"Fear not, Gossip Girl fans: Penn Badgley will be fuzz-free in no time!\r\nThe actor, 25, who showed off his bushy beard during COACH&amp;apos;s summer party at The Highline in NYC June 19, admitted to Vulture he&amp;apos;s &amp;quot;probably going to shave it in about a week.&amp;quot;\r\n\r\nThe reason Badgley grew it in the first place, he said, was that it gave him &amp;quot;a chance to try&amp;quot; a new look. &amp;quot;I&amp;apos;ve never really had the opportunity to grow one. . . because of work. And I know everybody hates it.&amp;quot;\r\nWhen Badgley spoke to Us Weekly at the star-studded bash, he said his look is &amp;quot;always changing&amp;quot; -- just not on camera. &amp;quot;I actually looked like this a year ago, but nobody saw it, and then I had to shave.&amp;quot;\r\n\r\nWith Gossip Girl ending its six season run this fall, Badgley -- who&amp;apos;s still going strong with Zoe Kravitz, 23 -- is eager to pursue more film projects.\r\n\r\n&amp;quot;It&amp;apos;ll be bittersweet. I&amp;apos;m sure we all want to go on to. . . not bigger things, but different things,&amp;quot; he told Us. &amp;quot;It will be a complicated feeling of ambivalence.&amp;quot;"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
