Dishing on his kissing scene with Ed Westwick on 'Gossip Girl', 28-year-old Neal Bledsoe describes his same-sex kiss with the depicter of Chuck Bass on the show as 'a nice kiss'.

Making a cameo on an episode of the upcoming season of "Gossip Girl", Neal Bledsoe is billed to do a same-sex kissing scene with Ed Westwick. Asked by EW whether or not he feels awkward making out with the depicter of Chuck Bass on the show, Neal answers, "No. We were both professionals about it."

"[It helped] that we got to know each other a little bit beforehand," Neal goes on detailing about the kissing scene. "And we certainly rehearsed it more than a few [times]. I would characterize it as a nice kiss."

In late August, it was announced that Neal Bledsoe would join the cast ensemble of "Gossip Girl" to appear on the sixth episode of the CW series' third season, which is scheduled to be premiered on September 14. He stars as Josh Ellis, a New York University's Head of Freshman Affairs, who is tasked to select an incoming student to give the freshman speech.

Describing further about his character, Neal says, "I play a lawyer who is a very well connected alumni at the university who has a hand in deciding who is going to give the famous freshman speech." Then, he continues, "Initially I was supposed to play the dean of the freshman class. But then they hired a 28-year-old actor so that seemed like a little bit of a stretch."
