Camila Mendes Covers The July Issue Of Nylon Magazine

Camila Mendes is on the cover of the July issue of Nylon magazine. The young actress dons her best boho chic summer ensemble for this new shoot from the magazine. Highlights from her article are below.

On her love of acting: “As a child, I was very performative. I never really liked playing with stuffed animals. I liked being stuffed animals. It’s something that has always been a part of me. There was never really a clear moment where I was like, ‘Oh I am going to be an actor.’ I just kept doing it.”

On doing her Riverdale auditions with Lili Reinhart & Cole Sprouse: “I remember that moment so vividly, the three of us being in that room. I remember sitting next to Lili, being like, ‘So, where are you from?’ Just small talk before the audition. I remember talking with Cole. We bonded over the fact that we both sweat a lot before auditions. I was literally in the room with paper towels… I would keep them under my arms and right before they called my name I would just put them away.”

On voicing her own personal struggles: “I only recently started dealing with my own eating disorder. So, as I was dealing with it, it felt like it was a good opportunity to talk about that, because I’m still in that vulnerable state too. It’s not like, ‘Oh, I am so past that phase of my life. I’m so perfect and happy now.’ I’m still struggling and I’m still dealing with all of those things. I might always still struggle.”
