Gregg Sulkin On ‘Affluenza,’ ‘Pretty Little Liars’ [VIDEO EXCLUSIVE]

Gregg Sulkin, the Pretty Little Liars star, spoke exclusively with uInterview about his new film Affluenza which makes a bold statement on American wealth and consumerism. His character, Dylan Carson is the richest and arguably the most dangerous. “I’ve got friends in London who I kind of based a bit of the character on. I also watched a lot of Robert Downey Jr. and Leonardo DiCaprio before the movie,” Sulkin told uInterview. “Me and Kevin Asch, our director, at length about making him this charming guy. We wanted him to have some edge, we wanted him to have some secrets and some darkness to him.”

The film, which is thematically tied to The Great Gatsby, carries a larger message. “To young people, I think if you have money, be classy with it, be humble, be grateful, be appreciative,” Sulkin told uInterview. “If you don’t have money, it’s not the end of the world because a lot of people with money somehow don’t act in the proper way.”

Affluenza is currently in theaters and available on VOD. Pretty Little Liars is currently airing its fifth season on ABC Family.
