In some ways, he’s a lot like Nate Archibald—a young, rich, extremely good-looking guy living in New York. And soon he’ll be tossing his flawless man-bangs about in the upcoming Footloose remake. The Texas-bred pretty boy is well on the path to American teen idolhood.
CHRISTOPHER BOLLEN: Dallas. Oh, man. Are you really close to your parents?
CHACE CRAWFORD: Yes, superclose. They were really young when they had me. You know, it’s a southern thing. They had me when they were like 21 or 22. My dad was going through med school while my mom was pregnant with my sister. So they’re still young now. I talk to my dad at least every other day. They’ve still got a little hipness left in them. I took my mom out last night. She said, “I want to know what all of the fuss is about.”
BOLLEN: Where did you take her?
CRAWFORD: Well, one of my buddies runs Butter, so he said, “Take her down here. Take her to a nice meal.” I hadn’t been there in ages, but she knew it because it’s been on our show. She was like, “Oh, show me one of those little Gossip Girl places!” I’m like, “All right, if we must.” I also took her out to some local bars that we normally go to.
