KJ Apa has spoken candidly about his battle with an eating disorder during his time filming Riverdale, revealing how the pressure to maintain a muscular physique led him into an unhealthy cycle of binge eating, purging and obsessive behaviour around food.
The New Zealand actor made the admission during an appearance on the Wildmen podcast, where he reflected on the physical and mental challenges he faced while starring as Archie Andrews on the hit CW series.
