Countless cool kid-hangs have begun with the words “let’s meet at Tompkins Square”, referring to the leafy park in New York’s East Village that’s long been a haven for outsiders and rebels and drag queens and punks. But the cool kid on this – day a breezy afternoon in May – who wants to link up there happens to be the coolest of them all: Mr Evan Mock, the 24-year-old pink-haired skateboarder who Mr Frank Ocean (more on him later) helped catapult from niche fame on the sport’s circuit to global visibility as a fashion model and soon as an actor, debuting this summer as one of the leads in a new reboot of television show _Gossip Girl_.
