Madelaine Petsch Talks Cheryl, Jane & More with Schön! Magazine

Madelaine Petsch is featured in Schön! Magazine. The actress sat down with the magazine to talk Cheryl’s sexuality, speaking to the Riverdale creative team regarding her sexuality, books, her new project, Jane, and so much more. Highlights can be found below.

On speaking to the Riverdale team regarding Cheryl’s sexuality: “I’ve always been somebody who’s not afraid to speak their mind despite being a woman in a complicated industry that has been dominated by men, although it is changing slowly but surely. I’m lucky, though — the producers created an environment for us to feel comfortable and confident expressing our opinions in a way that it never felt scary to me. Obviously they agreed with me and made it happen.”

On her new film, Jane: “Before getting the script to Jane I had never seen or read a project that depicted anxiety in the way that it affects me. It resonated with me with how I feel about my own anxiety, how you can feel like a prisoner and trapped with it. When you include social media in the mix, especially in regards to failure, feeling like an outcast, and losing a friend to suicide, there’s so much pressure that adds to that anxiety. I don’t think I’ve seen a film that shows that struggle authentically.”
