Alex Pettyfer: The Light Burns My Hands

Alex Pettyfer shows off his best pensive look in this new shot from GQ magazine.

The 20-year-old actor caught up with mharb on the set of I Am Number Four last summer to try and explain how he prepared having light come out of his hands.

Alex shared, “It’s really cool. I was listening to an interview with the guy who plays Freddy Kruger and he was saying how he developed his technique and had this flowing motion that he used to have as an actor. That he just took the hands and so for me I just wanted to figure out a way – I didn’t want it to be all very dramatic.

“I came up with this way to light my hands, take it down and then I came up with this concept that when my hands light up cause it’s illumine and you don’t know what happens later in the books, and I do, but it kind of burns my hands so it’s a kind of painful experience every time I light up. But it’s great to have something to play with.”
