Career Highlights
Career: Mendes made her TV debut in an IKEA commercial, and she was cast on as Veronica Lodge on “Riverdale” in February 2016. Forced to leave her privileged life in New York City after her father, Hiram, is arrested for fraud and embezzlement, Veronica manages to make good grades at Riverdale High while running a speakeasy and trying to thwart Hiram’s evil plots. Mendes has shown off her singing abilities in numerous episodes of the series, including the musical episodes “Chapter Thirty-One: A Night to Remember,” “Chapter Fifty-One: Big Fun,” and “Chapter Seventy-Four: Wicked Little Town.” Camila’s first film was 2018’s “The New Romantic,” and in 2019, she appeared in “The Perfect Date” and “Coyote Lake.” In 2020, Mendes appeared in the television special “Dear Class of 2020,” the web series “Celebrity Substitute,” and the films “Palm Springs” and “Dangerous Lies,” and she lent her voice to “The Hateful Eight-Year-Olds” episode of “The Simpsons.” Camila also appeared in two 2018 music videos, The Chainsmokers’ “Side Effects” and Maggie Rogers’ “Give a Little.” In late 2020, it was announced that Mendes had been cast in the Netflix film “Strangers” alongside “Stranger Things” star Maya Hawke.
Family and Personal Life
Personal Life: Camila began a relationship with her “Riverdale” co-star Charles Melton in August 2018, and in December 2019, it was reported that the couple had split up a few months earlier. In November 2019, Mendes adopted an adorable Maltipoo puppy, Truffle, from the Los Angeles animal rescue organization the Labelle Foundation. In March 2020, Camila called the puppy her “cuddly lil quarantine companion” and encouraged her Instagram followers to foster an animal while they’re spending so much time at home. Mendes identifies as Latin American and speaks Portuguese. She has experienced discrimination in Hollywood, and in a 2017 interview with “People Chica,” she stated, “I often hear things like, ‘You don’t look Latina enough,’ and that mentality is so backwards. The fact is: I am Latina, so how are you going to tell me that I don’t look Latina?”
