The "Gossip Girl" reboot is in full swing and has truly reminded us how much we live for the drama of Manhattan’s elite. Especially when that new ensemble of rich kids includes Thomas Doherty as Max Wolfe.
Thomas is not new to the screen, as you may know him for his work on Disney, but this new role is completely different for him... and we are LOVING it! Here are a few of the many reasons why we are totally obsessed with Thomas Doherty right now.
1. His Time On Disney
In 2017, Thomas first graced our screens as Harry Hook in Descendants 2 alongside Dove Cameron, Boo Boo Stewart, Sofia Carson, and Cameron Boyce. We immediately fell in love with his wicked charm, killer voice, and impeccable dance skills. He went on to star in the third installment of Descendants as well as Disney UK series "The Lodge".
2. His Sense of Style
I mean, have you seen his Instagram?! There is no denying just how fashionable this guy is! When he’s not busy acting on set or getting glammed up for various magazine shoots, Thomas’s street style is still off the charts. We would personally love to hear his biggest styling tips!
3. His Scottish Nationality
He may have had you fooled with his easily masked accent, but did you know that Thomas is actually Scottish?! His American accent is too good for words, and you’ll definitely do a double-take when you hear his Scottish “brogue”. Thomas was born in Edinburgh, Scotland, in 1995 and it wasn’t until he started booking more acting roles that he made his leap across the pond!
4. Those Dance Skills
He might be an actor at heart, but Thomas sure does know how to dance. You might have caught a glimpse of his more performative side in Descendants, but if you really want to experience Thomas’s dancing talents, you can see him play Zander in High Strung Free Dance.
5. His Inner Chuck Bass
I had to save the best for last! Thomas’s newest project is the reboot of "Gossip Girl", which you can watch on HBO Max. Doherty plays Max Wolfe, a mischievous firecracker of a guy, who reminds me a ton of Chuck Bass! He’s quick on his feet, confident, and, of course, devilishly handsome. He is everyone’s go-to guy for a good time... and so much more. We don’t want to spoil too much, so make sure you go watch the show for yourself!
