Ed Westwick stars as Chuck, the overly confident, sexy, and trouble-making bad boy who never met a scarf he didn't like.
2
Ed was recently seen in two high-profile features, Children of Men and Breaking and Entering.
3
Please welcome Ed Westwick.
4
Leighton Meester is Blair Waldorf, Serena's BFF and competitor.
5
After making her television debut when she was 13 on Law & Order, she got her breakout role as singer Justine Chapin Chapin on the show.
6
on HBO's Entourage, please welcome Leighton Meester.
7
So for the cast, did you guys, I mean, did you all, was this like a big pilot that you had heard about?
8
Like, was this something that you guys were all like, Gossip Girl, gotta get that, gotta get that, gotta get that.
9
Or was this, I mean, what did you think?
10
What was the initial, like, grab of the show?
11
I first heard about it by reading about it.
12
Actually, my agent and my manager told me about it, like, maybe a couple weeks in advance and then I read it and loved it and that's how all that started.
13
Did you immediately think like, I'm Blair, I'm totally Blair?
14
Well, you know what?
15
I...
16
The funny thing is I say like, yes, I was, I, it was meant to be, but I think that once something happens, that's when it's meant to be.
17
But by the time I got it, I was like, it was destined to be from the beginning, so.
18
Except you were blonde at the time.
19
I was.
20
I had blonde wear.
21
That was like, I mean, Blair's, she's the brunette.
22
She is, that's a big part of it.
23
She's the complicated one.
24
She's a complicated one.
25
She's a brunette.
26
And the network, which has been amazing and supportive of the show, were like, she's great but she's blonde.
27
And we're like, she could also be brunette.
28
And dyed your hair during the audition process.
29
Yeah.
30
I tried to show up in a wig one day.
31
They're like, no, no, no, no, no. It doesn't work.
32
Can you actually do it?
33
And I was like, I didn't get it yet, but I guess I could do it.
34
And then I've not gone back.
35
If you ask a young actress during the middle, a young blonde actress in the middle of pilot season to dye her hair brown, you better be pretty damn sure you can get her the role.
36
Yeah.
37
Were you looking to do a TV series or?
38
No, I wasn't at all.
39
I knew that that was the last thing in the world I wanted to do.
40
But also before I started acting, I knew that that was the last thing in the world I wanted to do.
41
And then I did Sisterhood and I was like, this is fantastic, I love it.
42
And then I sat down and met with Josh and Stephanie
43
and it's a big commitment signing signing away six years of your life to one character, one cast, one job.
44
But they were just so passionate about everything from the set to the other actors to the wardrobe to every storyline.
45
And it was just so great because you take
46
so many meetings with big studio executives or you hear about people that just sign their name off on a project.
47
They just stamp it and that's it and they're not involved.
48
But to meet people who are executive producers and creators
49
that were so involved and we're so excited to be doing what they were doing.
50
It was just, it excited me and made me really want to be a part of it.
51
But you made us promise that in no season would your character ever be locked in a cage.
52
It was that, locked in a cage brainwashed by an old lady addicted to cop's rope with rattlesnakes.
53
What the hell show was your sister on?
54
Was she on some kind of snuff film show?
55
It was WB and Savannah.
56
Oh, Savannah.
57
Oh, I love it.
58
We all remember Savannah.
59
There was another promise was no pet monkey.
60
Chuck has a matching pet monkey with coordinating outfits.
61
And I was like, I would love to be part of the show, but I can't act with a monkey.
62
And then I got a few of them.
63
Ooh!
64
I was teasing.
65
She's teasing.
66
She got a few of them.
67
Come on.
68
It was a joke.
69
Lord have mercy.
70
That was a lot of information about cages.
71
And I'm sorry, I was thrown off by that stuff.
72
He was like wow.
73
Who else didn't want to act in a cage?
74
Well someone started.
75
I'm requiring a cage.
76
Wait did you, for the guys though, did any of you guys audition for any of the roles that you didn't end up getting?
77
Oh, Ed what did you?
78
I was supposed to win up for this young man's part.
79
Didn't work out.
80
What?
81
I don't know why.
82
I don't know why.
83
That would have been...
84
That was that exactly...
85
Ed came in and read for Nate, and we're like, this guy is super compelling.
86
I was also blonde with that one.
87
I mean, I was up for Serena, for one.
88
Weird.
89
And you were both blonde.
90
I feel like I'm on the first thing, right?
91
Wasn't that?
92
Alright, so you guys are filming now in New York City, which, I mean, I don't, you know, you're like, I don't know, for people that live in LA,
93
New York fans, I'd say, are very vocal.
94
I've walked by this set a number of times and heckled you all.
95
What's it like filming on the streets?
96
Are people like, Serena Blair?
97
Do they yell at you guys? Do they...
98
Sometimes.
99
But we love them.
