Camila Mendes, best known for her role in the hit TV show Riverdale, made an appearance on The Late Late Show with James Corden recently and shared some interesting details about her time in Venice and her love for a unique dating show called ‘Naked Attraction’.
During the interview, Mendes discussed her trip to the Venice Film Festival, where she attended various red carpet events as a representative for Armani Beauty. She even got the chance to watch the premiere of the movie Bones and witnessed the on-screen portrayal of cannibalism, which made her stomach growl since she hadn’t eaten dinner before the screening. Despite the subject matter, she admitted that the film was beautifully made and well-received by audiences.
The conversation then shifted towards award shows, and Mendes confessed that the publicity events surrounding such shows can be exhausting. She mentioned that a few years ago, she found herself attending multiple panels and events due to being involved with two nominated movies, The Post and Get Out. She recalled a particularly memorable incident at the Independent Spirit Awards, where she suddenly fell ill and lost consciousness. Fortunately, actor John Hamm was there to catch her and reassure her that everything would be okay.
As the interview continued, Mendes shared her experiences of being in London over the summer while shooting a movie. Despite her busy work schedule, she found time to indulge in one of her favorite UK shows, ‘Naked Attraction’. She described the show as both incredibly objectifying and liberating, as contestants stand behind pods that gradually reveal their naked bodies to a potential match. The show becomes a process of elimination based on various body parts and physical attributes, leading to an awkward but intriguing final date where the selected individuals must face each other completely unclothed.
James Corden, always ready with a witty remark, jokingly admitted that he was familiar with the show but had missed the chance to participate. Camila also took the opportunity to discuss her upcoming movie, where she plays a high school student involved in a revenge pact. She jokingly mentioned that this may be her last high school role, but assured viewers that she would go out with a bang.
Camila Mendes certainly knows how to captivate an audience, both on and off the screen. Her interviews are always filled with amusing anecdotes and candid moments. Fans of ‘Riverdale’ and ‘Naked Attraction’ will surely appreciate her lively personality and willingness to share her experiences while promoting her latest projects.
