Actor Penn Badgley, during an interview, talked about how difficult it was to portray the character of Joe Goldberg. With his son of Joe in the 3rd season ofYouand Penn Badgley being a real-life father, the actor had to worry about blurred lines between fatherhood and what the show wanted him to portray as a ‘father’.
“The funny thing is I was curious what my new fatherhood, how that would influence my experience with Joe and acting with him. And sometimes it was almost not helpful because I was having such a light and joyful experience — still am — and Joe is so petrified. He’s so scared, and of course, I can identify with the fear, but he’s just so morbid in his obsessive, sort of like self-preservation, primal instinct that sometimes I almost found it harder as a result, you know what I mean? It really depended on the scene.”

“I asked Sera Gamble, [the] creator, ‘Can I just do no more intimacy scenes?’ This was actually a decision I had made before I took the show. I don’t think I’ve ever mentioned it publicly, but one of the main things is, Do I want to put myself back on a career path where I’m always [the] romantic lead?”
TheGossip Girlactor continued,
“Fidelity in every relationship — especially in a marriage — is important to me. It got to a point where [I thought], ‘I don’t want to do that,’ so I said to Sera, like, ‘My desire would be zero [intimate scenes], to go from 100 to zero.'”
