American TV series Gossip Girl actor Ed Westwick has signed up to star in K-Swiss’ Classic Shoe advertising campaign, starting February 2009.

The 21-year-old British actor, who’s also the lead singer of the English rock band The Filthy Youth, is shooting the ads in NYC featuring tennis balls, rackets and guitars. The TV spots will reportedly show him singing “Come Flash All You Ladies” from his rock band.

So why exactly is Drew Barrymore’s picture here? Well, apparently some romance is in the air between 33-year-old Drew Barrymore and Westwick, as evidenced at a recent concert in the UK. And that’s just news that might just go pretty well with the new role for the bad boy of Gossip Girl.
