Alex Pettyfer Likens Acting To Prison In Cuss-Filled Interview, Talks Crotch Tattoo

Alex Pettyfer, star of Beastly and I Am Number Four, was poised to become Hollywood's next big thing. Between a British accent and stunning good looks, it seemed he could not do wrong.

Appearances can be deceiving.

In a new interview with VMAN magazine, 21-year-old Pettyfer goes no-holds-barred, and insults women and the entertainment industry.

First, he tells the mag that he has a tattoo above his crotch that reads "Thank you." His explanation? "In case I forget to say it," he said while winking.

We wonder how Pettyfer's ex, Glee's Dianna Agron, felt about that.

Pettyfer also showed disrespect for the city and industry that are making him famous. He called Los Angeles a "s***hole."

"Geographically it's fantastic, but socially it's disgusting. I wish they'd run all the c***s out."

Los Angeles is the socially disgusting one?

Pettyfer even had the nerve to complain about his success.

"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."

Being an actor is like being in prison? Really? Yeah, we often confuse the red carpet with cell bars and Armani tuxes with orange jumpsuits.

This new interview adds to a growing pile of rumors about the star. We hear from our sources that he was a nightmare to work with on Beastly.
