Someone aside from Penn Badgley playing Joe Goldberg? You have actually got to be joking.
Ahead of the You season 3 best, returning Friday,Oct 15 on Netflix, the cast solely dished to E! News about why Badgley is the ideal guy-next-door killer– and we could not concur more.
The Gossip Girl alum is a worldwide star thanks to his ominous on-screen personality. As season 3 visitor star Shalita Grant gushed, “He’s a mega-star. My partner’s family even wants his autograph.”
According to Grant, it’s Badgley’s real-life character that makes his You character relatable and understanding … even when he’s beating somebody to death. It’s that duality of appeal, generosity and heart from Badgley IRL that, with a bloodied twist, can craft the complicated character ofJoe “He’s actually the perfect actor to play a serial killer because he’s the nicest guy, in all honesty,” Grant continued. “If he were a different guy, I’m not sure the show would work.”
