Chace Crawford is the Summer's Hottest 'Not Gay' Bachelor
After People declares Chace Crawford the "summer's hottest bachelor," Crawford tells the magazine about the stereotypically straight activities he and Ed Westwick took part in when they found out about the gay rumors that were totally being made up about them:
"On the made-up gay rumors about him and co-star Ed Westwick: 'You know what we really did the first time we heard it? Ed goes, 'Oh, did you hear that rumor about us being gay?' I was like, 'Yeah, man.' He starts laughing and we're kind of like, 'Okay, you want to go play pool and have a beer?''"

Oh Jesus, weak.
"You want to go play pool and have a beer? Huh, huh, buddy, pal' o my heart? You wanna stroll around with a gun and maybe shoot something, huh, huh?
Or do you want to go to Barney's, there's a sale on at Paul Smith and I noticed a divine little two piece I'm simply mad about!

Right .... of course he is not disputing the possibility they are bi .... and play pool and drink beer .... please that wont make up for your "super gay" fashion spread in GQ.
Playing to and against stereotypes is pathetic Ed.

It's like... "how could we be gay if we like pool and beer?" Give me a break!

I play pool and drink beer. damn, I've been straight all this time and didn't know it. Now how am I going to explain this to my husband...

Did anyone else notice what he said was he said about a perfect date?
On a perfect date: "All you need is a pool table, beer, an electric jukebox and good conversation"...
Ha. Too clever by half.

I shoot pool and guzzle beer and I'm as gay as a box of birds. Another asshole rears its Hollywood head.

the guys of gossip girl are not all that hot and they are getting even more annoying. they are not special and they need to realize that, quick.

Beer and pool as "cannot be gay"? Back in the day--and you really have to be of a certain age, as in thinking of retirement to remember this-- there was a bar on Christopher St. NYC. It had a pool table and big plate glass windows and a jukebox, and it was filled with young men who, I can assure you, were not lost hetero tourists. These guys should stick to performing--I hesitate to call it acting; Larry Olivier they are not.

Oh lighten up guys. I didn't find that offensive at all.

I think his point was that he's not bothered by the rumors...not that shooting pool and having a beer proves he's not gay.
Posted by: MrAiredale | Jun 17, 2009 1:13:09 PM
I agree, Mr. Airedaile. It's impossible to know the context without a follow-up comment from him, but there is nothing offensive about what he said. He may have just meant that they didn't care about rumors. For example, he could as easily have said, "Did you hear the rumors that we're gay?" "Yup, I saw that. You ready to go have lunch?"

These "interviews" are scripted by publicists.
Posted by: anon | Jun 17, 2009 1:43:07 PM
This could be read two ways. 1.) "hypermasculine behavior means we're obviously not gay"- beer drinking pool playing gay men across the world will inform you otherwise. Hopefully, this Crawford guy means 2.) "We really didn't care and went about our normal routine, which is shooting pool and having a beer."
I doubt he's forward thinking enough to be blase about it, but it would have been cool.

Again, you have to ask who frigging sits there and comes up with this garbage? It's gotta be some suited pathetic publicist, desperately searching for stereotypes to latch onto to "ungay" his/her client. Next you know there'll be gay engineers, sportsmen and oil riggers! Perhaps even gay....soldiers. But SSSSHHH! DADT!
Posted by: EM | Jun 17, 2009 3:26:24 PM
Yeah, I interpreted his comment as a statement as 'who cares'! He remarks about "shooting pool and drinking beer" as a dumb stereotype! I think he's actually commenting on how dumb the rumors are.
Posted by: Jim | Jun 17, 2009 11:56:20 PM
I don't care about his comments, as long as I get to see the tape of him and Ed Westwick doing it on the pool table.
More seriously, I think he was joking when he said "shoot pool and have a beer". He probably was mocking a normal celeb's reaction, which is to hire the nearest beard and be as blatantly heterosexual as possible.

thankfully they were smart enough not to admit they went to Bloomingdale's and a Broadway musical - my goodness pool & beer, how butch - maybe they're lesbians.

I love how some gays get pissed when a straight pseudo-scientist says, "I can prove a person is gay with their finger length!"
Yet here, a guy says a few things and gets a couple of photo shoots per Hollywood standards and suddenly, we all KNOW he is gay without really thinking how stupid we are for assuming it without the facts.
