Ed Westwick Gets Star Struck Too

We didn’t think Gossip Girl star Ed Westwick could get any cuter…

But he just did.

He recently told British magazine Reveal that he had the chance to meet one of his idols and, when confronted with the opportunity, he couldn’t even speak.

“I was at this ball in New York that was so grand David Bowie was sitting at the next table and shook hands with George Clooney,” Westwick says. “Then I went to the toilet and there was David Beckham. I couldn’t say anything, I just ran out. A friend tried to persuade me to say ‘Hello,’ but I couldn’t do it. It was ridiculous. But I had a Beckham shirt when I was a kid and he was the one I watched growing up."

“There have been a couple of times now that I’ve been in the same room as him, but I just can’t go up to him. I can’t.”

Adorable.

We have this vision of a wee Westwick, long before he left teenage girls in a pile of hysterics, kicking a soccer ball around the yard pretending he’s Becks.

Bend it, baby.
