Did you know that it is named after some tennis balls? We take advantage of the fact that season 4 of ‘You’ premieres today to tell you some curiosities about its ‘prota’.
Almost all of us knew him thanks to his role as Dan Humphrey in ‘Gossip Girl’ and since then we felt a crush on Penn Badgley, which now returns to the present day after the premiere of season 4 of ‘You’ on Netflix. For this reason, we are going to tell you some curiosities about the life of the actor that you may not know. He was born in 1986 in Baltimore, USA, prematurely at seven months, something that affected his health during the first years. At the gates of adolescence, he moved to Hollywood and there he would start his acting career after already showing interest in theater as a child. Like a good Scorpio, his strength and charisma led him to get his first appearance on television when he was a kid in the series ‘Will & Grace’. In successive years, he managed to appear in some fiction chapters as ‘The Mountain’ either ‘The Bedford Diaries’, until in 2007 he joined the elite of Manhattan and conquered Blake Lively on and off screen.
The two dated for a couple of years, but ended up breaking up. His next partner was Zoë Kravitz, with whom he didn’t work out either, something that did happen with Domino Kirke, his current wife and mother of his son James. He also shares her passion for music with her. She is a singer and Badgley has an indie music band called Mothxr.
Apparently Penn Badgley, whose name was chosen by his father for the brand name on the Penn tennis ball he squeezed during the first ultrasound, is one of the indecisive types. He had doubts about accepting both the role of Dan and Joe in ‘You’ and luckily he reconsidered because to this day they are his best characters. While on the big screen he has participated in more than a dozen films that are not too famous.
Discreet with his personal life, the interpreter does use his fame to get involved in solidarity actions with the Red Cross and has expressed his support for the LGTB+ collective on numerous occasions. He also presents a ‘podcast’ in which he talks about his stories from school and the complexity of adolescence and, in addition, he has been considered one of his most handsome celebrities. This boy is good for everything.
