Ed Westwick has joined TikTok and taken on his character from Gossip Girl to start a new TikTok challenge.

Westwick started the TikTok trend the way that most do by asking fans a question phrased in the TikTok way.

He iniated it like this:

TikTok, tell me you've watched Gossip Girl without actually telling me you've watched Gossip Girl. I'll start."

Westwick started the challenge by putting away his British accent to don an American one for his character Chuck Bass. He wore a blue vest, lowered his voice, and gave the iconic look that Bass gives in the show.

He ended his video with "I'm Chuck Bass." That's one way to tell fans that they've watched Gossip Girl.

Many fans quickly realized that Westwick is currently promoting his movie "Me You Madness" and this may be part of that campaign.

It's nice to see Ed Westwick bring back nostalgia from a show that stopped airing nearly 10 years ago now.

Ed Westwick's TikTok was met with very mixed responses

Ed Westwick's clip has not been met with universal praise. The reactions on Twitter and TikTok were very different.

TikTokers were very supportive of this new addition. Westwick already has a million followers and fans were drooling over him.

Twitter users, on the other hand, reminded everyone of Ed Westwick's past allegations. Ed Westwick was accused of rape and sexual assault by four women in 2018.

Here are some of the reactions on Twitter:

This difference in each platform's reactions shows how different the two brands are. Twitter is well known for canceling celebrities. TikTok isn't really a platform where these details are brought up, as seen from the comments.

Although no charges were ever brought against the Gossip Girl star, his reputation was tarnished. It appears Ed Westwick will have a much easier time getting into TikTok than Twitter.
