The Indestructible Alex Pettyfer Has Two Roles in the Pipeline

Alex Pettyfer’s recent dismissive and derogatory comments about the town which keeps him in employment appear not to have had a negative effect on his career. The I Am Number Four star with not one, but two high-profile projects in the works.

First up is the lead in Steven Soderbergh’s (thought he was retiring?) comedy drama about a young, struggling actor who moonlights as a stripper to make ends meet, whilst he pursues his career (based on the real-life exploits of co-star Channing Tatum no less!).

He’s also being lined-up to appear alongside Matthew Goode (Watchmen) in action adventure Overdrive, where the two will play brothers who specialise in thieving cars, and embark on a mission which takes them to the South of France. With scripting duties by Michael Brandt and Derek Haas (Wanted, 3-10 to Yuma), the film will be produced by Taken helmer, Pierre Morel

In light of that now infamous interview with VMAN (where amongst other industry disses and tawdry personal details, he remarks that Hollywood is a “shit-hole”), Pettyfer seems impervious to the effects of self-induced career suicide, which would suggest that in the land of showbiz you can’t keep a good ego down, regardless to how grotesque it presents itself.

    The fake outrage over Alex Pettyfer’s V Man interview really is getting old and tired. Oh no! He dissed Hollywood! I find it hard to believe that anyone in the industry would even deny that Hollywood is a shithole, much less be upset because that someone has confirmed it. Have you even read the actual interview, or were you content to read Ted Casablanca’s total misinterpretation of it? Or perhaps it was Perez Hilton’s SHOCKED reaction to the Ted Casablanca column that you saw? If you did would know that he didn’t reveal even a single personal detail, tawdry or otherwise, except to make a slightly off-color joke about a tattoo. But in case you missed the memo, no, he does not have a tattoo that says “thank you.” Long story short: as Madonna once said, “There will always be queens on the rag.” You are proof off that.
