Lili Reinhart Chats Staying Healthy & Diversity With LA Times

Lili Reinhart sat down with LA Times to discuss her new film, Chemicals Heart. The young actress has just returned to Vancouver to begin work on the new season of Riverdale. Highlights from her interview below.

On staying healthy during a pandemic: “This pandemic has been incredibly hard, and it’s hard to stay positive. I want to post sad songs on my Instagram just like everyone else does. But I hold myself back, because I know I have millions of people watching me who want to dig through every little thing I post and try to figure out the meaning behind it.”

On diversity within Riverdale: “I mean, the show historically has been pretty white. Roberto is very conscious of it now to make sure that that doesn’t happen again and Vanessa doesn’t feel that she’s put in that position again. I feel as a producer now moving forward how important it is that I’m not stereotyping, stereocasting anything — really making sure I’m going out of my way to do right by Black people, by transgender people, by people who don’t look like me.”
