Chace Crawford Is People's 'Hottest Bachelor'

Chace Crawford, who plays hunky Nate Archibald on the CW teen drama "Gossip Girl," is People magazine's hottest bachelor of the summer.

Crawford is slated to star in a remake of the 1984 film "Footloose," which made Kevin Bacon a heartthrob.

The 23-year-old actor says he's "not in any rush" to get into a relationship because he has the rest of his life to share with someone.

He says dating country star Carrie Underwood was "a whirlwind" — but has no regrets. Crawford adds: "I learned a ton about dating someone in that kind of spotlight."

People's list of sexy single men also includes Zac Efron, Robert Pattinson and Bradley Cooper.
