One of the stars in the series “Gossip Girl”, Penn Badgley 38, vented about his role in the teenage series and said the work was nothing but “aesthetics.” The production accompanied young people from the New York elite, United States, and marked generations, having characters and scenes remembered to this day.
In an interview with the British newspaper The Guardian, Badgley said that, shortly before joining the cast of “Gossip Girl”, had passed a body dysmorphia, psychological condition that leads to excessive concern with appearance. This reflected, in a way, in his experience in production.
“There was a time when, coming out of depression and isolation, I was pushed in this world where the more beautiful I seemed, the more successful I could be, the more value I could have. There is no way to overcome the Superficiality of this work and if you recognize this, you can not fail to recognize the superficiality of our culture, due to the way it rewards this work [‘Gossip Girl’]. ”
“What was that series besides aesthetics? This was the bid, the look of us all,” he told the vehicle.
With the role, he also began to worry about how he was recognized by the public.
“I didn’t like the superficial aspect of celebrity in the way I was perceived,” he delivered.
“Gossip Girl” aired between 2007 and 2012. Currently, the six seasons of the series are available in streaming Max and Netflix services.