100
They're all like, obviously.
101
They are the girls who we're portraying in the show.
102
We shoot in the Upper East Side and there's these girls in their uniforms and their Hermes bags coming up and they're,
103
you know, they're huge fans of the show and I feel like we're doing something great.
104
What?
105
Someone's me.
106
Sorry.
107
I need to learn to let it go.
108
Sorry.
109
I was, well it was charming.
110
I'm practicing.
111
I thought it was charming.
112
Speaking of people that aren't always liked by the fans, um, Ed, where, um, What did I do?
113
Yeah.
114
I mean Chuck Chuck Chuck is a polarizing fellow I'd say
115
But my question the first question I have about Chuck is where did the scarves thing come from is that your own?
116
That would be a question for Eric Damon.
117
Oh, that's a book.
118
Oh, actually we were Shooting at the Palace Hotel the other day last week, and there was a guy outside who had a scarf.
119
Yeah, I thought it was fantastic Gonna go and get mine out the trailer put it on Walk around things together,
120
you know Alright, fine, fine I understood the word scarf.
121
Not that.
122
Going with the check of jackets that I, you know, trying to mix it up.
123
So, Chase, I'm gonna move on to you.
124
Nate seems like the most unhappy person on the show, I feel like.
125
He's sort of like, I think he's more brooding than like Dylan McKay or like James D.
126
He makes those people look happy.
127
It's all the pot, man.
128
I mean, God.
129
What do you think it's going to take for, why is it that he's so unhappy?
130
Is he just that he hates this world?
131
That he hates himself?
132
Let's go inside who Nate is.
133
His best friend's May.
134
Yeah.
135
Why?
136
He's, um, yeah Nate's so dark, isn't he?
137
No, I think the whole family thing with your dad doing blow and all, I don't know, maybe that has something to do with it.
138
Yeah, he's conflicted.
139
What can I say?
140
I don't know what to say.
141
But yeah, I think that he's gonna have opportunities to come out of his shell more
142
and sort of see his side to Nate that's so pot smoking.
143
Well, it seems like Taylor, Jenny seems to kind of be honing in on Nate a bit.
144
I feel like she's a little...
145
That's a lot of time.
146
It's not happening.
147
It's not happening.
148
I've already talked to Dan about this.
149
You could get happier, though.
150
I mean, it could be...
151
I talked to Rufus.
152
He's not...
153
Age difference, man.
154
I don't know.
155
I think she's more like a little sister to him.
156
Oh, okay.
157
Possibly.
158
But I don't think she sees you as an older brother.
159
I think she sees you as like an older brother that's not related to her who she wants to date.
160
Layton so you in the finale clearly you Blair kind of lost her power
161
and everything is it is it less fun to play Blair kind of weak
162
and less like bitchy or is she gonna be is she gonna be less bitchy
163
because well she's not weak I guess but will she be less bitchy now
164
that she's not like Queen B I would not like
165
that I what's the question is it more will see me
166
is it well actually Do you like playing her as the queen bee villain?
167
Or do you like this kind of like one?
168
I like a little both.
169
I like a little both.
170
I think that she kind of lost her footing a little bit
171
because she let all these things kind of get the best of her in the beginning of the series.
172
And now she's been dethroned by somebody who she deemed beneath her.
173
So she's kind of got a dose of reality.
174
But I mean, I really like seeing the human in her
175
and playing that so that not everybody hates me in real life.
176
But I mean, it's really fun.
177
And I mean, I would like to say a challenge to be bitchy, but not too much.
178
When you first read that Blair and Chuck were going to get together, what was your initial reaction?
179
I mean, were you like?
180
Yes.
181
That's perfect.
182
They're perfect for each other.
183
He understands her like nobody else does.
184
Yeah.
185
There was no trepidation?
186
You weren't like, oh, this is going to be good.
187
The fans won't like this.
188
Oh, for the show, yeah.
189
In real life.
190
Wait, so what did you think about that twist?
191
Two thumbs up.
192
I'm going to look at her.
193
Come on.
194
No, I thought it was a.
195
Oh, Lord.
196
Come on.
197
Be serious, yeah.
198
I thought it was a very interesting turn.
199
I think a lot of people wanted to see them together because they're so much alike in certain ways.
200
But I don't know, I just think opposites attract.
201
And when two people are the same, it could be fire with fire, and that's what kind of happened in the end.
202
But never say never.
203
Who knows where it will go.
204
Maybe we'll come full circle again.
205
Well, now you're living with Serena, so joining rooms.
206
When is the filthy youth performing in Los Angeles and when coming by the city?
207
We're not performing in New York next Saturday, so jump on the plane.
208
I don't know.
209
I don't know, I'm sorry.
210
Keep looking on the MySpace. Who knows?
211
Well explain, that's your band.
212
Explain to people that don't know.
213
We call it a band, yeah.
