Gossip Girl heart throb Ed Westwick turns 24 on this 27th day of June.

The actor, who hails from Stevenage, Hertfordshire, England, has been a fan favorite of ours since the day Gossip Girl premiered on the CW. He brings so much to his alter ego, Chuck Bass, who has become one of TV's most compelling characters.

We can't wait to see what Ed has in store for us come September.

Happy birthday, Ed!
