Penn Badgley looked as dashing as ever as he posed for a striking Variety shoot to promote the fourth season of his serial killer drama, You.The actor, 36, who plays murderous former bookstore manager Joe Goldberg in the Netflix sensation, cut an edgy figure as he posed in tailored suits, before making rare comments about his previous relationship with Gossip Girl co-star Blake Lively, 35.Penn dated Blake from 2007-2010, after meeting on the set of the hit show where Penn played Dan Humphrey and Blake portrayed Serena van der Woodsen,Penn, who is now married to Domino Kirke, 39 and is father to son James, two - credited Blake's teetotal lifestyle with 'saving him' from forcing himself to experiment with drugs and alcohol.Discussing how he felt a 'dark undercurrent that would bottom out in my later 20s' as he dealt with his newfound fame, he said: 'To be honest, I never struggled with substance.

Penn Badgley doesn’t actually need to be on the internet to stoke his popularity. He’s already the internet’s boyfriend, and has been since the original “Gossip Girl” premiered in 2007. Badgley became famous at the exact moment when the celebrity-industrial complex, fed by the toxic brew of the gossip sites TMZ and Perez Hilton, was at its most pernicious — which was the same moment that teenagers everywhere got their hands on their first iPhones. “‘Gossip Girl,’ if you think about it, wouldn’t have happened at any other time,” Badgley says. “That was the spirit of the show: It was Perez. It was TMZ.” Badgley made it through that poisonous period intact. But now, when it comes to joining social media platforms, he is, understandably, apprehensive. Twitter used to suit Badgley best, he being a news-obsessed man of words, but that’s changed: “I can’t really spend much time on that platform anymore,” he says. Instagram, too, feels “a bit too much like standing on a stage and trying to present,” and Badgley doesn’t need that type of exposure.
