Person most likely to get stuck on a desert island and why? KJ. KJ said you. Why? He said something about driving. Maybe you're not the best driver. These are all his words by the way. I'm not. That was one time KJ.

Hey guys, it's Audrey in the Young Hollywood Studio. You know her as Veronica in Riverdale. But she's more commonly known as Camila Mendes. What's up?

Hi.

Okay, can we talk about The dark hair?

The dark hair? Yeah. Dark hair power, right? My hair's normally not this dark, they dye it for the show.

I love it. It looks so

They make it darker than it already was.

Are you are you embracing it?

I am. I like it. But you know I I missed the I missed the brown. I missed just that little hue of brown.

How many how much lighter is it? Right now?

Yeah. No, no, no. Your your natural brown hair. Oh, not that much. I mean, it's just like a dark brown. Okay. But but this is like blue-black.

Yeah. No. I love it. It's perfect. It's darker, you know. I feel like more like edgy. I told you at WonderCon that I'm obsessed with your eyebrows. I know that sounds really creepy, but I know that I am not the only one.

I mean, I used to I used to pluck them a lot. And then now I've just kind of I'm letting them grow into it. Cole said he's growing out a unibrow. And I was like, maybe I'll grow one out too.

You guys should have

Maybe we'll maybe we'll start a trend.

I feel like if there's anyone who'd start a trend, it would be the cast of Riverdale for sure.

I would love to be the leader of the monobrow.

The monobrow. Yes, yes, the monobrow. You have to trademark that at some point. Well, congratulations. You guys are doing so well. Uh, did you expect that there would be this kind of fan frenzy around the show when you signed on?

I mean, it's one of those shows that kind of calls for like a big like cult fan base, but you never know when you release a show. You just have no idea if it's going to be a big hit or not. So, I'm very glad that we've had a lot of positive feedback.

So, I just want to pit this to you. Are you a Jughead or are you an Archie? Betty and Veronica, that's too easy. Like, but I want to know about the boys.

Jughead and Archie is too hard. I feel like I'm neither. I was never like a sporty. I'm more of a Kevin to be honest. I guess a Jughead but I was never an outsider either in high school. Okay. Actually, I was I guess I was an Archie.

You were an Archie. You were a jock.

A little bit. I wasn't a jock. I was just kind of like friends with everyone. You know what I mean? Yeah, yeah. Just kind of. But I wasn't as clueless as he was. I think I had a better idea of what I wanted.

I want to play a little game with you that we've been doing with everybody who's come into this studio. It's called Riverdale Rapid Fire. So, your so your co-stars have done this already. And they had some interesting answers. So, I'm just going to throw out a couple couple questions and you name who from the cast you think this is most appropriate.

Oh, okay. Got it.

So who's most likely to off an enemy?

To off an enemy? What does that mean? Just Oh. Yeah. Oof. Madelaine.

Ooh. We haven't heard that answer before.

Really?

Mhm. Cole said you.

What? Me? I'm so kind. Yes. I don't know. I mean I mean We're talking about people, right? Not characters?

We're talking about people.

Oh yeah. No. He said Camila. It's cuz he he always says I'm a spicy Latina.

That sounds like something he would say.

Yes. Yes.

Okay. I like that. I like that. She's a little too convincing as as character, huh? Person you'd most like to be stuck on a desert island with.

Lili. Naturally.

You ladies are BFFs off screen.

Yes.

I love what do you guys do away from set?

Um, we went to a pool party yesterday. Oh. I mean, I don't know. We just we just do normal. We go to like shopping and eat food and just hang out. We self-tape with each other. She's my self-tape buddy.

Love it. Love it. Person most likely to get stuck on a desert island and why? KJ. KJ said you. Why? I think there was something about

He did. Yes.

He said something about driving. And maybe you're not the best driver. These are all his words by the way. I'm not

That was one time KJ. Oh my gosh.

Please elaborate. What happened?

I just almost like made a left where you were couldn't go left, you know what I mean? Like I was like, I was like But I never actually did it. You know, like, the one-way street.

But you made you went down the wrong way on a one-way street.

I almost did. Like, I was like waiting to go left and he's like, you can't make a left turn. I was like, all right. But it was like 5:00 in the morning. We were driving to set. Like, it was, you know.

Oh. What's his problem then? He's just

Yeah, no. No. Okay. I'm a great driver. Okay. I'm a great driver.

Did you hear that KJ Apa? Mom, Dad? Yes. Like, so why why is KJ most likely to get stuck on a desert island?

Cuz he's always just like Cuz he's a little bit of an Archie himself. Like, clueless, you know, just like But so pretty to look at.

Yeah. Well like, people who are pretty to look at always are a little bit, you know. I'm kidding. What are you saying about your cast mate?

I'm just getting back at him for saying I'm a bad driver cuz I'm not.

Well, Lili said the same thing.

That I'm a bad driver? No.

That you you would get most likely you'd be most likely to get stuck on a desert island.

Oh my gosh. She's like I'm very emotional about it.

I know. I'm sorry. I'm not trying. I'm not trying to start stuff. I promise. Or am I? I don't know. It's Riverdale. Like, everybody's starting stuff. All right. Well, most likely to have the most secrets.

Um, that's a good one. Cole.

I think KJ said that too. I could be wrong, but it's like

He's full of secrets. We don't know what he's hiding. We don't know what he's hiding. No. Child stars always have secrets, you know. Just comes with the territory.

Ooh, we have to find out what You have to find out what those secrets are and then come back and report.

I will. I'm gonna I'm good at getting secrets. That's for sure.

What else can we expect from this show because I feel like there's so many twists and turns?

I mean, you can definitely expect more twists and turns. Yeah. It's hard for me to, you know, every time we do get interviewed, we always joke about how hard it is to talk about the show without ruining things, you know what I mean? Because there's so many almost every five minutes there's like a new reveal. So, whenever we're like trying to talk about it, we're like, oh, wait. No, I can't say that. Um, and then we just end up giving very like vague answers. So people are like, okay.

Right. Yeah. Yeah. And then that's when all the fan theories kind of go nuts.

Yes. And we kind of want them to go nuts, you know. We want them we want to hear their theories.

This was so fun. Please find out all of Cole's childhood star secrets.

I will.

And please report them back and put them on blast because he put you on blast. I feel like you guys need to get back at him.

I need to get him back. Maybe I'm I'm most likely to off an enemy. I I do know. And that enemy is KJ and Cole.

I'd like to stage a reunion here and just have you guys like work it out. Just, you know. Like a Dr. Phil session. Totally. Totally. But I'll do the opposite of whatever it is that Dr. Phil does and just let you guys like, I don't know. Yeah. Arm wrestle or something.

They can catch me outside. How 'bout that? How 'bout that? How 'bout that?
