Penn Badgley Can Go From Jovial To Joker Levels Of Creepy In Seconds

Have you ever wondered how, exactly, You's Penn Badgley makes such a convincingly creepy stalker?


It apparently comes quite of course to Badgley, as he revealed in a recent interview with Stephen Colbert. Case in point, he has a "shockingly simple" routine that permits him to be the Joe we all know and love (or despise, which is probably the healthier emotion here.)


While Badgley explained some of his process to Colbert, he gave a fast demo of how easy it is for him to go from regular to Norman Bates (the killer from Psycho) in no time flat. It's seriously impressive...And probably why he fits the part so well!


After watching Badgley in the above clip, Colbert was suitably impressed.


"Wow, that was excellent he cheered, as Joe fans across the world probably swooned, much to Badgley's chagrin. After wowing Colbert and the audience with his acting chops, Badgley recalled a different time he had creeped out even his fellow actors with his eccentric stare and stalker look.


"I arrive on the mark," he mentioned of a shoot he did with co-star Elizabeth Lail (Season 1's Beck). "I do nothing however look up. And the whole crew beyond the camera goes, 'Oh! Whoa, man, that is phenomenal! That is so creepy.' And I did nothing."


That effortless ability that usually come so needless to say for Badgley goes away immediately once he's back to usual for his interview, though. It's really fascinating how he can change so much in such a little quantity of time, though that's a testament to how well he plays the role. And right now that Season 2 is obtainable on Netflix, you could watch him navigate life in a whole new area (Los Angeles) with a whole new victim.


And with each season, you know Badgley is getting even better with bringing the creep factor.
