However, when this actor received the role of “lonely boy,” he did not want it.
According toShowbiz Cheat Sheet, he only accepted it because the behind-the-scenes team couldn’t find a replacement.
In 2013, Penn Badgley toldSalon, “To be proud of something is a really nice feeling.
And it’s a new feeling, and it’s something that I wanna keep going with.”
That certainly makes it sound like he was not a fan of playing Dan Humphrey!
In 2012 though, he did tellVulture, “It’s not that I don’t like my character.
He’s not real.
I don’t hate anybody for that.
But it sucks when people call me ‘Dan’ and think that I’m him.”
