Ed Westwick: I am single!

Ed Westwick insists he’s single and ready to mingle — but admits it’s a little difficult to date because he’s so goddamn famous!

And not because he’s shockingly unattractive.

The Gossip Girl actor — who was recently rumored to have rekindled with former flame Jessica Szohr — says he doesn’t have a girlfriend.

“I’m single!” Westwick told Britain’s Closer magazine when quizzed about his love life. “My English accent drives American girls crazy but I haven’t got time for romance.

“I’ve always been in love with Rachel Weisz, but sadly she’s taken.”

Ed says there’s “added stress” to having a relationship when you’re an actor because “sometimes you can’t deal with things privately – which is how they should be dealt with. It can be pretty hurtful, especially for people who aren’t as tough as they should be. People who don’t have their wall up.”
