ZannoL 02/24/21 3:56:45 PM #1:	https://bit.ly/2NFit7P KJ Apa is opening up. The 23-year-old *Riverdale* star posed for a series of pictures shot by Christopher Sherman, styled by MelOttenberg, for Interview, along with a conversation with Demi Moore. *On Riverdale:* Theres been so much pressure in playing Archie. Im so grateful for the show and its success, but at the same time, theres a lot of baggage that comes with that success. I feel like the only people I can talk to about my issues are my costars, the people who can really relate to me. Cole [Sprouse, who plays Jughead Jones] is an amazing person to have on set, because hes been doing this his whole life. I try and look at it from a fans perspective to understand the way they think. But there are times when Im like, Wow, they really have no idea that we are actual people. They cant separate us from our characters. You dont have that in other professions. You dont dissect the life of a builder and start judging the decisions he makes in his life with his wife and kids. As an actor, I will be judged on everything: my political opinions, my opinions on drugs, my opinions on the people I want to be with. Everything. Its something Ive had to come to terms with. On Luke Perrys guidance: Having Luke [Perry] on the show was such a blessing for me. When I was first experiencing success,Luke had a way of just quashing it and being like, Youre only as important as the PA sitting over there. He knew everyones name. Sometimes people talk about our job as this really important thing, like no one else can do it. Luke had the ability to be like, Step on your mark. Stay in line. Go home. Show up on time. Treat people with respect. I loved that about him. On self-care: Im trying to get better at doing things for myself first. I feel like I need to do things all the time for other people. Im trying to learn that if Im not really being kind to myself, then Im not going to be able to help the people who really love me. <cite>ZannoL posted [p:951029100] in Riverdale ...
