Chace Crawford is moving out of the New York apartment he shares with his Gossip Girl co-star Ed Westwick and he's on the hunt for his own bachelor pad.
The handsome pair have been real-life roomates since moving to the Big Apple for the U.S. TV drama, and have shared an apartment in Manhattan's Chelsea district since the series began airing in 2007.
But Crawford, 23, is looking for some privacy from Westwick, 21, and is eyeing a move "downtown, in a secure building with a doorman", a souce tells the New York Post.
The source adds, "Chace wants to move out to a bachelor pad. He wants privacy and has told his agent to spare no expense in finding the perfect loft."
Crawford has shot to fame in Gossip Girl becoming one of the latest teen heart-throbs. But he has now been linked with the lead role in the Footloose remake.
Zac Efron had long since been linked with the remake of the 1984 classic, which starred Kevin Bacon in the lead role, after his turns in both High School Musical and Hairspray.
Efron pulled out of the movie for fear of being typecast.
