(Cover) - EN Star Style - Ed Westwick thinks the talk over his chest cleavage is funny.

The actor is regularly seen out and about wearing tops which reveal a large amount of his chest and chest hair.

Recently the trend for men to don plunging necklines has grown, with other celebrities including British band Take That getting in on the act.

Ed, though, feels as though he has become known for the striking look and cannot see what all the fuss is about.

Yeah, its been causing quite a stir, hasnt it? I think thats funny, he told Company magazine. Its good in summer because it keeps you cool, but, yeah, its just my little trademark thing.

The British Gossip Girl star also refuses to appear happy for the cameras when posing on the red carpet.

Ed feels that the traditional actor grin is too false for him to adopt, so he just gives a smouldering look.

I dont practice, it just kinda comes! I dont like the whole cheesy smile Hollywood thing, its not me, the 23-year-old explained. On the red carpet, they shout, Smile Ed, smile! And Im like, No, Ill do my own thing.

Ed admits he tries to be more fashionable even though it doesnt come to him naturally. The hunk believes his trendy surroundings force it upon him.

Im not the most stylish person in the world but I try to rock it out occasionally. Being on Gossip Girl, where fashion is such a presence, and living in New York City, youre going to be influenced, whether its subconsciously or consciously, he said. (C) Cover Media
