Ed Westwick Calls His 'Wicked City' Character a Monster

Ed Westwick is dressed in all black while appearing at AOL Build to promote his new series Wicked City on Thursday (October 22) in New York City.

The 28-year-old actor also appeared on Good Morning America earlier in the day.

“The character is so multi-layered, so it was a real challenge of a part,” Ed said when discussing his role.

When asked about his attraction to the “bad boy” roles such as this new part and his Gossip Girl character Chuck Bass, Ed said, “I don’t think [he's] a bad boy. This guy’s a straight up monster. So it’s very different from being a bad boy.”

Make sure to catch the Wicked City series premiere on Tuesday, October 27 at 10/9c!

FYI: Ed is wearing Cole Haan shoes at GMA. He’s wearing H&M shoes at AOL Build.
