Ed intervjuv i fransk tidning

Vet inte vilken tidning men Ed blev intervjuva när han var i Frankrike för att spela in Gossip girl! :)
Det innehåller rätt så många spoiler i texten så att ni vet :)


Jag är inte den som har översatt denhär texten all cred går till denhär sidan


Ed Westwick was in Paris in July to shoot the two first episode of season 4 of Gossip Girl. First revelations. Warning: Spoilers !!!

Allociné: What can you tell us about these episodes filmed in Paris?

Ed Westwick: We shoot the first two episodes of season 4. Chuck survived the shooting occurred at the end of season 3, saved by a girl named Eva. He lives a new life in Paris, a life he wants, away from complexities and troubles he has lived before, lies and schemes… Chuck is in search of purity. This change between these two lifestyle is worth exploring, for example, his clothes have completely changed. Today, he’s a very simple guy, with jeans and a t-shirt working in a cafe !

Basically, does he lives the life he was deeply searching for?

I don’t know. But it’s the life in which he feels better now. After all what happened, after losing faith in everything he believed, he believes in change, in this simple and pure lifestyle.

What can you tell us Eva?

Eva is played by Clemence Poesy. She saves Chuck and they move on to Paris together. She’s the opposite of Blair. At least, that’s how we can see it. She’s simple and loves Chuck for who he really is.

Does she know who is really Chuck?

No. She thinks she knows but … there is something very strong between them. Her uncle owns the cafe where Chuck works. Eva represents everything he wants at this point of his life. Someone simple, safe, a different pace …

Where is the cafe where Chuck works?

I couldn’t say exactly, but I can tell you the name: “Le Baron Rouge’ ["The Red Baron"] (Ed.: Rue Théophile Roussel, in the 12th arrondissement of Paris).

“Gossip Girl” has real locations in Paris, like the ones in New York. Is it a chance, an advantage for the show and the actors?

Yes, we are indeed very lucky ! We have the chance to shoot in a beautiful city in the U.S. … and now in France ! Of course, I see Paris as a natural extension of Gossip Girl universe. We also regularly refers to it in the show, Blair’s father is even supposed to live there ! It’s wonderful now to shoot in Paris, it really adds something to the show.

Chuck lives the dream life here in Paris. But Blair is also here …

And this is the problem ! The presence of Blair reminds him we can’t escape from who we really are. In the end, Chuck realizes he must return and face his demons in order to advance in life.

It is a real curse …

Probably. But for him it’s mostly a reminder of what it means to be an adult. A man can’t run away, he have to assume his responsibilities. In life, “run away” doesn’t mean”improve”.

Chuck became an adult long before his mates in “Gossip Girl” …

I don’t think he’s really an “adult”. We can put on “adult” clothes but that doesn’t mean they’ll fit. Mostly, they are simply too large. This season will be particularly interesting from this point of view, especially after what happened and what we tried to put in place in these first two episodes. Chuck is facing a crucial issue. He has the opportunity to evolve. Will he get his chance or will he miss this opportunity and return to what he was before?

Speaking of “critical issue”, here’s another: Do you think Blair and Chuck will be back together someday?

There is a chemistry between them, a magnetic attraction. One might therefore conclude that yes, they are likely to reunite. We’ll see … But, like in life, it’s sometimes better to let it go, evolve, move on.

On another note, what happened with the England team at this World Cup Soccer (note: this interview was conducted before the end of the World Cup)?

I don’t know. Our team just was worth nothing (note: the England team was eliminated from the Eighth-Finals). There are many ways to explain that. Do our players play too many matches during the regular season with their clubs ? Is our championship let enough room for our young players, knowing that clubs are not forced  to take a single English player in their team, unlike for example France, where a club has to bring at least six French players ? Are there too many overpaid divas in our national team? I keep in mind what Özil, the German player, responded to Wayne Rooney’s statement saying he was bored by England team: “If you’re bored in the middle of the biggest competition in the world, you don’t belong there “Besides Rooney was really bad at this World Cup! OK, he’s good, but certainly not like Messi or Cristiano Ronaldo.

A prediction for the finale ?

Spain will win. 2-1 against the Netherlands.

A few quick questions now. The last book you read?

“Letters to a Young Poet” by Rainer Maria Rilke.

The latest DVD?

I just saw Memento again.

First Movie you saw

Probably Bambi (laughs)!

The song you listen to when you’re sad?

I listen “The Black Keys” at this time. Their songs can be both light and dark.

What about your band exactly?

It’s been a while since we played together. I play a little here and there with friends, but unfortunately I don’t have much time to devote to music.

You write songs for your band. What is your favorite song?

It is called “Le soleil”.

The greatest soccer player of all time?

Probably Zidane.

Do you remember the particular moment you decided to become an actor?

I don’t remember the particular moment but I know it started when I was young and played in small plays. The atmosphere, emotions it provoked in me … everything was perfect.

You remember your first role?

I did some plays but the first real role was Lysander in a children’s version of “A Midsummer Night’s Dream” by William Shakespeare.

What can you tell us the movie “Chalet Girl,” in which you play ?

It’s an english romantic comedy I did in March. With Bill Nighy and Brooke Shields, great actors, great people … it will be a “feel good movie” ideal for Christmas! I really enjoyed playing in it.
