"Penn Badgley has discussed the Gossip Girl finale&amp;#039;s controversial twist. The CW series wrapped up its six-season run before Christmas, with the revelation that Badgley&amp;#039;s character Dan Humphrey had been anonymous blogger Gossip Girl all along.   &amp;quot;I got a kick out of it,&amp;quot; Badgley told Digital Spy. &amp;quot;It&amp;#039;s funny because in the beginning, I didn&amp;#039;t even really appreciate that people would care about the narration and this figure of Gossip Girl.  &amp;quot;It&amp;#039;s funny that in the end that of all people I was the one who would hold the Gossip Girl mantle. It was definitely a surprise.&amp;quot; Asked whether he had found himself missing the show, Badgley responded: &amp;quot;I mean we had it for so long that I don&amp;#039;t think I&amp;#039;ll ever miss it, like I want it back. I&amp;#039;m certainly nostalgic about the people and the places we were and the experience together. It was all of my 20s.&amp;quot; Badgley&amp;#039;s co-star and former girlfriend Blake Lively recently denied reports that she had turned down the opportunity to appear in a Gossip Girl movie. Greetings From Tim Buckley, in which Badgley plays singer Jeff Buckley, is now available to UK viewers via Tribeca Film On Demand on iTunes, Virgin Media and Playstation.
