At Hollywood Life's Young Hollywood awards, Breakthrough Male award winner Ed Westwick dished on the craziest gossip he's heard about himself.

"That I'm fat!" he exclaimed. "It was something like 'the wardrobe department on Gossip Girl has to keep changing his clothes due to his expanding waistline.' It's ludicrous!"

The actor wasn't worried about showing some skin when he hit the pool at the Mondrian hotel earlier that day with a female costar...

He was spotted sipping mojitos with his Gossip girlfriend, Jessica Szohr, and wasn't shy about taking off his shirt to catch some sun.

"He dazzled the crowd with his amazing body," according to an onlooker.

Looks like he's not a fat Bass after all!

As for how similar he is to his womanizing character, Chuck Bass, in real life, Ed says he likes to think he's a "little more secure and less destructive."
