Camila Mendes Chats Riverdale With V Magazine

Camila Mendes is featured in a new article for V magazine. The young actress is in the magazine to promote her hit CW show Riverdale. Highlights are below.

On her how she became interested in acting: “It’s something I’ve always wanted to do. My sister would write plays, and I would act in them and perform them for my parents. They were on the comedy side, very much inspired by The Amanda Show. I think that’s where I found my passion for it — being goofy as a child. Then it transitioned into me performing plays in elementary schools, and then it turned into my mom putting me in a school that had a strong acting program. I was surrounded by a ton of people who were already set for Broadway, and that inspired me to take school seriously, so I could get into a good acting program. I got into NYU, and then I booked this show. It was a very lucky path.”

On Betty & Veronica’s relationship on the show compared to the comics: “I think Betty and Veronica in the comics were always fighting over Archie, but I think that came out of comedy and that slapstick style they use. It’s a different world: it’s a different tone entirely [on the show]. The Betty and Veronica in this show aren’t fighting over a man: they’re more mature and grounded in themselves. Even if there is a love triangle being played at, it’s coming from a very reasonable place.”