214
And what do you play?
215
Four filthy, five, five, there's five.
216
Five filthy Englishmen.
217
That's about it.
218
Yes, it's a band.
219
We play music.
220
That we featured on our show.
221
Two songs.
222
Ed's the lead singer.
223
He often plays shirtless.
224
From a record company.
225
And they're playing next Saturday.
226
I'm playing Saturday, as I just said, at the Annex.
227
March 29th.
228
New York, if anyone's there, calm down.
229
Where are you playing next Saturday?
230
We're playing at the Annex in New York.
231
I know very little about it.
232
What time?
233
My band members are arriving on Thursday.
234
I haven't played in two months.
235
And, yeah, we're going to try and put on a show.
236
Probably be a shambles.
237
You are selling this.
238
I'm a shy type of guy.
239
This is a really important question, mostly for Layton and Blake,
240
but do you guys get to keep your wardrobe? That is important.
241
Very good.
242
It's very important.
243
This is wardrobe.
244
This is wardrobe.
245
This was on the return rack.
246
I think it was hers.
247
So I had to go and slip them cash to wear it today.
248
No, some of it, if the designers lend it to us, the designers will sometimes say they can take it home.
249
but then sometimes we have to slip in our purse.
250
No, I'm teasing.
251
I do.
252
The problem is I have a shopping problem.
253
So I won't buy it after I first try it on at the wardrobe fitting, and then I'll think about it for a few weeks and obsess over it, and then the episode will air, and I'll have to go online to buy it,
254
and it will be sold out everywhere in all stores online because the CW website lists all of our outfits,
255
and I'll see these girls on the Upper East Side wearing my doggone sweater, and it makes me so mad.
256
But I've had to send a few things over from, like, Europe.
257
So I have a bit of a problem.
258
But a lot of the stuff is, like, one-of-a-kind, on-loan designer stuff that's, like, only runway.
259
So we get to borrow stuff and send it back.
260
But I always say, like, I love the stuff that we wear, but a lot of the time we don't even get to show it as much.
261
Like, we wear fabulous shoes.
262
Yeah.
263
Fabulous.
264
And you'll see them for, like, a second.
265
So we get our shoes sometimes.
266
Should we be lifting legs then?
267
Yeah.
268
Like in the background, like hold them.
269
But a lot of things they make, too, which is cool.
270
Like my bathing suit was a mixture of like three different bathing suits and a belt from a dress.
271
And then they had to take it apart because one part was a bikini and another was a one-piece.
272
And then they had to take it apart and send each piece back to the designer, which was sad.
273
So the things that they make, we don't get to keep.
274
All right.
275
Oh, go ahead.
276
My question is actually for Josh and Stephanie.
277
In the OC, Summer started out as kind of the bitchier character.
278
She kind of calmed down a little bit.
279
No offense to the lovely Layton here, but Blair is kind of the bitchier character.
280
Something in common I see is a brunette hair color.
281
Is there a reason for that?
282
With the hand on the hip, I think we'll be casting you next.
283
I'm just saying.
284
Whoa, whoa.
285
Well, the whole sort of design of the show was that when you come into the pilot, Serena is sort of like the heroine, I guess, and Blair seems like she's the villain.
286
But in the books and also our plan in the series was
287
that some episodes you'd be sympathizing with Blair and hating Serena
288
and vice versa and that occasionally they'd pass each other on the sympathy flow chart.
289
And so I think they're both supposed to be flawed characters who have both good
290
and bad attributes and I think depending on episode to episode you feel differently about each character.
291
Female Presenter 1- Agreed.
292
I think it makes more sense when you're watching a show
293
that there's not an obvious choice between good and evil
294
so she would seem like the obvious choice but she's also got flaws as well.
295
I think I'm just brunette because of the books.
296
Female Presenter 1- Everyone knows blondes are nicer anyway.
297
Oh, over there.

Cos'è la tecnica dello Shadowing?
Shadowing è una tecnica di apprendimento delle lingue supportata da studi scientifici, originariamente sviluppata per la formazione dei traduttori professionisti e resa popolare dal poliglotta Dr. Alexander Arguelles. Il metodo è semplice ma potente: ascolti un audio in inglese di madrelingua e lo ripeti immediatamente ad alta voce — come un'ombra che segue il parlante con un ritardo di solo 1–2 secondi. A differenza dell'ascolto passivo o degli esercizi di grammatica, lo shadowing costringe il tuo cervello e i muscoli della bocca a elaborare e riprodurre simultaneamente i modelli di discorso reale. La ricerca dimostra che migliora significativamente la precisione della pronuncia, l'intonazione, il ritmo, il discorso connesso, la comprensione dell'ascolto e la fluidità del parlato — rendendolo uno dei metodi più efficaci per la preparazione alla prova di speaking dell'IELTS e per la comunicazione reale in inglese.
