Gossip Girl star Chace Crawford is “extremely sore” while filming new flick Footloose.

Chase, 23, is playing the lead role of Ren McCormack in the film, a teenager who moves to a city where dancing has been banned and try to get around the law to hold a senior prom.

However, the physical demands of the film are taking its toll on Chase, he has revealed.

He said: “I’ve been training four days, but I’m extremely sore… it’s really intense. We’re getting the gymnastics and doing some workouts. I’ learning some basic moves.

“I’ve got a little rhythm. I’m realising everyday how much of all the nine months [of prep] I’m going to need.”
