American actor Penn Badgley, best known for his roles in "Gossip Girl" and "You," revealed in an interview with USA Today that he reads the Quran and keeps a copy of it by his bedside.
The 38-year-old actor shared that he meditates on verses from the Quran before going to sleep, explaining that the practice brings him a sense of mental balance – especially after portraying the intense and dark character Joe Goldberg in "You."
He emphasized how deeply he reflects on the verses he reads, describing them as a source of spiritual grounding and introspection.
In addition to his Quranic meditation, Badgley also practices one of the central devotions of the Baháʼí Faith: the Long Obligatory Prayer, which he recites daily without fail.
Badgley has been married to American singer and actress Domino Kirke since 2017. The couple shares a 4-year-old son and is currently expecting twins.
