Penn Badgley Voiced A Mario Tennis And Golf Player Named 'Kid' At Age 9 And It's A Sound You'll Recognize Immediately
Here's a random fun fact that you never needed to know: Penn Badgley voiced a Mario Tennis Player named 'Kid' when he was 9-12 years old! At first, I had absolutely no clue what he was talking about, but once I heard the "Ah-CHOO," it all clicked. I SWEAR I've heard that exact noise before, but I would've never in a million years thought it was Joe from You who voiced the character.
Talk about a well-rounded career for Penn. Being able to voice a video game character? Check. Playing a scandalous blogger from Brooklyn that ends up marrying Blake Lively? Check. Murdering multiple people while being able to seduce every woman he sees? Check. (PS: Gossip Girl is one of my favorite shows of all time.)
