Woman who made ‘gross’ request of stranger in a restaurant goes viral after realizing it is Gossip Girl star Thomas Doherty

A handsome man who helped a stranger clean her cuts in a fancy New York restaurant turned out to be a famous celebrity.

It’s not unusual to spot a celebrity in New York, but one woman has left the internet after revealing that a friendly stranger who helped her clean her incisions after wisdom teeth surgery was actually Gossip Girl actor Thomas Doherty .

‘I had to have my wisdom teeth taken out when I was 17, but that didn’t happen, and I got a really bad infection,’ Beth Gaskill explained in a TikTok videoand as a result, she had to have her wisdom teeth removed.

A few days after having her teeth pulled, Beth flew to New York to film a news segment for her reading company, then went out for a celebratory dinner with a friend.

“We weren’t really served in this small restaurant,” she explained. “And these two guys come and sit next to us.

“New York is very small,” she continued. ‘And the tables are very close together [so] Thomas was very close to us.’

Beth and her friend started talking to the actor and his friend and noticed that they were being served before they even received menus, so Thomas and his friend started sharing their food with them.

“It was really sweet,” she said.

The four of them chatted – with Thomas telling them he was an actor but not revealing his last name – before the conversation turned to her dental surgery.

“I don’t really know what happened next, but to ‘prove’ he was a sweet boy, I was like, okay, ‘do you want to clean the holes in my wisdom teeth?’ she remembered.

“I don’t remember exactly what I said,” she quickly added, slyly adding that he said something “very funny but inappropriate.”

‘And then he cleaned the incisions and said, “That was fucking disgusting. Damn,” she recalled.

According to Beth, the best part of the story came from showing the photos to people after the event.
