Penn Badgley on why he didn't originally want to play Joe in 'YOU'

In 2018, samhighfill spoke with PennBadgley about playing Joe Goldberg, and why he was hesitant to join YouNetflix. You can read about it here:

The show is different enough from the book. There are some key moments that are there, but they’re in a different place and happening in a very different way, and then there are some events that I loved in the book that are not just not there, it’s like the opposite happens. So that actually opens up this whole new alternate reality in the show that just doesn’t exist in the book.

Because I came into fame so early on, I’ve never done that. I don’t investigate through the internet about people who I know in the same way that I think most people do because I know what that’s like to be on the other end of it. I think it gave me a certain kind of discipline, or empathy. I don’t really use social media in that way because of my nature to fame, notoriety, whatever it is.
