Who Is Gossip Girl Star Zion Moreno?

Publish date: 2024-03-27

Like her Gossip Girl costar Evan Mock, Zión Moreno was a model before she was cast in the HBO Max series. As W reported, Moreno modeled with the Wilhelmina and Elite modeling agencies before focusing on acting. And if you want to know just how much work went into her modeling career, check out this Facebook video from Slay Model Management, which shows Moreno getting her makeup done.

The original Gossip Girl series focused almost exclusively on wealthy white teenagers, so it's nice to see that the new show will include actors from more varied backgrounds. Moreno is Mexican-American, and several of her costars are also people of color. The lack of representation in the original show is very apparent, but HBO is correcting some of those wrongs with the casting for the new series. There's no release date for the Gossip Girl reboot yet, but countless fans are thrilled about the more inclusive, updated version of the iconic show.
