Calling all Gossip Girl fans!

Ed Westwick may have already gushed to E! News about reuniting with his one-time co-star Chace Crawford, and now he's dishing all about Blake Lively's little one, James!

We caught up with the actor at the 2015 TCA Summer Press Tour earlier today, and he confessed that he hasn't had a chance yet to meet Lively and Ryan Reynolds' baby girl.

"I texted Blake when she had her baby and congratulated her and I look forward to the day when I finally get to say hello," he told us.

Westwick also confessed that he hasn't caught up with Leighton Meester (who is pregnant with her first child with Adam Brody) in a short while, saying, "I haven't seen her lately, but I'm sure she's doing absolutely fine. She's a great girl."

Westwick was at the Los Angeles event today discussing his upcoming role in Wicked City, which premieres this fall on ABC, where he stars as Kent, a serial killer who made L.A.'s Sunset Strip his hunting ground in the '80s. 

Westwick admitted that stepping into Kent's shoes was no easy feat, and one that has stuck with him long after his days on the set.

"I had nightmares shooting the pilot," Westwick said. "That was traumatizing. It was very, very dark. That stayed with me. There were some evenings during the shoot where I would go home and wasn't able to fully let go of stuff. That crept into my dreams when I slept."

Consider us scared well in advance.
