Camila Mendes Talks Riverdale with Coveteur

Camila Mendes took part in a photoshoot and interview with Coveteur. During her interview, Camila talks about her new show Riverdale, on her version of her character, Veronica, stressing over waiting to hear if she got the part, rejection, auditioning and so much more. Highlights can be found below.

On her version of Veronica: “My version of Veronica is a bit different from the comics, it still maintains the same essence as the character in the comics. In the comics she’s very snobby and confident, and thinks very highly of herself. In this version she’s a lot sweeter, she’s trying to be a better person, she’s trying to reinvent herself [after a scandal that] brought a lot of shame and embarrassment to her family, so she is recovering from that a little bit. She’s humbled.”

On stressing over waiting to hear if she got the part: “I was losing sleep, I would wake up in the night crying! I was feeling so anxious because it felt like I was on the verge of something. I was so so close! Either my life was going to change and could transform into something I’ve always dreamed of, or it would just go about the way it was as if nothing ever happened. That was a really scary thought, that I could get so close to something that honestly felt so right. I had never felt so confident about playing a character in my life as I did with Veronica.”
