    Penn Badgley is breaking his silence on Michelle Trachtenberg‘s death.

    “I have said this before, but what I remember about her was she was incredibly quick to laugh,” he said. “You know, she was really joyous. Like, we all have our ups and downs, our lights and shadows, but … she had this childlike, joyous laugh. She [was] a really pure heart and it’s surreal.”

    The actor, 38, added: “I hadn’t seen her in over a decade, so you know, I can’t claim to have known her well. But really surreal. Really saddening.”
