout out. Yeah. But we both travel. We both have to deal with the dog. I'm defending myself.
Call Her Daddy
Chace Crawford: Gossip Girl, House Parties & Dating Disasters (FBF)
It works. It can work. I'm telling you. Oh, man.
Call Her Daddy
Chace Crawford: Gossip Girl, House Parties & Dating Disasters (FBF)
she wasn't in a good space. And I just kind of let it slide. I let it kind of float away. And she was like, we'd be in town and reaching out. And we kind of had it, you know, hooked up, had a thing in New York when we were both there. And then, and then, um, Yeah. I just, I think about some of those things. Like if I had just been in a different, you can't help that though.
Call Her Daddy
Chace Crawford: Gossip Girl, House Parties & Dating Disasters (FBF)
You're, you're, you're, you get what you get and it's a timey thing and it's just life. But I do think about those kind of missed moments from time to time.
Call Her Daddy
Chace Crawford: Gossip Girl, House Parties & Dating Disasters (FBF)
No, totally. Yes.
Call Her Daddy
Chace Crawford: Gossip Girl, House Parties & Dating Disasters (FBF)
It's out there in the world. It is. No, it is. It's half my dog's face and half my face in one shot. Yeah, it's great.
Call Her Daddy
Chace Crawford: Gossip Girl, House Parties & Dating Disasters (FBF)
Right, right. I never let that happen, I guess. I drop him off sometimes. She lives close by me and whatnot.
Call Her Daddy
Chace Crawford: Gossip Girl, House Parties & Dating Disasters (FBF)
It's not a signed headshot or anything. Right, right, right. But you know, but no, things I look for, I guess for me, I do, I am like a closet reader and like kind of a nerd. I do like to be able to have like kind of, you know, in-depth conversation. Sense of humor is kind of a big one for me. And you know, and that's kind of an umbrella thing, right?
Call Her Daddy
Chace Crawford: Gossip Girl, House Parties & Dating Disasters (FBF)
That if they have that wit and you kind of have that back and forth and that weird connection, you know, where you can make each other laugh. And that's an umbrella like personality, wit, intelligence thing. It's like if that, that's kind of the number one thing, you know?
Call Her Daddy
Chace Crawford: Gossip Girl, House Parties & Dating Disasters (FBF)
I'd prefer not, actually.
Call Her Daddy
Chace Crawford: Gossip Girl, House Parties & Dating Disasters (FBF)
At this stage in my life. I get it. Right? Yeah. I mean, I think it's... That's part of the reason I was like... I saw my buddies on dates with these, like, med students and neuroscientists. I'm like, where is it? They're like, Raya. I'm like, okay. You know? So, there really are... I've seen so far. I'm like, a weekend. There are other people that do other things.
Call Her Daddy
Chace Crawford: Gossip Girl, House Parties & Dating Disasters (FBF)
And I'm, like, trying to... It's such a bubble out here. You know what I mean? So, it's... It's a lot.
Call Her Daddy
Chace Crawford: Gossip Girl, House Parties & Dating Disasters (FBF)
Yeah, probably. Yes. I would love. Yeah. I see psychotherapists on there sometimes. I'm like, there you go. Save some money. Yes. Switch therapist right now.
Call Her Daddy
Chace Crawford: Gossip Girl, House Parties & Dating Disasters (FBF)
Deal breaker. Oh, man. Yeah. Oh, bad tats? I don't know.
Call Her Daddy
Chace Crawford: Gossip Girl, House Parties & Dating Disasters (FBF)
I don't know. That's a stupid one because I really don't care about that.
Call Her Daddy
Chace Crawford: Gossip Girl, House Parties & Dating Disasters (FBF)
Oh, this girl's gone. I mean, this dog takes precedent. I think I might love that dog more than my future child. Yeah.
Call Her Daddy
Chace Crawford: Gossip Girl, House Parties & Dating Disasters (FBF)
Maybe like a neck tat is probably like a deal breaker. I don't know. You know, I guess a neck tat.
Call Her Daddy
Chace Crawford: Gossip Girl, House Parties & Dating Disasters (FBF)
I haven't. That's the thing. It's actually never happened.
