She decided to finish school online so she could focus on acting, self taping audition after audition. “I really have to give credit to my mom who went out of her way to help me pursue these options as a young 13-, 14-year-old, who was like, ‘I just want to act.’”Īt 16, her family moved from Ohio to North Carolina. “I didn’t come from anyone who knew anything about the industry,” she said. This eventually translated into attending open casting calls and taking eight-hour drives to New York City for auditions. She had theater-kid tendencies, which her family encouraged. Her father worked in sales, and her mother worked in home health care. Reinhart grew up in Cleveland, the middle of three sisters. In a poem from her new book, “Swimming Lessons,” which hit bookstores this week, she put it another way: “I’ve only told the world/ what I feel,/ not how to overcome./ It feels fraudulent to be given/ a pat on the back/ for simply telling the truth.” That’s the only way that I can get through it,” Ms. “I’m the kind of person where, if I’m struggling with something, I need to talk about it. “Is that something that I necessarily would have tried to seek out? No, but I’m glad that that’s how it happened.”Īs she sees it, she’s just being honest. Reinhart, 24, said in a video call from the backyard of an Airbnb in Vancouver, where “Riverdale” is filming. “I had no idea three years ago that I’d be known as the girl who talks about her depression all the time,” Ms. She didn’t set out to make candor her calling card.
She has also been vocal about women’s reproductive rights, white privilege, her disapproval of President Trump and the public’s undying fascination with Brad Pitt and Jennifer Aniston.
The star of the popular teen soap “Riverdale” has openly discussed her struggles with anxiety, depression and body dysmorphia. Lili Reinhart has been outspoken for almost as long as she’s been famous.
