Chace Crawford turned up late to the premiere of his new film because President Obama stopped all the traffic.

Chace was in New York yesterday to attend the premiere of his new flick Twelve at the Landmark Sunshine Cinema in downtown Manhattan.

But New York police stopped traffic to make way for the US President’s motorcade during his visit to the Big Apple yesterday.

The ensuing traffic chaos made it difficult for Crawford and the Twelve cast to attend their own premiere.

The 25-year-old actor told MTV News: "We shut down the street for the premiere and for me… and then Obama just swooped in – figures!

He added: "I mean, I called and invited him and texted him and he didn't want to come, it's just a mess!"

Crawford's co-star 50 Cent said he was impressed with how much of the area was shut down for the President’s visit.

The US rapper said: "It's interesting – the streets are blocked off for a few avenues. We had to go all the way around to get here, but he's the President."
