Thomas Doherty Compares Legacies' Sebastian & Lizzie to Gossip Girl's Chuck & Blair

Thomas Doherty has quite the comparison for his Legacies character Sebastian and Jenny Boyd‘s Lizzie’s relationship.

In a new interview, the 24-year-old actor said their chemistry is much like Chuck and Blair on Gossip Girl.

“I always say, it’s a bit like Marmite, you love it or you hate it, and that’s Sebastian,” he told TV Guide. “I think it can be similar to something like Chuck (Ed Westwick) and Blair Waldorf (Leighton Meester) in Gossip Girl — that kind of tense friction kind of relationship, but highly entertaining.”

“Sebastian’s initial attraction to Lizzie, that initial spark, does come from a past lover that Sebastian has had,” Thomas added. “So that’s a little bit of his background… I do think it is genuine, and I do also think that Lizzie does remind him of a past lover. She’s very intriguing to him, and he wants to know more about who this girl is.”
