| Quotes: |
[on getting attention from women based on his shirtless social media posts] I haven't had anyone come up to me and ask to lick or touch my abs in person but the thirst is very real, it's kinda narly.
<br />
<hr>
[on whether it is intimidating to be sexualized on screen as Archie] Not intimidating at all. When I do sexual scenes I'm always thinking that I have a lot of family back home watching this. When I read the pilot though, it wasn't difficult for me to see that's the direction they were taking. Every single episode I have my shirt off so inevitably, it's going to be gnarly.
<br />
<hr>
[on being inspired by any celebrity's physical transformation] Zac Efron! He got fully jacked and shredded for the movie Baywatch. It was insane. I couldn't believe it. I couldn't believe it when I saw it. I was like holy cow. |
