Personal life

Ed Westwick, whose personal life is under the constant attention of newsmen, is surprised at such popularity. Among journalists there is an opinion that Westwick is an interesting object for hot reports, although so far he has not given the slightest reason for the sensation. On the set of the series "Gossip Girl" Ed met Jessica Zor, and for a while they met. Then the relationship became closer, young people almost never parted. This continued until the spring of 2010, and in May the alliance of Jessica and Ed broke up. "Too much headache from these girls ...", said the actor when asked about the reasons for the rupture. However, it took only three months, and they met again ... on the set of the fourth season of the series "Gossip Girl".

Fortunately, the personal relationships of the actors never go into the professional plane, all emotions, feelings and passions remain outside the set. This is a kind of code actor, and even more so - a movie star with a name. It is characteristic that close relations are tied, as a rule, on the set, but the rupture of these relations is always outside the pavilion. And it's not fear of getting into the frame, it's rather the ethics of film production, its specificity.

Ed's personal life consists not only of meeting with actresses. He is fanatically in love with pop music and is a soloist of his own band in the quartet format of solo guitar, slide guitar, bass guitar and percussion. Nevertheless, cinematography is the main thing in the life of Westwick, and he can not always be in England with his musicians, most of the time he has to spend in Hollywood or in New York. Therefore, the actor is thinking about how to create another one group in Los Angeles. Ed Westwick is one of the few musicians in the history of English rock, who does not seek to put his musical achievements on a commercial basis. For all time of existence of the group not a single album has been released. Musicians do not even think about financial issues, they do not have a director. The issue of touring is also not considered, although the level of preparation of all participants is quite high, and the repertoire is super-modern.
