Chace Crawford is People’s ‘hottest bachelor’

NEW YORK — Chace Crawford, who plays hunky Nate Archibald on the CW teen drama “Gossip Girl,” is People magazine’s hottest bachelor of the summer.

Crawford is slated to star in a remake of the 1984 film “Footloose,” which made Kevin Bacon a heartthrob.

The 23-year-old actor says he’s “not in any rush” to get into a relationship because he has the rest of his life to share with someone.

He says dating country star Carrie Underwood was “a whirlwind” — but has no regrets. Crawford adds: “I learned a ton about dating someone in that kind of spotlight.”

People’s list of sexy single men also includes Zac Efron, Robert Pattinson and Bradley Cooper.

CW is a joint venture of Warner Bros. Entertainment and CBS Corp.
