Penn Badgley Reveals Preterm Labor Caused Her Heart And Lungs To Stop

Penn Badgley has revealed that she was born two months prematurely, causing her heart and lungs to “repeatedly stop” on a daily basis in an emotional new interview.

The “You” actor, 36, said his mother had to resuscitate him daily and she believes this 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 NICU [neonatal intensive care unit] because my heart and lungs would stop repeatedly throughout the day.’

Doctors resuscitated him at the hospital, but his health problems continued to affect 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 would stop, and I was on a monitor that was very loud. The first time he had to do it was on my way home from the hospital when I was released from the NICU.

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

“The effect that it has had on me, at least in an emotional way, is that I am extremely sensitive to touch, I have noticed that in my life. Every time someone touches me, I am very aware of it.

He added that his health improved and his condition “vanished” over the years, but becoming a father to a son, James, now two, with his wife Domino Kirke, 40, made him reflect on how he handled it. affected his poor health. .

He said: ‘If my son, whom I now know so well, spent the first year of his life falling down several times a day, the idea that it wouldn’t influence him is ridiculous.

“Thinking about my young son now, I realize that it really affected me. He affected my sense of what life is like, what life is not like.’

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 while trying 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 catches the eye of a killer, dubbed ‘Eat the Rich Killer’.

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

In September, Joe said he was “not the lovable bookstore manager in New York” or “the doting husband in the suburbs” in a new preview.

“I’ve been through a bit of refinement across the pond,” he insisted as he sipped from a cup of tea. And living in London has allowed me to bury the past, so to speak.

“The days of unrequited love and longing are over,” he says as Marienne, who has successfully escaped his deadly clutches in the past, appears on screen.

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

More new characters appear on screen, including his colleague 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 the social ladder,” he adds as party-goer Adam (Lukas Gage) and Lady Phoebe (Tilly Keeper) dance together. “Some may end up falling or, rather, pushed to their social death.”

The fourth season of You will premiere 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 traveling to Europe in search of Marienne.
