It definitely looks like he’s gained some weight recently. It’s very noticeable in his stomach, legs and face.

What do you all think?

    First? YES he is

  2. Mel | 9/03/10

    He does look a bit soft in the middle. Maybe it’s relationship weight from dating Blake!

    She lost and he gained. Hilarious!

  3. Jade | 9/03/10

    I’ve never watched the show or paid attention to anyone who stars on that show. But I agree with Mel, a little soft in the middle.

    Rian can you post James Franco if there are ever pics of him? omg…I love him.

  4. aoife | 9/03/10

    yuck that outfit is terrible – he has either gained but more likely it’s just his trousers are too tight!

  5. Redd | 9/03/10

    definitly put on some weight round the middle but still has an adorable face!! just goes to show that men arent under the same pressure as women to stay thin!

  6. HANAN | 9/03/10

    he have boob now

  7. amy | 9/03/10

    it is noticeable in his boobs as well

  8. girly girl | 9/03/10

    moobs! haha. I don’t really think he’s THAT attractive. chace, on the other hand…

  9. Moll | 9/03/10

    He does look like he has gained weight, and his hair looks awful!
    Nooo !! :(

  10. k girl | 9/03/10

    he’s so cute!! kiss on the cheek!

  11. shaun | 9/03/10

    he looks to be getting some boob action too! NOT CUTE AT ALL PENN. i wonder if the show will make him loose weight like they make ED who plays the role of chuck…he was also a lot pudgier the start of last season but the producers and the costume designer basically made him loose the weight..i agree i don’t want a fat chuck bass…however i dont mind a rounder, more boob-a-licious Dan….

  12. beekothefreako | 9/03/10

    I have never ever seen even a second of that show and wouldn’t know it if the actors gained weight. That said, I find him to be nothing special from these pictures. Just kind of regular.

  13. KATIE | 9/03/10

    Well I think its clear he gained weight in his stomach, face, and legs but what about those MAN TITTIES!!

  14. nnn | 9/03/10

    Fatso!

  15. MScotton | 9/03/10

    He doesn’t look as good, he has gained weight and it is unbecoming.

  16. Lana-bee | 9/03/10

    i agree with girly girl. lets get a chace post!!!!!

  17. elenne | 9/03/10

    have no idea who he is, but hes sort of cute, and chubby looks good on him

  18. Alejandra | 9/03/10

    Id say 5′11″ 173lbs and looks amazing i dont want skinny arms around me lol

  19. Polly | 9/03/10

    He looks like a college boy who’s gained the 15 lbs. But it’s not like he’ll be plastered all over the tabloids for it!

  20. honeybee23 | 9/03/10

    @jade: yesss i admore james franco <3.

    hmm, i agree penn looks to have gained some weight. he could do with losing a few pounds, but he's still pretty cute.

  21. bella | 9/03/10

    Wow finally a guy on here. He does look like he has gained, but nothing major. How come guys can get away with this . . .but women its like she commited a crime???

  22. working | 9/03/10

    What do i think? I think he has that disorder (can’t remember the name) where men get boobs. Haha

  23. Persephone | 9/03/10

    bigger belly? bigger breasts? yes he is definitely carry a lot of food babies in there.

  24. Rian | 9/03/10

    bella, he’s not ‘getting away with it’. Have you read some of the comments on this post? :)

  25. chanelgirl | 9/03/10

    The Man Boobs are such a major turnoff!!! Ick. If you can see them through his shirt…imagine him without a shirt. I honestly didn’t get the attraction of this guy before he (recently) went through puberty and grew his boobs, but now (sorry) he makes me want to throw up! He better hit the gym pronto!

  26. Rebecca | 9/03/10

    yep he did…but of course he’ll never get mocked for it in the media since he’s a guy

  27. Tucker | 9/03/10

    He looks cuter to be honest

  28. Tucker | 9/03/10

    Chase is hideous by the way

  29. hotsauce | 9/03/10

    Uh, he looks good! What’s with all the criticism?

  30. Jj | 9/03/10

    Um this isn’t news he’s been gaining weight for over a year now. He had this double chin last summer. It’s getting gross he can’t rely on “boyish” charm forever. They have such strict standards about how we should look they should get it together too.

  31. hannah | 9/03/10

    I think he looks cute but then again i prefer guys who are cute but are a little bigger/ have a gut haha.

