That’s right, Hollywood’s Next Bad Boy, Alex Pettyfer is the Summer 2011 cover boy for VMAN magazine. I have always said there was something about Alex and now it’s obvious that everyone else thinks it too! Being in two big movies over the last year, Beastly and Number Four, it got him out there. But Alex says that he has a certain distaste for being an actor in Los Angeles.

"I think [L.A.] is this insidious pool where nearly everyone lives in fear," he says. "Geographically it's fantastic … but socially it's disgusting. Being an actor is like being in prison. You go, you serve your time, you try and replicate Johnny Depp's career and then you move to Paris…I've heard I've been called a bad boy, or difficult. Maybe that's because I don't take any bulls—."

And yes, that tattoo below his pelvic bone says, Thank you. He even explained why he had it.

"In case I forget to say it.”

I don’t know how to even take that part.

UPDATE: Thank you to a reader, I got the whole tattoo thing all figured out. It wasn’t supposed to say that Alex had thank you on pelvis but I have been informed that it is actually “Alex” in kanji. I have to also note that I’m not a stick in the mud and I do know how to take jokes. I am the queen of sarcasm. Thank you Thomas.
