A Masterclass in Promotion
In a brilliant display of promotional savvy, Cooper announced the exciting news via Instagram. The 30-year-old podcaster shared a delightful reel that pays homage to the signature voice-over style from Badgley’s hit Netflix show, You. In the clip, fans are treated to a humorous inner monologue where Alex prepares for the interview while daydreaming about Penn’s signature locks.
The video kicks off with Cooper contemplating: “I’m so excited for this interview; first, we’ll start with the childhood trauma, and then obviously dive right into Gossip Girl — I wonder what his hair will look like?”
A Dramatic Entrance
The excitement escalates as Penn prides himself on a classic moment from You, bursting through the door with the show’s eerie theme music playing in the background. “Hello — You,” he greets, as Alex humorously thinks, “He’s so creepy on his murder show.” To her surprise, he telepathically retorts, “You know I can hear you, right?”
