Sebastian Stan Discusses Gossip Girl Co-Stars Amid Legal Drama

Sebastian Stan, known for his role as Carter Baizen on Gossip Girl, recently shared that he remains in close contact only with former co-stars Chace Crawford and, to a lesser extent, Penn Badgley, having largely lost touch with others like Blake Lively and Leighton Meester. Stan mentioned he and Crawford were friends even before Gossip Girl, which helped maintain their bond. While he once dated Leighton Meester and described her as his first love, he did not indicate ongoing communication with her. Stan also discussed the physical demands of reprising his Marvel role as Bucky Barnes in the upcoming Thunderbolts film, noting the challenges of learning stunts quickly as he gets older but expressing gratitude for the opportunity to continue the role. Meanwhile, Blake Lively, another Gossip Girl alum, has attracted attention due to her ongoing legal disputes and a recent red carpet appearance marked by a wardrobe malfunction. Despite these developments, Stan’s focus remains on his current projects and enduring friendships with select castmates.
