who is chace crawford

On Saturday night, a bunch of us headed out to an uptown bar for a birthday celebration. We knew the bouncer, so while we were waiting for everyone to congregate, we stood outside and chatted. That’s when I saw him. On the edge of the patio, white shirt, thin black necktie. Very emotional hair.

“Dudes,” I said, turning quickly around. “That’s Chace Crawford right there.”

“Who’s Chace Crawford?” Among my friends, this question was universal. Yes, who is Chace Crawford?

“You know, the one who’s not Zac Ephron! Heartthrob of the teeny boppers! Gossip Girl, blah blah.”

Blank looks all around. I watch two television shows TOTAL and I knew who he was. Good grief, I thought, these people need to get a little more People Mag in their lives. I yanked out my phone and googled.

“This. This is Chace Crawford.”

“Yeah, that’s totally the same guy. But I still have no idea who he is.”

“His sister dates Romo.”

And that’s when the lights came on. The boys all nodded and a general murmur of recognition went ’round the group.

“Why didn’t you just say that in the first place? She’s hot.”

Mmm hmmm.

    So I was completely jealous when I read your tweet that night and had to stop myself from starting a search party uptown to find him. It was a close call.

  • I saw Chase in a bar in New York about a month ago. He made it near impossible to drink, talk or generally be normal. SO hot!

    I still have no idea, but then I’m old. Other than that, it’s not surprising that guys might know who another guy is because of his girlfriend. (shakes head). :) Sort of like six ways to bacon, only … not.

    Thank you, God! Another bright, personable lady who watches GG! Totally underappreciated show. I wanna see Ed Westwick.

    I remember him from the Long Lost Son…Stunning look of his blue eyes….

  • And see, I didn’t know his sister is Romo’s girlfriend.

    Dude, he’s hot! (CC)

  • Who? Oh maaaaaaaan! 33 is too young for me to be out of touch with cool already.

  • I have the same problem, in reverse. “Who’s that?” “Ashlee Simpson.” “Who?” “Her sister used to date Tony Romo.” “Oh, her.”

    Had a similar convo at lunch today with a bunch of younger guys. They didn’t know who Bryan Austin Green was, but they googled him to find out b/c he is dating Meagan Fox. I’m like, “hello? 90210?” And I got blank stares. And then the question, “the new one or the old one.” Ugh, I feel old.

    Wow, a star was raised in Plano? Ya gotta be kidding, but that’s what wikipedia says. I would have no clue if I had been there. But he’s a sweet young thing very cute.