Call Her Daddy
Chace Crawford: Gossip Girl, House Parties & Dating Disasters (FBF)
You know, but tattoos are so ubiquitous. But like, they're not bad. But, but, uh.
Call Her Daddy
Chace Crawford: Gossip Girl, House Parties & Dating Disasters (FBF)
Once kind of, not really, I think. So we had like plans, like holiday plans and like moving into the next phase of the relationship. And she abruptly broke up with me. And then I found out that it was like, she was, there was like an opportunity for someone like a famous person, a really famous person, like Uber. And then she thought that they were gonna date and that didn't happen.
Call Her Daddy
Chace Crawford: Gossip Girl, House Parties & Dating Disasters (FBF)
But that was the only closest thing. Yeah, to that. That sucked.
Call Her Daddy
Chace Crawford: Gossip Girl, House Parties & Dating Disasters (FBF)
But I'm perspective. It was like, I have perspective on that. So I was like, okay, whatever.
Call Her Daddy
Chace Crawford: Gossip Girl, House Parties & Dating Disasters (FBF)
Totally. No, it actually helps. It actually kind of helps.
Call Her Daddy
Chace Crawford: Gossip Girl, House Parties & Dating Disasters (FBF)
I was like, ooh, I didn't see that coming. That's a very interesting thing to know.
Call Her Daddy
Chace Crawford: Gossip Girl, House Parties & Dating Disasters (FBF)
Right, right, right. Okay.
Call Her Daddy
Chace Crawford: Gossip Girl, House Parties & Dating Disasters (FBF)
No. I have not. No, I'm actually very, I have like almost the opposite of trust. I'm almost like too trusting of people. Yeah. I'm like, just go do your own thing. I need my own space. I'm great.
Call Her Daddy
Chace Crawford: Gossip Girl, House Parties & Dating Disasters (FBF)
Girls night, go to Mexico. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Go have fun. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Call Her Daddy
Chace Crawford: Gossip Girl, House Parties & Dating Disasters (FBF)
Oh my God. I'm like, what? And then the first thing I was like, wait, what'd you, what are you talking about? Right. Like, what did you read? I really don't think I have any thing weird in there, but yeah, it was, it was a moment for sure. Yeah. Yeah.

I didn't actually. I didn't. I didn't. But I got dragged to couples therapy. No! Which I actually loved. You did? I didn't love it, but I thought it was a good... It wasn't what I thought it was going to be. I think guys are very afraid of that. I've always been open to therapy. I do it now. And I think it's like going to the gym, right? It's like you go to the gym for a certain thing.
Call Her Daddy
Chace Crawford: Gossip Girl, House Parties & Dating Disasters (FBF)
It's a very specific thing. People make it this like there's a stigma behind it. There's no stigma.
Call Her Daddy
Chace Crawford: Gossip Girl, House Parties & Dating Disasters (FBF)
And it was amazing because you weren't giving like just this cliche road advice to women. You're like, fuck it. This is how we're seeing. This is what the guys were seeing in New York or whatever.
Call Her Daddy
Chace Crawford: Gossip Girl, House Parties & Dating Disasters (FBF)
Outgoing, funny, hopefully. I like to think I can cook a little bit. But if they were being honest, I don't know. Maybe he's a bad texter. I'm being honest. I'm not that great.
Call Her Daddy
Chace Crawford: Gossip Girl, House Parties & Dating Disasters (FBF)
more aware of where he's coming from because you have a person in the room that like is so unbiased neutral moderator and it's like this time you can you can air out those things safely yeah and it's just about being a fucking adult like you learn how to be an adult like at least for me in this relationship and i was like okay and it was very nice you know when you're doing it doesn't feel like going to the dentist kind of you don't want to do it but it's you know it's like you do it and it was a really great thing yeah yeah
Call Her Daddy
Chace Crawford: Gossip Girl, House Parties & Dating Disasters (FBF)
obviously no and now obviously I'm looking at you in the same outfit every scene I'm like this is kind of interesting obviously people haven't watched it the boys this is season four season four the boys yeah coming out tell me about it it's great it's the most fun I've ever had doing anything really I mean not like you know just like work wise like the character it's comedy it's so much fun right we're making fun of like the privileged you know male asshole you know what I mean like that guy the costume's great because I never have any fittings I don't have to come in and do extra fittings so it's like one little thing
Call Her Daddy
Chace Crawford: Gossip Girl, House Parties & Dating Disasters (FBF)
Costume's a little bit of a pain in the ass, but it's okay. But it's great. Yeah, the show's awesome.
