Reportedly, Penn Badgley has requested to be not involved in any more sex scenes in his You series.
He said, "I asked Sera Gamble, [the] creator, 'Can I just do no more intimacy scenes? This was actually a decision I had made before I took the show. I don’t think I’ve ever mentioned it publicly, but one of the main things is, 'Do I want to put myself back on a career path where I’m always [the] romantic lead?'"
He added, "Fidelity in every relationship, and especially my marriage, is really important to me. It just got to a point where I don’t want to do that."
I don't blame him for not wanting to do that! Good on him for standing his ground.
He continued, "Before I took the show, it was a question: Do I have a career if I don’t? Think about every male lead you’ve loved. Are they kissing someone? Are they doing a lot more than that? It got to a point where [I thought], 'I don’t want to do that,' so I said to Sera, like, 'My desire would be zero [intimate scenes], to go from 100 to zero.'"
BTW- the first part of season 4 of You has been released on Netflix, so brb gonna go binge that!
