K.J. Apa Covers The New Issue Of ASOS Magazine

K.J. Apa is on the cover of the new issue of ASOS magazine. The young actor is on the cover to promote the new episodes of his hit show, Riverdale. Highlights from the interview are below.

On fame: “The weird thing is that it used to be people calling me by my character’s name — now people come up to me in the street and know my name. Some people touch you and I had a hard time with people feeling like they can have that intimacy with me. Experiencing what it’s like to be on a huge TV show has given me perspective on people. The attention is strange and not comfortable. You put yourself in their shoes and think, ‘If I saw someone like that, what would I do?'”

On pressure in the industry: “As soon as I started being on camera so much, I became self-conscious, which I never was [before]. Now I look in the mirror and feel unhappy with… whatever. The fact I have to look a certain way for the show, that can be pressuring. There are positives to that too. I’ve found my own style when it comes to fashion. I love monochromatic colors, being in one color.”