Call Her Daddy
Chace Crawford: Gossip Girl, House Parties & Dating Disasters (FBF)
I didn't even think about that until you started doing it. I'm like, I know exactly. I forgot about that. There's a story there.
Call Her Daddy
Chace Crawford: Gossip Girl, House Parties & Dating Disasters (FBF)
Which is really funny because it was great press for the show when it first came out because no one knew if the show was going to work. Amazing. But also the creator was like, never tell anyone that was never telling when the real story that was you.
Call Her Daddy
Chace Crawford: Gossip Girl, House Parties & Dating Disasters (FBF)
It was me. No, but this calendar came out right. This calendar came out of me and the character. And there was this massive rocket in the suit and they made this calendar and it was really funny and very in character, too. But no one knew it's a satire of a show. I don't know. People are seeing this like, what is this? Seth Rogen and Evan Goldberg produce it. They're amazing.
Call Her Daddy
Chace Crawford: Gossip Girl, House Parties & Dating Disasters (FBF)
And they thought it would be really funny in the Genesis. We hadn't even filmed anything. We were doing the suits. What if the Deep just had a raging erection in a third of the scenes? I thought it was brilliant. I'm like, that's great. It's hilarious. It's hilarious. So then the fittings started showing up. And they had a box. The character's name is the Deep. They had a box called Little Deeps.
Call Her Daddy
Chace Crawford: Gossip Girl, House Parties & Dating Disasters (FBF)
And it was all these different foam pieces. All different types. I'm obsessed. Settle on one. Walking around. Oh no, first we did, so that's what happened. We did a big, we did all these like screen test camera, camera shoots, photo shoots with this thing. Yes. So we hadn't actually shot. Amazon hasn't really even seen anything.
Call Her Daddy
Chace Crawford: Gossip Girl, House Parties & Dating Disasters (FBF)
My first day on set, it's like a big Toronto, big, big stage. I'm in front of like 2000 people and like come out and I'm like introducing Aaron Moriarty's character.
Call Her Daddy
Chace Crawford: Gossip Girl, House Parties & Dating Disasters (FBF)
and everyone just starts laughing because it's so funny the light you can really see this were you at all like anxious about it or you thought it was hilarious i thought it was hilarious i wasn't anxious about i kind of thought though i'm like guys we got to remove it sometimes right it can't be like in there forever it looks ridiculous it's so it's so obvious it's so funny it's so funny and so i'm like and literally they didn't amazon gave us no notes they let us do whatever the only note first that was like
Call Her Daddy
Chace Crawford: Gossip Girl, House Parties & Dating Disasters (FBF)
You got to take that thing out of Deep's pants. You got to take that thing out. So they actually spent so much money frame by frame editing out that scene just in that area for that scene in the pilot, the first episode. Everyone forgot that we did all these. So whoever thought in the PR thought it'd be funny to make a calendar out of it was genius.
Call Her Daddy
Chace Crawford: Gossip Girl, House Parties & Dating Disasters (FBF)
But the calendar came out and then people didn't know. They had no idea what's going on.
Call Her Daddy
Chace Crawford: Gossip Girl, House Parties & Dating Disasters (FBF)
Like it looks real. I mean, it looks very real. You never think it'd be like a fake.
Call Her Daddy
Chace Crawford: Gossip Girl, House Parties & Dating Disasters (FBF)
Boner calendar. I mean, you know, it was great.
Call Her Daddy
Chace Crawford: Gossip Girl, House Parties & Dating Disasters (FBF)
Loving it. Yeah. Yeah. Still loving it.
Call Her Daddy
Chace Crawford: Gossip Girl, House Parties & Dating Disasters (FBF)
It was complete opposite of Gossip Girl. It was like Christmas time. They were like, we got to cast the superheroes. And the superheroes are the bad guys for no one's watched the show. It's like the satire. Because they said they had to make the suits. Anyway, I'm like, there's no way that they're not going to bring people back in the new year. Dead Zone is December.
