'You' star Penn Badgley reads the Quran at night
Published May 4th, 2025 - 11:51 GMT ALBAWABA - In an exclusive interview with USA Today, "You" and former "Gossip Girl" star Penn Badgley revealed that his favorite nightstand book is the Holy Quran, going viral and sparking widespread debate on social media. The actor who recently ended his 7-year-long chapter with Netflix as a lead in one of the streaming platform's most-watched shows, "Your." USA Today asked Badgley what's on his nightstand in reference to the actor's career as a librarian in the show. Badgley replied, "Honestly, on my nightstand, I have the Quran, which sometimes I'll meditate on a passage from." He added, "You know what I just read that I thought, 'Everybody loves horror so much'? 'Dracula.' It's a good book." صرح نجم مسلسل "You" بين بادغلي: "اقرأ القليل من القران كل يوم قبل النوم حيث أشعر وقتها براحه نفسية كبيرة" 👀! — Celebs Arabic (@CelebsArabic) May 3, 2025 He added further that he's a fan of horror books, giving Dracula as an example. During the interview, the American actor was also asked about his diet/ workout routine, travel essentials, morning routine, and how he describes the perfect day in New York. While he stuck to the basics for his workout routine during filming, Penn Badgley followed a more challenging diet by going mostly vegetarian at the end of the season. Moreover, he described his morning routine as "comical" due to his children. Starring in Netflix's "You" really helped put Badgley on the map, for his impressive acting skills as a young man, who appears charming and kind at first, but slowly starts showing his true colors of his obsessive and stalker nature. Despite his excellent portrayal across the board, You's last season received mixed reactions from fans due to its finale, with many expressing their dissatisfaction. The finale currently sits at a 5.5/10 rating on IMDB. © 2000 - 2025 Al Bawaba (
