In a similar move, actor Penn Badgley recently responded to viewers lusting over his murderous character in Netflix drama You. The Gossip Girl star plays (fictional) stalker Joe Goldberg in the Netflix thriller who builds up a tally of killings over his obsession with student Beck.

Ted Bundy, who was executed in the electric chair in 1989, was regarded by some of his victims as handsome and charismatic, traits he exploited to sexually assault, murder and decapitate young females across the US in the 1970s.
