Riverdale: Not Dealing With The Blackhood, But THIS Is The Real Struggle For KJ Apa AKA Archie Andrews!

“Riverdale” star KJ Apa says essaying role of Archie Andrews in the popular show came as a challenge as he struggles to find time to go to gym.

“I try to go to the gym every day, but it’s hard. It’s a grind. That’s probably one of the hardest things to tackle with this role, because when you’re working so long on set, you’ve also got to find time to work out as well,” Apa said when asked how does he prepare for the physical aspect of the role.

“I’ve got my shirt off pretty much every episode, so it’s tough. It’s probably one of the hardest parts for me; especially because I enjoy my own time and I don’t want to be heading to the gym all the time. Maybe one day I’ll be able to ask them to give me a gym on set. That would be good. All the weights on set are fake, so I can’t use them,” he added.

Based on characters from Archie Comics, the show follows the story of the residents of Riverdale. The fourth season of the show is currently on air in India on Colors Infinity.
