Do you prefer working on TV or movies?
I enjoy both… both are very different, TV moves a lot quicker. Film, you get a lot more time to spend on it. You go from project to project, and then all of a sudden you’re at a lovely thing like this.

It’s rumoured you want to move on from Gossip Girl, is that true?
That was taken out of context… what I was trying to say was I want to maximise my time so I can work on other projects as well as Gossip Girl. Why would I [want to move on]? I’m having a fantastic time. I’ve got a great character, a great cast, and I get to live in New York City.

Your character in the film has rock star ambitions, are you still playing music?
I had a band [The Filthy Youth], that was a little while ago, we broke up a long time ago. I just mess around on the side and play music on my own now.

Do you have any Valentine’s Day plans?
No no no, I think I’ll probably be working, as it falls on a Monday so… I’ll be a bit tied up. I’ll be back in the States. I leave tomorrow night actually.

You have J Edgar coming up, can you tell us anything about that?
Yeah, I think we’re doing that in March, so I’m very much looking forward to that. Exciting, definitely.
