Penn Badgley Says It Was a ‘Struggle’ to ‘Differentiate’ Himself From His ‘Gossip Girl’ Character: ‘I Didn’t Have the Emotional Maturity’
Penn Badgley said it wasn't easy to leave his 'Gossip Girl' character Dan Humphrey behind after the CW drama ended in 2012.
In a recent appearance on the “ Call Her Daddy ” podcast, Badgley admitted that it was difficult to “move on” from the role after starring in the hit series for six seasons. Starring Blake Lively, Leighton Meester, Ed Westwick, Chace Crawford, Kelly Rutherford, Matthew Settle and Jessica Szohr, the show followed a group of wealthy New York teens whose scandalous lifestyles are repeatedly disrupted by an anonymous blogger known only as Gossip Girl. In the show’s final episode, “New York, I Love You XOXO,” Badgley’s Dan Humphrey is revealed to be the notorious Gossip Girl, citing his outcast status among the elite as the reason for starting the blog.
