I think I just fell for ALEX PETTYFER. The twenty-one-year old actor talked to VMAN magazine about his resentment towards L.A., the reason why he dabbled in modelling [for Burberry], and his opinions on show business being 'show business'.
Alex on his Wikipedia page - “I think my Wikipedia is full of bullshit because I actually don’t have anything cool or interesting to be said about me,” the 21-year-old Pettyfer explains. I ask if he wants to add the word “yet” to the end of that statement, but he declines. “I’ve heard I’m called a bad boy, or difficult—maybe that’s because I don’t take any bullshit.”
Alex on Los Angeles - “L.A. is growing on me a little bit, but it’s still a shit-hole. I think it’s this insidious pool where nearly everyone lives in fear.” Is there any saving grace to living in Southern California? “Geographically it’s fantastic: in a half hour, you can be on the beach in one direction, go snowboarding in another, or go out into the desert. But socially it’s disgusting. I wish they’d just run all the cunts out.” He doesn’t even like those A-list red-carpet events. “I really don’t give a shit about any of that. I wish I had some interesting stories [about living in L.A.], but to be honest I mostly just do my work and then go home.”