Call Her Daddy
Chace Crawford: Gossip Girl, House Parties & Dating Disasters (FBF)
Even Thanksgiving through December. Oh my God, do I really got to go in for this audition? I love the material. I'm like, this is amazing. Get there. It's complete opposite. I'm like very annoyed. I'm like, I'm like last. Right.
Call Her Daddy
Chace Crawford: Gossip Girl, House Parties & Dating Disasters (FBF)
It's a ton of actors in there. Well, it's just like a cow. It's like a lot of actors audition and they audition everyone, no matter who you were. But I went in there and felt really good about the audition. I felt like I had the creator laughing and the scenes were funny, kind of felt like I nailed it. And then they're like, oh, we want to test him or whatever, like the day after.
Call Her Daddy
Chace Crawford: Gossip Girl, House Parties & Dating Disasters (FBF)
And I'm like, perfect, great. So we'll go back in for like round three, four, five, like in the new year. And she's like, no, they're just going to use that tape you just did. And I was like, well, do I need to do it better? Can I make some changes?
Call Her Daddy
Chace Crawford: Gossip Girl, House Parties & Dating Disasters (FBF)
and i got nervous because i'm like they're like no they're just gonna play it in front of all the amazon sony people and i'm like that's how it works these days i'm like i have been out of the game right but but but they and that's what happened it was like very quick they kind of did the deal and they did it between me and i think some other person and then we and then they and then yeah i had the job like before christmas i was like wow this is awesome i don't have to go through like a month of like pulling my pulling my hair out right like it was one and done yeah yeah because then the longer you go the more you want the job if you like it you're like i want this thing and i'm like used to
Call Her Daddy
Chace Crawford: Gossip Girl, House Parties & Dating Disasters (FBF)
I needed to do that. Yeah. I think I still need to do it even more, but I liked it. It was a complete shake up and a complete, um, yeah, it's a kind of dark comedy does some weird stuff in the first episode, but it's like very dark and, and, and they, and they give us an opportunity to show some range. So it's like comedy and some weird like insecurity there.
Call Her Daddy
Chace Crawford: Gossip Girl, House Parties & Dating Disasters (FBF)
And like, it's good, good to show the color.
Call Her Daddy
Chace Crawford: Gossip Girl, House Parties & Dating Disasters (FBF)

Call Her Daddy
Chace Crawford: Gossip Girl, House Parties & Dating Disasters (FBF)
You know, my exes, maybe in my 20s, might say I'm bad at communicating. So that kind of ties in. But I've learned. I've learned.
Call Her Daddy
Chace Crawford: Gossip Girl, House Parties & Dating Disasters (FBF)
I'm in my late 30s now. I've gotten better. So I'm more vulnerable. Yeah.
Call Her Daddy
Chace Crawford: Gossip Girl, House Parties & Dating Disasters (FBF)
Oh, that's a good question. Usually, what did I do last weekend? My buddy, this next Saturday, he does these big lunches at Jolina in Venice.
Call Her Daddy
Chace Crawford: Gossip Girl, House Parties & Dating Disasters (FBF)
And I lived in New York, obviously. So but but yeah, but you guys are like, this is how we're seeing it. This is the real stuff we're going to give give out. This is how you play it. This is our advice. This is what works for us. And I thought it was the best thing. I laughed. I thought it was amazing. I would listen to like full, full, like full podcast.
Call Her Daddy
Chace Crawford: Gossip Girl, House Parties & Dating Disasters (FBF)
We all bring a bottle of wine, but it's like six hours. And he prefaced it with that, and I was like, I don't know if I'm going to make it six hours.
Call Her Daddy
Chace Crawford: Gossip Girl, House Parties & Dating Disasters (FBF)
And it went by like that. So we do these little lunches with random different people. He's kind of in the food industry as a chef, so we kind of have these interesting...
