'I had to stab a dude.' PennBadgley talks to ayoedebiri about the latest season of YouNetflix for our March 2023 issue 🩸
BADGLEY: I think of this show as a cultural conversation. It’s not just acting. To me, with something that is interacting with such a seductive, powerful, and in some ways toxic social force, I think there’s some level of responsibility to recognize that, to speak to it, and to interact with it.
EDEBIRI: But it’s that strange thing, where part of the responsibility is recognizing the gravity when it’s there, but also understanding that there is humor at times. There’s a lightness to it, and our job is to entertain. BADGLEY: Yeah. At the end of the day, it’s an escapist exercise, and it’s funny. I’m interested in it philosophically, but I don’t take it too seriously. I’m always laughing. On set, I’m the least serious person. In fact, it got to a point where not everybody interacts with that in the best way. [Laughs] Charlotte [Ritchie] is my costar for much of the season, and she’s phenomenal. We really got along, but there were points where she was like, “You have to stop.
EDEBIRI: Yes. [Laughs] You said something earlier about the moments between action and cut, and you were talking about that as an actor, but in this season you also directed. What was that like? BADGLEY: It was both lovely and natural. Then, from a purely logistical standpoint, overwhelming. The production schedule didn’t really allow me the proper amount of time to prep the episode. I had COVID earlier in the production, and the show was filmed in three different time zones.the end of a marathon, but it was amazing at points to feel how natural it was. In fact, the only thing that allowed me to do it with so little prep was that I’ve been in this central role the whole time.
