Penn Badgley reveals premature birth caused her heart and lungs to stop

Penn Badgley has revealed he was born two months premature, which caused his heart and lungs to “repeat stoppage” daily in a moving new interview.

The You actor, 36, said his mother had to resuscitate him daily and he believes the trauma has affected him physically and mentally throughout his life.

Speaking on the HypocondriActor podcast, he said: “The first two weeks I was in a neonatal intensive care unit [neonatal intensive care unit] because my heart and lungs were stopping repeatedly throughout the day.

Doctors resuscitated him in hospital, but his health issues continued to plague him when he was well enough to be sent home,

He said: ‘[My mom had to resuscitate me] several times a day because my heart and lungs were stopping, and I was on a monitor that was beeping very loudly. The first time she had to was on the way home from the hospital when I was discharged from the NICU.

The Gossip Girl star said human touch was enough to bring him back, saying, “Just human touch would wake me up.”

“The effect that has had on me, at least in an emotional way, is that I’m extremely sensitive to touch, I’ve just noticed that in my life.” Whenever someone touches me, I am very aware of it.

He added that his health had improved and his condition was ‘going away’ over the years – but becoming a father to son James, now two, with wife Domino Kirke, 40, has helped him. caused him to reflect on how his poor health was affecting him. .

He said: ‘If my son, who I know so well now, was going flat for the first year of his life several times a day, the idea that it wouldn’t influence him is ridiculous.

“Thinking about my toddler now, I realize it really affected me. It affected my sense of what life is, what it isn’t.

The interview comes ahead of the release of the fourth season of the Netflix phenomenon, You,

Penn’s character Joe Goldberg gets a taste of his own medicine from a vengeful serial killer as he tries to keep a low profile under a new identity.

After killing ten people in the last three seasons of You, Joe is unable to escape his past once he comes to the attention of a murder, dubbed the “Eat the Rich Killer”.

Following his move to London and his new life as Professor Jonathan Moore, Joe battles a new grief, which he ominously calls the “catalyst for a new path”.

In September, Joe said he was “not New York’s adorable bookseller” “or the beloved suburban husband” in a new preview.

“I went through a bit of refinement crossing the pond,” he insisted, sipping a cup of tea. “And living in London has allowed me to bury the past if you will.”

“The time for unrequited love and desire is over,” he says as Marienne, who managed to escape his deadly grasp in the past, appears onscreen.

He promises audiences that he’s focused on his job as a teacher, though a creepy frame shows him standing on the shoulder of a new character named Kate (Amy-Leigh Hickman).

Other new characters appear on screen, including fellow character Rhys (Ed Speleers), who also appears to be a teacher, and Nadia (Charlotte Ritchie).

“Unfortunately, with friends in high places, there are usually others trying to climb that social ladder,” he adds as reveler Adam (Lukas Gage) and Lady Phoebe (Tilly Keeper) dance together. “Some may end up falling or, should I say, being pushed to their social death.”

The fourth season of You will air in two parts. The show, based on the novels by Caroline Kepnes, has become a favorite of millions of Netflix users and critics.

The first part of the season will be released on February 10, 2023, while the second part of the season will be released a month later on March 10.

The previous season ended with Joe killing Love, the mother of his child, before flying to Europe in search of Marienne.
