'Gossip Girl' star Evan Mock wants Tom Holland to guest star on the show: 'I love him'
- "Gossip Girl" actors Evan Mock, Emily Alyn Lind, and Thomas Doherty named their ideal guest stars.
- Mock told Insider he'd like Marvel star Tom Holland to appear on the hit HBO Max series.
"Gossip Girl" actor Evan Mock is keen on Marvel star Tom Holland making an appearance on the hit HBO Max series.
Mock, who plays Aki Menzies, expressed his adoration for Holland while joined by costars Emily Alyn Lind (Audrey Hope) and Thomas Doherty (Max Wolfe) for a recent interview with Insider ahead of the season two premiere of "Gossip Girl" on December 1.
When asked about who they'd like to see guest star, Mock answered without hesitation.
"Tom Holland," said the model and skateboarder turned actor. "I love him."
"Tom Holland, for sure," Mock added.
Doherty and Lind, meanwhile, had arguably less conventional stars in mind.
Doherty said it would be "sick" if famed skateboarder Tony Hawk popped up ("I'd love him to come on") and Lind jokingly expressed interest in Mock's step-dad appearing before giving her true answer: a three-time Academy Award winner.
"Can we just say our favorite actors, like Daniel Day-Lewis?" Lind said, leading to cackles from her costars. "Why not? Let's just spice things up here. Like, what would he be doing?"
Nothing is too far out of the realm of possibility for "Gossip Girl," though.
The original series, which aired from 2007 to 2012, featured a slew of celebrities during its six-season run — from musician Cyndi Lauper and model Tyra Banks to Lady Gaga and future Marvel star Sebastian Stan.
The current iteration of "Gossip Girl," helmed by Joshua Safran, is set in the same universe as the original series and follows a diverse, new generation of privileged high schoolers on the Upper East Side.
When the teens return to school for their second semester in season two, they're faced with more dilemmas, scandals, and life-changing decisions — all while under the invasive eye of Gossip Girl (aka the teachers at Constance Billard-St. Jude who revived the anonymous account at the start of season one).
For Aki, Audrey, and Max, their season two journey focuses on navigating the complexities of a being in a throuple.
"Our main goal here is to make sure that everyone feels equal, which is obviously a really hard thing to do in a poly relationship," Lind said of the characters' dynamic. "And I think it's really cool for viewers to be able to kind of go through that experience with them."
The first three episodes of season two of "Gossip Girl" are currently streaming on HBO Max. The 10-episode season continues with one new episode every Thursday, leading up to the finale on January 26, 2023.
