Although many fans will always love him as Nate Archibald, Chace Crawford has come a long way to shed his teen heartthrob image.

The Gossip Girl alum recently opened up about feeling trapped “in this box” following his breakout role on the CW teen soap, which ran for six seasons from 2007 to 2012, before landing his current role on Prime Video’s The Boys.

“I felt like I was in the wilderness for years after Gossip Girl, because as big of a show as it was, coming off of it as a still young guy, [I felt like], ‘Oh, that’s not cool anymore,’” he explained on the Good Guys podcast. “And I’m in this box now. I’m in this jail of like the CW pretty boy, who has no range. So, I felt that, and I was probably harder on myself than I needed to be.”

With his current role as The Deep on The Boys, Crawford noted that he was attracted to the project because it was “so out there and original and weird,” a rare opportunity during a new era in his career.

Crawford said of the audition, “It was great. I was so happy to have another job that I was excited about and that the character was so different from anything that I had done before.”

“But it was not lost on me, how difficult after those four years of some false starts on some TV shows, it could be difficult to find another thing. And I was really, really appreciative when this happened … after being on something like Gossip Girl,” explained Crawford. “Not that I took it for granted, it was just so fresh and I was so young, that by the end of it, you inevitably have taken some of it for granted.”

The Boys is preparing to enter its fifth and final season on Prime Video. The streamer also has the animated spin-off The Boys Presents: Diabolical and the college-based Gen V. Meanwhile, Diego Luna and Gael García Bernal are executive producing The Boys: Mexico, from Blue Beetle writer Gareth Dunnet-Alcocer.
