Gossip Girl producers ‘furious over Ed Westwick weight gain’
Monday, April 20th, 2009
The producers of hit TV show Gossip Girl are said to be furious at star Ed Westwick for gaining weight.
The actor, who plays heartthrob Chuck Bass, has reportedly piled on so many pounds in recent months that the wardrobe department has even had to buy new clothes to fit his expanding waistline, it has been claimed.
A source said: "Ed has been gaining a lot of weight – not just around the waist, but through the whole body. It even shows in his face."
An insider told a US magazine: "First, the costume department had to buy him new, bigger pants [trousers]. Then, his shirts and jackets got way too snug. The costumers even requested that the producers talk to Ed – they don’t want Chuck to be fat."
A representative for the English-born actor, 21, was unavailable for comment.
