Penn Badgley Can Go From Charming To Creepy Without Changing His Expression

The thing about “You” is it’s narrated by Joe, and he doesn’t see a huge problem with what he is doing which is why the viewer is prone to “root for him” before reconsidering it.

[kvothearcane]

he’s finally getting the recognition he deserves

[sierravera]

He’s like “I literally get applauded for doing nothin” *does nothin* *gets applauded* 😂

[terisochhai]

I like how Penn puts it out straight that they are purposefully romanticising the whole character so they can’t blame the audience for their response.

[melaniebiggs]

“Be creepy”

Penn: *just stops blinking*

[logray]

bruh he didn’t shake his hand and penn played it off so damn smooth

[roz]

I wish he turned to camera 3 and said “hi, you”

[asophiez]

he mentioned his privilege, he mentioned that the show is MADE to romanticize Joe, he is so aware of stuff

[lordmysticlaw]

He doesn't give himself nearly enough credit. His acting is amazing.

[isaleiberg]

he looks good yes, but most of his attractiveness actually comes from how smart and well spoken he is

[elisaa]

so crazy how season 1, he didn’t get the hype and now he is everywhere getting the recognition

[AvecPoesie]

His intelligence is remarkably attractive.

[-BabyValentine-]

But is everyone over looking his statement about how easily we forgive people that “check the right boxes” more so than others...that’s a good ass point.

[nathalieignacio]

It’s the way he talks and control his voice

[Gadekko]

Joe makes a really good job impersonating Penn Badgley here.

[itsonlyoneyah]

Penn: “Im Married, Im Married”
Me: **Crying and throwing up**

[barbara]

“so why do people wanna date joe despite him being a murderer?”
penn: so basically, i’m hot.

[iamjaquanna]

He’s so very Dan Humphrey in real life. The articulate yet stammering through sentences thing works for him. Penn is kind of a dream boat.

[bettesfragrancereviews]

This guy is wise. I couldn’t agree more with what he said about today’s society with regard to his character. I wish more people would understand it.

[maeganachoy]

I love how he doesn’t condone the fantasy and sets society straight. He’s hilarious. Excellent actor, amazing person.
