Cole Sprouse talks Five Feet Apart, singing on-screen and Riverdale season 4
Cole Sprouse recently starred in the film Five Feet Apart, which tells the story of two cystic fibrosis patients for end up falling for each other, only to be unable to physically interact due to the risk of cross-contamination with their condition.
Speaking to PopBuzz about the film earlier this year, Cole Sprouse also discussed his hopes for his character Jughead in the fourth season of Riverdale, which will be out at some point later this year.
“I think when Riverdale is at its strongest it's about the characters, their dynamics, their personal narratives and their relationships with one another. And I think Jughead asking himself how his family has affected him is what I'd kind of like to see,” he explained.
“But I also think I'd love to see a Jughead that feels kind of like a season one Jughead, which is much more of a quiet sort of monologue side. I think there's a lot of potential and a lot of interesting narratives this season in the form of FP and Jughead teaming up and playing the True Detective crime investigator father/son duo. I think there's something really enjoyable about Jughead being the brain and FP being the brawn of that investigation. That's something I'd personally like to see going into season 4.”
