Camila Mendes Covers PORTER Magazine
Camila Mendes is on the cover of the new issue of PORTER magazine. The young actress is on the cover of the magazine to promote her new beauty line, Loops. Highlights from her interview are below.
On her character Drea in Do Revenge: “Characters like Drea don’t come around often. And they especially don’t come around often for Latinas. So I was like, I’ve really got to take advantage of this opportunity. I would hate myself if I had passed on it. I’ve also never played a character with so much depth and range. I felt like I did not have opportunities before then to really, like, act. That’s not to say Riverdale hasn’t given me opportunities to do that, but Do Revenge broadened the audience a little bit.”
On handling fame: “It feels like everyone’s competing for attention and there’s this real fear that, if you’re not relevant, if you’re not being talked about for something, then you’ll be forgotten and you won’t get work. That’s the only value fame adds to my life. Is this somehow directly relating to me booking a job? Because if it is, then I do care about it.”
