What Happened To Riley Keough's Ex-Fiancé Alex Pettyfer?

Alex Pettyfer's on-set troubles are said to have begun while he worked on "I Am Number Four." Pettyfer, who was then 20 and a relatively unknown actor, clashed with D.J. Caruso, the film's director. Pettyfer reportedly also caused trouble on the set of his 2011 film "Beastly." This behavior continued while he worked on "Magic Mike," and Pettyfer was excluded from the film's sequel "Magic Mike XXL." In 2015, on the Bret Easton Ellis Podcast, Pettyfer revealed that he and Channing Tatum did not have a good relationship and blamed himself for it, per ABC News. 

Pettyfer said that due to his reputation working on his previous films, Tatum did not want to hire him in the first place. As a result, Pettyfer kept to himself, which he believed gave the film's cast and crew the wrong impression. With that said, one of the last big films he did was 2016's "Elvis & Nixon."  In 2018, he directed and starred in the film "Back Roads."

While promoting the film, he opened up about his reputation to Variety and said, "I was never difficult." Before adding, "I was always on time and knew my lines. But I think it's the aura you put out in the world that people can sense. I probably did not have the appreciation I should have had for the position that I was in." Since 2018, he's starred in smaller projects, including films like "Collection" and "The Infernal Machine."
