"I don't go to a bar looking for a blonde. although I have friends who do that. It's not about physicality, it's about how a person carries herself."
Hair apparent : As Gossip Girl's Nate Archibald, Crawford personifies prep-school hot with those chiseled cheekbones and cerulean eyes peeking out from under side-swept bangs. A real-life good guy with a pretty-boy face, he's the Andrew McCarthy for the new teen set.
French connection : For Crawford, sexy goes way beyond looks and can be found anywhere from a Kings of Leon bass line to the City of Light. "There's something about walking the streets of Paris," he says. "The people, the language, the late-night dinner."
All in day's work : "It's fun." Leighton Meester has said of the on-camera kisses she shares with Crawford on the Gossip Girl set. "He's sooo cute, so it's definitely not hard!"
