Dan Humphrey Latest Celebrity News & Gossip

Nearly a decade since Gossip Girl ended, stars Chace Crawford and Penn Badgley took a walk down memory lane for Variety‘s Actors on Actors series. While Penn’s character, Dan Humphrey, was a blogger who spent a lot of time online (wink wink), Penn, 33, was totally against technology.

Look, I get the confusion. Penn Badgley, who plays Joe, is a hot guy. You probably know him best as Dan Humphrey from Gossip Girl, so his face is already nostalgia-inducing and probably makes you feel all warm inside. And he's not any less hot in this show than he was in that one. If anything he's gotten better with age.
