S–tty actor!
Yeah, but who really cares when he has a face like that…
He might not be the best actor on Earth (I’m not saying he’s bad tho), but he sure is hot as hell!
I agree with you. Him, Ian Somerhalder, and Zac Efron look like hot brothers.
5 actors look Zac Efron one of them is Rob Lowe he could be his dad.
Chiseled faced white guys with blue eyes.
Zac belongs to that category?
has the face of a scott. Colton Haynes looks English.
huge eyebrows
lol
And how the hell can you tell a Scottish person from an English person? They’re both white! All white people look the same, idiot.
I’m not being racist btw. It’s true.
“all white people look the same, idiot” i beg to differ…
idiot.
actually blacks or Asian tend to look the same more than white ppl, even though it’s true that’s hard to distinguish a Scot from an English
“Gurrl” don’t be a c*nt. Some people cannot tell White people apart. I can, but there are some people who cannot. Mostly minorities.
@Princess Don’t tell me to be a c*nt when i merely said the same thing someone said to me first.
You are being racist and you know it (unless you are also a complete idiot) I see you around here talking a lot of shit and that needs to stop, now. You are a ignorant, racist and mean little person that needs a life. Your username says it all.
He’s not german, correction
This site is so ridiculous. It guesses ancestries based on nothing but Surnames, that are not good representations all the time.
Chace Crawford is Scottish.
Its ridiculous to say he’s English just because the surnames are English. You realize the majority of Scots are culturaly linked to the English and much of them have English surnames just like the Irish. The most common surnames in Scotland ARE English.
There is not even a “McC” sounding name anywhere in the top 10 most common surnames of Scotland.
Anyway Chace definately has the look of a Scot.
he defiantly looks Scottish he doesn’t look English but i can’t tell the difference between an English and a Scottish my dad was of was a similar background English Irish Scottish Welsh Austrian and German mainly but he had 7 nationalities but he looked Scottish but he looked a Scottish Irish mix even he was mainly of English Irish Scottish Welsh Austrian and German ancestry and born in England my great grandfather was Scottish Irish mix he was half Scottish half Irish this guy defiantly look likes a Scottish Northern Irish mix but he looks Scottish.
