Madelaine Petsch Calls Late Co-Star Luke Perry Her 'Oracle'

Madelaine Petsch shows off her chic Prive Revaux sunglasses in this cute shot from Seventeen‘s new digital issue.

Here’s what the 25-year-old Riverdale actress had to say:

On the death of Luke Perry: “Luke was my oracle throughout Riverdale. He was on 90210 and had done all this work, so anytime I had any questions, he opened his door to me. He was such a kind and loving soul, and he was so generous. He was the kind of actor that gave you everything when he worked with you.”

On her vlog and letting her fans in on who she really is: “I want them to know that I’m weird and funny and I love people. If they still have bad assumptions, then that’s on them, not on me.”

On how her role on Riverdale helped her get some closure on the bullying she experienced when she was younger: “I’ve learned the mindset of the people who bullied me very well because Cheryl’s been a bully on the show. I’ve learned that the people who’ve made the most fun of me as a kid probably had their own sh*t that they were going through. And so they were taking it out on other people. And that breaks my heart.”
