Well, we didn’t expect to come across this today.
If you’ve been following Penn Badgley since the Gossip Girl days on Twitter then you’ll know that his Twitter page isn’t all that exciting.
Yeah, he talks about his various projects and interviews, but otherwise… that’s it. It’s sorta dull (sorry to all Penn Badgley lovers).
However, with the recent popularity of You on Netflix, his fandom has seen a rise with people absolutely obsessing over his character, Joe.
Yes, he’s a murderer. And yes, people still love him.
Some people have been tweeting about how hot Joe/Penn is, and the actor has actually been replying to the tweets… and seems utterly perplexed by them:
