Similarities between Gossip Girl characters and their real lives

Starting from the ever lovely Leighton Meester to the amazing Kelly Rutherford, their lives have been very similar to the characters they portrayed in this awesome series 'Gossip Girl'.

Making 121 episodes, not repeating a single piece of clothing or accessory is not a joke. The producers spent anything from $10,000 to $60,000 per day, while filming this gorgeous TV series.
Even the extras wore perfect clothing and accessories that stood out in every episode. I loved Kaylee Defer as Ivy Dickens/Charlie Rhodes on the show. She is lovely!

If I had to keep talking about statistics, I could on n on! But I want to share the similarities I found.

Leighton Meester (Blair Waldorf)
Her mother's name was Constance, and her character studied in Constance Billard School. Her mother had served time in a federal prison, and her character's mother was locked in her own world of fashion designing and never paid much attention to her daughter. This turned her into a loner from childhood.She has a brother in real life named Alexander, and on the books, she has a brother named Tyler.She gets married to the love of her life in real life Adam Brody, they have a kid, and her character married Chuck Bass and have a kid.

Leighton married Sebastian Stan in real life, who played Carter Baizen on the show.

Ed Westwick (Chuck Bass)

He is probably breaking millions of hearts right now with fans all over the world trying to woo him, but he remains a single man, or rather kept his relationships personal. 

The most favorite of all Gossip Girl characters is this English actor who had a relationship with Jessica Szohr in real life for five whole years! Their characters Chuck and Vanessa Abrams dated too.

If not for his power duo along with Leighton Meester, the show would never have appealed to us all over the world.

Chuck and Blair made it all look so marvelous!

Kelly Rutherford (Lily Bass)

It is not just the fact that her names Kelly and Lily rhyme. There are so many more coincidences that I loved to know. We are glad that the show decided to name her character Lily. It is so much more lovely and perfectly suits her.

The fact that she couldn't have a close relationship with her children neither on the show nor in real life was deeply hurting.

Kelly had a troubled married life, much like her character. She dated a few, married twice but never found the one. Probably it is lost to her like Rufus Humphrey lost Lily van der Woodsen.

Her kids are named Helena and Hermes, like Serena and Eric.

We love this woman and we hope she gets everything she deserves. Don't forget to check her Instagram and Facebook pages for amazing everyday positivity.

Her everyday clothing on the show as well as in real life is a true inspiration to us all.

Taylor Momsen (Jenny Humphrey)

Taylor has been working since childhood, much like Jenny.. 

She has been in and out of school, much like her character. Jenny swears by fashion and starts working at such a young age. Such a natural talent, is something she was born with, and so was her character.

She loves to wear heavy dark eye make-up, and her character does the same.

She and Connor Paolo (Eric van der Woodsen) were buddies since childhood. They even went to the same school together much like their characters.

We loved Taylor's fashion sense on the show. What she portrayed was much like all of us girls' alter ego.

Chace Crawford (Nate Archibald)
The ever handsome Chace had gotten arrested for possession of marijuana. His character Nate was always getting high. Chace shared an apartment with Ed Westwick for two years and Chace moved out later, much like Nate and Chuck.Chace had attention deficit disorder as a child. His character also didn't bother to keep up with studies much.

Matthew Seattle (Rufus Humphrey)

Much like his character, Matthew was married to a blonde, they divorced later. They have a daughter together. 

Probably after they separated, Matthew began dating Kelly Rutherford in real life. Their characters' love was portrayed so beautifully on the show. We want these two to get back together!

Penn Badgley (Dan Humphrey)
We do not want to forget the lonely boy, for all he did was create the whole Gossip Girl website.He is kind of a loner in real life too. He likes bad hairstyles much like his character. He has a step-sister with whom he doesn't have much of a relationship.

Blake Lively (Serena van der Woodsen)

Serena and Blake both have divorced parents. 

They both have a brother named Eric.

Her real surname is Brown, and so is the university that Serena wants to go to. 

Serena and Dan married the day right after Blake and Ryan Reynolds married each other in real life.

William Baldwin (William van der Woodsen)
Other than the names being similar, the character and the actor have sons who have striking resemblance to the man.
