'You' star Penn Badgley calls out Hollywood sex scenes: 'Very disturbing'

Penn Badgley, star of Netflix's "You," is speaking out against the use of sex scenes in movies and television.

"It’s not a place where I’ve blurred lines," he said in a new interview with Variety. "There’s almost nothing I could say with more consecration. That aspect of Hollywood has always been very disturbing to me — and that aspect of the job, that mercurial boundary — has always been something that I actually don’t want to play with at all." Emily Trainham is an entertainment editor for Fox News Digital.

Another issue Badgley, 36, has with intimate scenes is the fact that, at this point in his career, he's usually older than the actresses he films them with, which "didn't used to be the case."

He stressed, "It’s important to me in my real life to not have them." When asked for clarification he responded, "My fidelity in my relationship. It’s important to me. And actually, it was one of the reasons that I initially wanted to turn the role down. I didn’t tell anybody that. But that is why."
