Christopher Chace Crawford, better known as Chace Crawford, or as Nate Archibald on Gossip Girl, celebrates his birthday today. His 26th, to be exact.

Happy birthday, man (and man-bangs)!

We're looking forward to seeing what (or who) Nate will do when Gossip Girl begins its fifth season in September. Five seasons. Has it been that long?

Time flies when you're having fun, which we clearly have been covering his career and the rest of his castmates'. Talk about a lot of fond memories!

Here's to Chace, and hopefully many more seasons of Gossip Girl!
