KJ What from Riverdale has appeared on screen topless many times for his shows, but apparently, it messed with his mental health.
KJ Apa, Sex Symbol

Playing Archie in the dark drama is coming to an end for Apa, but he revealed that playing a sex symbol all this time made him feel weird. “It can mess with your head a little bit,” shared the 26-year-old actor vulture
In a candid roundtable discussion, he said, “I’ve been through a lot with that stuff.” He wanted to be taken more seriously, and becoming a father changed that. Marrying his child’s mother Clara Berry was also a big turning point.
Plus, the maintenance is killing it. “You always have to stay in great shape. It takes a toll,” he admitted, saying he couldn’t talk about his feelings. Despite saying that I was uncomfortable, I had a hard time with it. I think people will be like, ‘Why not? Just f**king do it, bro.’”
KJ What Do You Think That’s Cool

The actor was initially not very against it. At 19, getting paid to take your shirt off is a dream job for some. “At first, as a kid, that’s me, I thought it was great.”
He continued, “You almost want the chance to be shirtless. I’m like, ‘Yeah, let me take my shirt off. Boom!'” The actor is willing to transform himself for acting, and a six-pack is par for the course.
“There’s a part of my identity that I want to get back that I don’t feel connected to,” he shared, and that’s his mission now that the show is over.
KJ What Changed Other Things

Another physical feature that Apa had to change to play the main character Archie was his hair. The comic book character is famous for her bright red hair, so Apa is adapting, but that doesn’t mean she wants to be a redhead for the rest of her life.
“I’ve been walking around with red hair for the past seven years,” she says, and she’s definitely looking forward to “not having red hair.”
Body image issues are something that seem to play an important role on the set of the show. Co-stars like Lili Reinhart have opened up about how the show has affected her body image. Playing Betty Cooper was difficult for her at times.
“It’s really hard growing up on this show and always seeing images of myself when I was 19, 20, 21. My body doesn’t look like that anymore.” he is now 26 years old and wants something different.

Reinhart, like Apa, wanted to focus on her age and play someone more natural to her. “Just as an actor in general, you feel like you hold yourself to a consistent standard of ‘I can’t age, and I have to keep looking like me.'”
Petsche plays Cheryl Blossom and finds that even now, she struggles to be happy with her body. “The other day, I had to do a lingerie shoot, and I was so disgusted with my body that I cried,” she shared.
“I tried on six outfits and finally found something that made me feel good.”
Yikes. It seems that this show has an effect on the actors.
