Chace Crawford is a Beauty McQueen

Chace Crawford soaks up the sun while relaxing at park in London, England on Monday.

The 22-year-old Gossip Girl hunk seems to be enjoying his time off, shopping up a storm on Bond Street, including a stop at the Alexander McQueen boutique. Chace was later seen working on his tan, reading in a park lawn chair.

Chace recently addressed his relatively newfound popularity: “In terms of being famous, it did go from 0-60 in pretty much no time at all but you learn to deal with it. You just take it day by day. I remember filming on the Upper East Side of New York and there were a couple of hundred girls there. It was Friday just as high school was finishing so we were kind of asking for it. We were just like, ‘OK what have we got ourselves into.”
