(Cover) - EN Showbiz - Chace Crawford used his New York apartment’s “world-class roof deck” to bond with the cast of his latest movie.

The 25-year-old actor plays a troubled teenager who is forced to become a drug dealer in new drama Twelve. The role is a departure from Chace’s work on US series Gossip Girl but he loved every second of it.

The star particularly enjoyed the sense of “camaraderie” he had with his co-stars, and says the secret to bonding with them was inviting them over to his home.

“I have this world-class roof deck at my apartment building in New York and we had these really chill get-togethers up there,” Chace told Us Weekly magazine.

“Some of us cooked out there too. I really like that camaraderie. You’re spending so much time together, you might as well get to know each other.” (C) Cover Media