  32. Alicia | 9/03/10

    I agree with Jj: Penn has been gaining weight for more than a year now. I understand weight fluctuates sometimes, but seriously it is nice when guys also take care of themselves. I personally think Chace Crawford is attractive (in response to another user saying they find him hideous).

  33. KT | 10/03/10

    wow yes he has! he should really hit the gym, young men are kinda hard to get fat with out muscle..well the ones i know. And maybe wear some looser clothes too.

  34. Anushka | 10/03/10

    His legs look alright but he’s definitely gained around the middle! You think he’s work out more since he’s the star of such a HUGE tv show.

  35. justathought | 10/03/10

    @REBECCA:I understand what your saying and it annoys me too :(

  36. elenne | 10/03/10

    haha. i just googled him, and there was a picture where he was with the blake woman, and she was significantly bigger, and he was slimmer. she looked better like that, and he looks better like this. he looks quite british actually, in this picture, in terms of manner.

  37. Leandro | 10/03/10

    He looks nice! I guess there are some double-standards involved, but I just think generally women look better thin. The clothes men wear don’t really require them to be very skinny – unless they’re into high fashion – while women’s clothes usually do. For the record, I like fashion and I’m very thin, but I don’t think it’s necessary for other guys.

  38. Isi | 10/03/10

    Not necessary to discuss that Penn gained some noticeable weight.
    But I still love him and think that he is really handsome.
    By the way: He looks a lot like a guy I used to date but unfortunately he doesn’t want to date me anymore :-(
    Penn will always remind me of him.

  39. Obsessive Compulsive | 10/03/10

    He really can’t afford to gain any weight. The only reason he’s famous is because teenage girls find him attractive. He needs to diet and hit the gym if he wants to remain relevant.

  40. Creepy Doll | 10/03/10

    So you think this man has “boobs”? And what about a very muscular guy who’s got big pectorals? You call them boobs?

  41. Michelle | 10/03/10

    Sorry, but those are boobs. Also, why do his legs look so stumpy? Ugliest shoes ever, and he has that John Mayer douche-look to him :/

  42. Anastacia | 10/03/10

    ew man-tits… >.<

  43. yin | 10/03/10

    Why he gained? what are his problems???

  44. Kokaile | 10/03/10

    Oh dear, he’s not in shape! Actually it looks like a layer of fat over a shaped body…

  45. Valeria | 10/03/10

    ed gained weight as well after being on GG
    it’s probably the harder partying these guys do and the inadequate exercise
    I hope at least chace crawford and sebastian stan stay in shape!

  46. Denise | 10/03/10

    He’s looking pudgy and bloated. If he were a woman he’d be fired.

  47. sarah | 10/03/10

    its alright he gained weight. he will probably lose it soon enough. anyways hes so cute so i cant say anything negative about him except maybe the moobs freak me out a little. but i bet he will lose it very fast!

  48. Raven* | 10/03/10

    I don’t see what the big deal is. Thats what real men look like. Sorry teenagers…they don’t keep a perfect 6 pack forever. That doesn’t mean they aren’t still sexy.

  49. Maz | 10/03/10

    I had never seen gossip girl. But I just googled pics of him before. Woah, did he grow some major boobs!
    This is majorily unattractive.

  50. MMH | 10/03/10

    Yup, looks like he could loose a few pounds!

  51. vkat | 11/03/10

    hahha yes! He looks like a little porker!

  52. Tiffany | 11/03/10

    I never thought he was hot until I saw “the stepfather.” Now I’m in love. He reminds me of a young Johnny Depp.

  53. sarahjane | 11/03/10

    I feel so bad for males with man boobs. He used to look so…hott…now…not so much.

  54. Fashionismyeverything | 12/03/10

    he has boooobs XDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD

  55. Keyla92 | 12/03/10

    The extra weight suits him well, I think. I like a guy with a cute little belly going lol, reminds me of my boyfriend. He has little moobs too XD

  56. retrobanana | 12/03/10

    he is so unlikable on GG…he isnt attractive imo…and he bores me…now he is fat too.

  57. Leesa | 14/03/10

    Isn’t ge getting ready to film a boxing movie of some kind? Maybe this is part of it…?

    L.

  58. Krystal | 15/03/10

    Don’t do it! Don’t go Matthew Perry on us, Penn!
