You know Lili Reinhart as Riverdale's very own goody two-shoes turned private detective, but there's so much more to the actress than you would ever imagine! Here's everything to know about Lili, like where she's from, how she got into acting, and where all of her tats are located.
1. She's starring as a stripper in a new movie.
Someone grab a black wig because Dark Betty is coming back. No, not on Riverdale, unfortunately, but Lili will be playing a stripper in Hustlers, a new movie starring Jennifer Lopez, Cardi B, Constance Wu, Keke Palmer, AND Julia Stiles. Now that's what I call a cast!
Inspired by a 2016 New York Magazine article, Hustlers will follow a group of strip club employees who join together to seek revenge on some of their Wall Street clients. A stripper is pretty much the exact opposite of Lili's current role on Riverdale, but luckily she's already gotten some practice on the pole.
Apparently though, she needed a little more practice because she recently posted a pic on her Instagram story at what looks like a pole dancing class, prepping for the movie.
"Really nailing this whole pole thing," she wrote on top of a pic of her fully upside down sliding down a poll.
Honestly, I'm extremely impressed. She's already looking like a pro, and she's doing it in high af heels! It seems like Betty has come a long way from her days at the White Wyrm.
If you can't wait to see her star in the movie, you'll have to settle for this instead. We officially have the first look of Lili on the set of Hustlers.
We got a peek of Lili in hair and makeup and a video of her hanging with J. Lo, Constance and Keke on top of a rooftop in NYC. Our only question is: what should we do to get in on this girl squad?!
For now, we'll be keeping our eyes peeled for new photos from set.
2. She's not starring in an episode of Pretty Little Liars: The Perfectionists.
Sorry Perfectionist fans, but the rumors that Lili Reinhart is starring in an episode of the new Pretty Little Liars spin-off is just, well, a rumor. Lili hilariously set the record straight on her Insta story when she posted a tweet about the fake announcement, which stated that Lili would be playing Ursula Winters, Caitlin's friend and track captain, on an upcoming episode.
The next pic shows a Twitter user named Amy Reinhart simply replying "nope," to which the original poster, @hayleyerin, responded, "and who are you? I think I know more about Lili than you do."
Unfortunately for @hayleyerin, Amy Reinhart isn't simply a fan of Lili's who adopted the actress' last name for her Twitter handle, she is, in fact Lili's mom, as another Twitter user pointed out.
Obviously Lili found the whole exchange hilarious as she shared it on Instagram, finishing off the screenshots by simply writing "LOL" on a black background. And while I'm devastated that this Riverdale/Perfectionists crossover isn't actually happening, this hilarious interaction is lessoning the blow.
3. She was born on September 13th, 1996 in Cleveland, Ohio.
4. Around the age of 10, she developed a relentless passion for the arts and began singing, dancing, and acting.
She allegedly begged her mom to drive her all the way to New York all the time for auditions.
5. At the age of 18, she moved to Los Angeles to pursue acting professionally.
She talks about this time in her life as filled with great anxiety and depression because no one would take her professional dreams seriously!
6. After five months in Los Angeles, she felt defeated and decided to move home.
She actually almost gave up acting, forever.
7. However, then she sent in a last minute audition tape for the role of Betty Cooper.
Her career obviously immediately took off from there.
8. Regardless of her skyrocketing fame, she's still really close with her family.
9. She also has four tattoos!
Although she covers them up on-screen.
10. She admits to rarely wearing makeup off-screen.
However, she can def slay the halloween makeup vibes.
11. She's genuinely close with her Riverdale co-stars.
Her and Camilla Mendes are genuinely best friends in real life. They hangout all the time.
12. She's dating Cole Sprouse.
13. She is doing her own makeup this season.
Lili previously revealed that she is doing her own makeup this season and she went a little deeper to make sure that she's playing the real Alice Cooper in the 90s.
"I was definitely looking a lot of Twin Peaks photo references to make sure that I got the eyebrows right," Reinhardt told Variety, "The Mac lip pencil Spice I use, she used back in the day. So, yeah, I did my research!"
