KJ Apa on What It's Like to Film Sex Scenes
KJ Apa, the New Zealand import turned Riverdale star, captured hearts (and Instagram followers) when the show premiered in 2017. The hit CW show was just renewed for its third season, so it looks like Apa isn't going anywhere anytime soon. He answered Cosmopolitan's most burning questions:
On shooting sex scenes:
“It’s weird with someone you don’t know that well. On a movie set, you have time to get to know the person and rehearse before shooting. Camila [Mendes, who plays Veronica] and I just had to dive into it. Now that we’re friends, it’s easier.”
On what it's like to date in New Zealand:
“Guys in the States are a lot more confident than guys in New Zealand. There, if you go out with your mates, you all hang with one another because you’re too scared to talk to the girls. Being in the U.S. has made me way more confident. Also, having a New Zealand accent increases your chances by like 50 percent.”

On why it's okay to be nervous:
“I’m a thrill seeker. I’m keen on adventurous stuff, like bungee jumping. I
still get nervous- you can’t help it when you’re falling a hundred meters-and I feel nerves every day on set. But I think if you don’t feel nervous about
something, it’s not important to you.”
On why he loves a good Hollywood romance:
“Whenever I watch movies, it’s romcoms. If you looked at my Netflix history, that’s the only thing you’d see. They make me forget about everything else that’s going on. My favorite is Four Christmases-I’ll absolutely watch that when it’s not even Christmas.”
