Lili Reinhart Opens Up About, Riverdale, Betty, & Acting With Flaunt Magazine

Lili Reinhart is featured in a new piece from Flaunt magazine. The young actress chats all things Hollywood and Riverdale in her new interview. Highlights are below.

On her character Betty: “I guess I really didn’t know the depth of this girl. The beautiful thing about playing a character on television is that it’s ever-evolving. We’ve seen a lot of the edge that Betty has this past season—the sexuality within her. That is a beautiful thing to watch, and I think it’s kind of mesmerizing to see her discover the woman within herself.”

On the roles she is looking for: “The dream is to have a role that is challenging and pushes your own boundaries of what love can look like. I think that’s what that movie did, and why so many people fell in love with it. I cried at the end—it was kind of crazy how even though love can look so different to so many people, it’s still love at the end of the day. I’ve been in love, and felt heartbreak and yearning, and that movie felt very real and beautiful.”

On Bughead and Betty’s mom: “I think she has found a true companion in Jughead, and I just hope she continues to be at peace with her mom. They cause each other so many problems, but in the latter half of season two their bond really grows stronger. Betty is learning more about her mom’s past, and they’re connecting as two women. It’s something I find really powerful, you know? When you grow and start to see your parents as real people instead of as just mom and dad.”
