'Gossip Girl' First Look: Billy Baldwin as Serena's dad!
William Baldwin’s upcoming Gossip Girl stint as Serena and Eric’s MIA dad (which kicks off April 26) forced him to come face-to-face with an awful truth: “The hardest thing to take in was that I was playing Blake Lively’s father,” sighs the 46-year-old actor of his 22-year-old co-star. “As scary as it is to say, I AM old enough to be her father. But it’s still tough to take.
威廉·鲍德温在《绯闻女孩》中扮演Serena和Eric素未谋面喜欢玩失踪的老爹，他的戏份将于四月二十六日上演，拍摄时，鲍德温不得不面对一个残酷的事实：他居然饰演布莱克·莱弗利的父亲一角。这名已四十有六的男演员不由得叹气：“太恐怖了....我居然已经老到要演这么漂亮的女孩的老爹....真是让人难以接受。”
“I’m [supposed to be] with the girl,” he continues with a laugh, “not the father of the girl.”
他开玩笑地说：“我这么帅应该演这姑娘的男朋友而不是老得掉牙的爹。”
Ironically, it’s the actor’s own fault he got cast in the part. Gossip producers approached him last season to play a different role, but he nixed it. “It was only for one episode,” he explains. “So I told them to come up with something [bigger].”
讽刺的是，得到这个角色都是他自找的。上一季制作人曾经带着另一个角色去找他，他以“一集戏份太少”的理由拒绝了。据本人解释，他想在这部剧中多待一段时间。
Well, there are few roles bigger than that of William van der Woodsen, who’s forced out of hiding due to a crisis involving ex-wife Lily. Baldwin says he “avoided meeting” Lively in advance of the scene in which father and daughter reconnect for the first time in 15 years. “We didn’t see each other virtually until when they rolled the cameras,” he says. “I wanted to limit the amount of exposure we had with one another, because I really wanted it to have an unknown quality to it.”
这下好了，William van der Woodsen这个角色注定要占据不少时间，由于前妻Lily陷入危机，他不得不被迫停止躲藏并现身与之前一直逃避的姐弟俩见面。十五年间第一次父女重逢——鲍德温爆料说现实中他和布莱克也是到拍摄时才见面，为了保持神秘感，并帮助进入那个十五年没见过女儿的父亲角色。
More certain is Baldwin’s future with the show. “If I were a betting man, it would make sense for something to happen next season,” he hints. “It feels like they’re going to want to bring William back.”
下一步鲍德温还会在剧中出现么？据他自己提示：在下一季爹地还会再出现的。这样才合情合理～（这个爆料把我弄糊涂了）
If not, Serena could always work out her daddy issues with a look-alike lover. Quelle scandale!
如果编剧制作人改主意，那可怜的Serena大概要继续寻找和父亲相像的情人和博出位惹父亲关注来解决她的恋父情结了——真是太纠结的八卦流言！
