On Thursday, August 18, Lily Reinhart revealed some secrets about the CW’s romance scene in a new interview with the Happy Sad Confused podcast. As the 25-year-old actress talks about dabbling in different and more serious roles, she revealed a little behind-the-scenes knowledge of how the Riverdale actors perform romantic scenes.
When she was promoting her new Netflix film Look Both Ways, she revealed how acting in the new film was different from her experience at Riverdale. She also pulled the curtain slightly when it came to wanting to play more adult roles. “On The CW, you can only be an adult because you’re not even allowed to kiss with your tongue,” she said. “This side of things is a little bit different.”
Lily started talking about playing roles that would help her “propel” the next phase of her acting career. While she’s probably best known as Betty Cooper, the lead actress on the hit series Riverdale, her new film, Look Both Ways, shows her as a recent college graduate exploring two very different possibilities: staying Back home and become a mom or chase your dreams in Los Angeles, according to IMDb.
When Riverdale ended season seven, Lily also revealed the type of role she was seeking to star in. “Definitely characters you haven’t seen me in. I’m an adult! I’m an adult woman, and I’m going to start playing those more mature roles,” she said.
While Lily looks forward to expanding her repertoire as an actress in the future, after six seasons on the series, Lily and her Riverdale co-stars seem to have a special bond. Back in March, Lily took to TikTok with her actor Camila Mendes to learn about their past relationships with actors Cole Sprouse and Charles Melton, respectively. Charles Melton).
