Penn Badgley Latest Celebrity News & Gossip

Actor Penn Badgley is getting a little concerned because he’s beginning to think like his serial killer You character.

Who could have predicted that a character birthed from a Lifetime series would be such a topic of conversation and point of obsession on social media and beyond?

Look, I get the confusion. Penn Badgley, who plays Joe, is a hot guy. You probably know him best as Dan Humphrey from Gossip Girl, so his face is already nostalgia-inducing and probably makes you feel all warm inside. And he's not any less hot in this show than he was in that one. If anything he's gotten better with age.
