Alex Pettyfer isn't too concerned about changing his bad boy reputation.
In a new interview with VMAN magazine, the 21-year-old Brit proudly announces that he has a vulgar tattoo above his crotch that reads "Thank You."
The reason? "In case I forget to say it," he says with a wink.

The hot-tempered actor, who endured a messy breakup with his I Am Number Four costar Dianna Agron in February, also shared some insights about what life in Hollywood is really like.
"L.A. is growing on me a little bit, but it's still a s**t hole," Pettyfer complains. "I think it's this insidious pool where nearly everyone lives in fear. Geographically it's fantastic, but socially it's disgusting. I wish they'd run all the c**ts out."

The Beastly star added that he didn't get into the moviemaking business to become famous.

"I really don't give a s**t about any of that," he explained. "I wish I had some interesting stories about living in L.A., but mostly I just do my work and then go home. 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."
Tell Us What You Think
15Loved him since his Alex Rider days (bet most of you dont remember that) And i love hime now even more.....America is all about the social status. If you dont like what he is saying then why are you following this "a$$hole"? The more "bad" they are (a la LiLo) the more publicity they get
I grew up in So Cal so I definitely have to agree when he says that geographically it's great, but socially it sucks!
he's just using brit humor here, geez people, lighten up. plus the guy's just 21 years old; who said a 21 year old is supposed to be a role model or mature in any way? i think he's funny.
He needs to learn the word 'Humility'.
Most of the coverage of this article is just wrong, especially the bloggers who don't get that he was joking about having a tattoo on his pubic area that says "thank you" (It actually say ALEX in Kanji) or the ones who think he's "bashing women" (re: Ted Casablancas) when he uses "the c word" when he's just being British. Other than that, how is he wrong? And I love the people who ask how he dare say this kind of thing about the very people who "are making him rich." The reason that he can say these things without worrying about it is that he was rich to begin with. Honestly is very hard for some people to deal with.
Never heard of the jerk.
Whose this loser?
He sounds like a smart a$$. Who is he anyway??
to be honest i don't know who he is...but I don't see a problem with what he said
I think he's hysterical...and living in L.A for most of my life - he's got a point.
Then go back to England, Alex. Nobody here gives a crap about you anyway.
Misogynistic loser! You've been in what? All of two movies? Three? Pull your head out of your butt before you sink your career a la Sheen and Gibson... Oh wait...you need to HAVE an actual career before you can lose it. There's a reason you were passed over for the Hunger Games! What a Shame!
