Penn Badgley warns fans of 'You' series: 'Get that off internet'

Penn Badgley, who is notable for his role as Joe Goldberg in You series, opened up about the thing on the internet that bothers him the most.

Although the 38-year-old earlier asked his fans to avoid romanticising the character he played, Penn has another warning for the netizens.

During his fun interview with Bri Morales on Are Your Okay?, the actor was asked about something he “wish could be erased from the internet?

Visibly annoyed, the Gossip Girl star revealed there’s a picture “that’s been showing up in my comments, which is my face” with a bizarre text.

The interviewer burst into a laughter as the producer disclosed the gif that read: “I’m going to touch You.” Penn warned everyone, “Get that the f**k off the internet.”

However, the online community did not stop the tease as the video’s comment section was flooded with his gifs and even a sticker that read: “I’m going to touch you.”

Elsewhere in the clip, the star admitted he loves having dates with yoghurt as a weird food combo.

The Netflix original revolves around an obsessive young man who stalks women he finds fascinating and gets involved with them by knowing everything about them.

Why is everyone obsessed with Joe's character from You?

After the release of the TV show, Joe’s character was highly romanticised by women around the world. However, the Stepfather star warned everyone to not ignore the role’s violent tendencies because of his good looks.
