52	!Tropes
53
54	* ActorAllusion: A would-be example. In ''Series/GossipGirl'', Blair mentions herself and Chuck role-playing ''Literature/WutheringHeights''. Westwick had been cast to play Heathcliff in a new adaptation but was dropped not long before the episode where Blair makes the mentioning aired.
55	* CreatorBacklash: Westwick did not approve of some of Chuck's more depraved actions in ''Series/GossipGirl''. His mother, a psychiatrist, would call him up after certain episodes and tell him she's worried about Chuck.
56	* FakeAmerican: He's English but played American Chuck Bass in ''Series/GossipGirl''.
57	* TheOtherMarty: He was the original actor cast as Mickey Argyll in the 2018 miniseries adaptation of ''Literature/OrdealByInnocence'', but after filming was completed Westwick was accused of sexual assault. Although no charges were ultimately brought against Westwick (who denied the allegations), in response the creators of the miniseries recast Christian Cooke as Mickey and reshot all of Mickey's scenes.
58	* RomanceOnTheSet: Dated ''Series/GossipGirl'' co-star Creator/JessicaSzohr when the series was still ongoing.
59	* WhatCouldHaveBeen:
60	** He was attached to play Heathcliff in the 2011 adaptation of ''Wuthering Heights'', but was replaced with James Howson after the project changed directors.
61	** He auditioned for the role of young Han Solo for ''[[Film/{{Solo}} Solo: A Star Wars Story]]''.
