Alex Pettyfer's crotch is not thankful; Loves Los Angeles

Think you know Alex Pettyfer's scandalous crotch tattoo? Think again.

  The Brit tells E! Online that the now infamous ink that he previously joked reads "Thank You" just below the belt line (In case he forgets to say it) is totally not what you think.

"You know everyone thinks it says 'Thank you,'" he laughs. "It says my name, 'Alex.' It's boring." Adding, "He [the writer of the story] said that, not me."

Which begs the question -- Who the heck tattoos their own name on their private parts?! That's not even boring, it's just weird. This is not news to us at Zap2it, however. We called his bluff back in April when the story first broke.

After expressing his distaste for the city of Los Angeles by calling it a "s*** hole" and "socially disgusting," Pettyfer now says he's been misunderstood.

"I love New York," he responds when asked how the two entertainment capitals compare. "I love L.A., too. I love both places." Clarifying his previous comments with: "I don't think I was so much misquoted but misunderstood."

"The most misunderstood boy in America," his publicist chimes in.

So there you have it, readers. Alex Pettyfer: Boring lover of America. We don't totally buy it, do you?