Call Her Daddy
Chace Crawford: Gossip Girl, House Parties & Dating Disasters (FBF)
No, no. It depends. I'm not like DiCaprio level where it's like this. I kind of have a nice pocket where it's fun to get recognized for the Gossip Girl thing still. Yeah, yeah, yeah. For sure. Which has still been this three different waves of Netflix. I don't know how it keeps coming around. But it's the same age, you know.
Call Her Daddy
Chace Crawford: Gossip Girl, House Parties & Dating Disasters (FBF)
I mean, when you're young in your 20s, it's like you try everything so precious. I want to be like Marlon Brando. I was so annoyed by Gossip Girl. Right. And like even the name, I hate it. Dude, it's great. It's the greatest thing. It's amazing. It's this weird cultural thing of the zeitgeist of that time to pre-Instagram, pre-all these things. The first iPhone had just come out.
Call Her Daddy
Chace Crawford: Gossip Girl, House Parties & Dating Disasters (FBF)
It was such a weird, amazing time in New York. It's fucking amazing. When were you in New York?
Call Her Daddy
Chace Crawford: Gossip Girl, House Parties & Dating Disasters (FBF)
I was entertained by the whole thing. Yeah, I'm OG. I love your new stuff. I love all the stuff.
Call Her Daddy
Chace Crawford: Gossip Girl, House Parties & Dating Disasters (FBF)
And they'll treat me like it's kind of nice because everyone is like way too cool for school. Yes. They don't give a shit about anything at all. I don't even look at me. I get the thing. I'm like, OK, listen, I mean, get Lakers tickets to save my life. Everyone wants it. But the Knicks, they would always give me Knicks tickets and Rangers, baby. So, yeah. That was it.
Call Her Daddy
Chace Crawford: Gossip Girl, House Parties & Dating Disasters (FBF)
Shout out to them.
Call Her Daddy
Chace Crawford: Gossip Girl, House Parties & Dating Disasters (FBF)
You're right. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.
Call Her Daddy
Chace Crawford: Gossip Girl, House Parties & Dating Disasters (FBF)
It was interesting. I was born in Lubbock, small town, Texas. Not much going on out there. I kind of woke up. I was in Oklahoma City. First memories. So random. Parents are from there. Dad's from there. My parents met there at a small, very small, like religious college there. So Oklahoma City, very endless. My parents had me when they were like 20 and 21.
Call Her Daddy
Chace Crawford: Gossip Girl, House Parties & Dating Disasters (FBF)
So that's, you know, a very, very southern thing. Yeah. I mean, they were still growing up as we were. I can't imagine having like a 15 year old right now. So so they were young. My dad was in med school. Uh, what, what happened? We moved to Minnesota for four years for his med school. And then we moved back to Texas.
Call Her Daddy
Chace Crawford: Gossip Girl, House Parties & Dating Disasters (FBF)
Uh, when I was like nine or 10 years old in Dallas, I'm from Dallas, like North, North Dallas, a little bit suburbia, a little bit out there in the sticks, but more suburbia, you know? Yeah.
Call Her Daddy
Chace Crawford: Gossip Girl, House Parties & Dating Disasters (FBF)
Yeah, yeah, basically, yeah. Were you? Oh, my God.
Call Her Daddy
Chace Crawford: Gossip Girl, House Parties & Dating Disasters (FBF)
Yeah, yeah, yeah. Exactly. Exactly.
Call Her Daddy
Chace Crawford: Gossip Girl, House Parties & Dating Disasters (FBF)
I was an artistic kid, actually. I was always drawing and stuff. I never wanted to be an actor. I had no idea about acting or any of it. I know. It's like that shitty story that no one wants to hear. No, that's good.
Call Her Daddy
Chace Crawford: Gossip Girl, House Parties & Dating Disasters (FBF)
Yeah, yeah. I was very naive about the acting thing. I just... Yeah. When there was like this like this like secular world. Right. That's like, you know, even I was sort of a bit policed on what music I was listening to and, you know, all these other things. It kind of makes you feel just claustrophobic in a way.
Call Her Daddy
Chace Crawford: Gossip Girl, House Parties & Dating Disasters (FBF)
I remember like always really wanting to just travel or just get out of the bubble and meet new people and go out and do that. But I was a pretty good drawer and like charcoal and like a little bit of painting when I was like, yeah.
