Several fans of the American series “Riverdale” were green with envy that a Filipina video blogger snagged a lucky encounter with the show’s cast.
Janina Vela, an 18-year-old who has charmed at least 258,400 followers on YouTube for her make-up tutorials, flew to California last week to attend the widely known Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival.
During the event, she got the chance to meet some of the stars of “Riverdale,” including Cole Sprouse (Jughead), Ross Butler (Reggie), Lili Reinhart (Betty), Casey Cott (Kevin) and Camila Mendes (Veronica). She posted her picture with the gang on Instagram, which resulted in an online meltdown of Filipino fans’ hearts.
“Do you know who can rest in peace now? my Riverdale heart,” she captioned the photo. Vela also updated her other social media accounts with her “dreamy selfie” with Sprouse, which again made netizens envy her.
