“By the end of the first episode, we will know who shot Fred,” Roberto said before saying that some of our favorite characters will be going through some major changes in season 2.
Riverdale returns on Wednesday, October 11 on The CW.
Watch the season one blooper reel and season 2 trailer below!
The Riverdale star was seen cuddling with the new and feisty puppy, who calls The Flash‘s Candice Patton mom.
Lili Reinhart caught the little cuddle session after the casts had checked into their hotel for 2017 Comic-Con in San Diego, Calif., on Friday (July 21).
“He’s gonna steal her,” Lili wrote on the video with Cole, before having some cuddle time with Zoe herself.
Zoe even gave KJ Apa a little kiss on his forehead. So cute!
The Riverdale star started it, aiming to catch people trying to take pics of him in public without being noticed.
“It started because I was pissed off,” he told Wonderland mag. “I try to approach a lot of the strange trappings of celebrity and the culture with comedy…the actions and feelings and vibes that people put off when they’re about to do something like that is so obvious and comical that it begs a duel.”
But his mission in shaming those who try, was turned into something that they actually wanted — they wanted to be on that account. It’s their claim to fame, so to speak.
“That was an oversight on my behalf,” Cole adds. “I should have seen that coming!”
It’s difficult to imagine Cole Sprouse in real life being at all similar to the introverted self-proclaimed “weirdo” Jughead he plays on-screen, but in a new interview he opens up about how he could actually connect with the character pretty well.
“It felt like a role that I could really dive into,” he told Wonderland Magazine, “Of course I’m pulling off of lived experience for the character as well…There comes a real loneliness in celebrity where you’re constantly told you’re part of an out group in your own society.”
“We were at this point of recognisability where we couldn’t even walk around anymore,” he said, “I was really socially anxious and strange.”
“This whole last year and a half has been a process of me discovering if this is still the right choice or not,” he continued. “I don’t think I’ll ever be completely satisfied with the answer, because I have an entire lifetime of critical thinking to complicate why this choice is so big and it comes from childhood and all this, yada yada yada…I felt ready for it and that’s an important indicator.”
He also revealed in the same interview that he considered giving up acting forever!
It’s important to remember that as glamorous as celebrities’ lives seem on social media, there is definitely a struggle that comes with identifiability and being judged by the world. We’re so glad he decided to step back into the limelight.
Cole Sprouse has many jobs titles right now — actor, photographer, comedian.
But one that you probably thought would have to wait on for a while — director — may be coming sooner, rather than later.
In his interview with Wonderlandmagazine, Cole opened up about the thoughts of stepping behind the camera again, but as a director instead of a photographer.
“I’ve considered it very heavily because I’ve had the encouragement of a lot of people,” Cole says. “I think my brother and I’s upbringing is reserved for such a small percentage…child stardom since you’re eight months old is something that’s very, very rare.”
“The narratives that have come out of that between my brother and I, I feel they deserve a more public discussion but I think I have a lot to learn and I need to take the time educate myself.”
“We’ll see,” the Riverdale star adds, giving all his fans more than one reason to celebrate.
While he’s not saying it would be Riverdale, it could be.
“I’m very specific and critical of myself so if I do come out with something, it’s got to be up to a standard that I’m sure I approve of,” Cole adds. “We’ll see!”
Now that we know Cole Sprouse as Jughead, it’s difficult to imagine anyone else ever taking on the role — but it turns out, if Cole weren’t offered his memorable Riverdale part, he might have been done with acting for good.
In a revealing interview with Wonderland Magazine, Cole gets real about the struggle of fame and his relationship with acting before Riverdale.
After graduating from New York University, the 24-year-old actor left New York to visit California for exactly one week, and he told his manager that if he didn’t book anything for pilot season he was “never coming back to this.”
He also spoke about the challenge of being famous and how he connects with Jughead’s character on a personal level, as he often feels lonely as a celebrity.
We’re so glad he was offered the Riverdale role that week, because it changed all of our lives, and we hope he will continue on for many future seasons.
