Chace Crawford

Actor Chace Crawford (The Boys, Gossip Girl) joins Dax Shepard to discuss his peripatetic childhood moving between Texas, Oklahoma, and Minnesota, and how constantly making new friends turned him into a people-pleasing chameleon. He recounts crashing a car while valeting in Malibu and narrowly missing a role on Friday Night Lights before achieving overnight fame on Gossip Girl. Crawford reflects on how celebrity can push you toward self-absorption or paranoia, how alcohol seemed to make social demands easier, and why chasing the next wave of validation always proves empty.
