Life for the Riverdale forged hasn’t at all times been milkshakes and musical numbers.
Cole Sprouse recently revealed the darker side of being involved with the beloved show—a byproduct of fans’ deep investment within the actors’ fictional characters and offscreen relationships. (He and costar Lili Reinhart dated from 2017 to 2020 while forged members Camila Mendes and Charles Melton dated for a yr starting in 2018.)
“I get a whole lot of stuff sent to my house or my family members’ houses,” the 31-year-old told Vulture in a gaggle interview with the show’s forged published August 13. “Death threats, really nasty, truthfully criminal stuff. And I do think it’s because a minimum of 4 of us at this table have dated our co-workers.”
And while they were dating IRL, their characters were romantically intertwined onscreen: Jughead Jones and Betty Cooper, Cole and Lili’s respective characters, were linked for several seasons while Camila’s character Veronica Lodge briefly romances Charles’ Reggie Mantle.
“Is that only a consequence of an incredible love?” Cole continued. “Or is that what fanaticism looks like? Perhaps because those lines were blurred to our audience, it’s hard to interrupt those things up when life moves on.”
