Penn Badgley 'Doesn't Enjoy' Playing Joe Goldberg On 'You'

Well of course he doesn't! Who would really enjoy playing a sadistic killer... other than another sadistic killer.

Then again, it could be cathartic. Imagine it, finally being able to act on all those deep, dark thoughts you have about people who do their lottery tickets at busy convenience stores at like 4 PM in the afternoon?

So the second season of 'You' is almost out.

There's a joke in there about the name of the show and you, the person.

Now that's out of the way. we can talk about the real You, the show that has a second season on Netflix.

Although I'd love to hear about the real you.

This season shows Joe in L.A.

Trying to reinvent himself, as most people who go to L.A. do.

In Joe's case, however, he wants a new life after murdering his girlfriend.

As most people who go to L.A. do.

Penn Badgley, the man who plays the murderer, says he sometimes has trouble doing so...

He had a recent interview with the illustrious Digital Spy where he chatted about playing the role:

"There's a lot I don't enjoy about him. To be honest, I don't enjoy nearly everything about him."

Really? There are some things you don't enjoy about a murderer?

He goes on:

"However, it ends up being a deep, deep psychological exploration for me. And it seems to bear fruit. There's a lot about him that I struggle with and yet I'm always trying to humanize him as much as possible."
