Charles Melton interview with The Associated Press

Fame didn’t come overnight for Charles Melton. The 32-year-old former "Riverdale" actor has dutifully been chipping away at his resume since he moved to Los Angeles more than a decade ago. But his role opposite Julianne Moore and Natalie Portman in “May December” has notched him a spot as one of The Associated Press’ Breakthrough Entertainers of 2023. He sat down with AP entertainment journalist Krysta Fauria to talk about watching movies with his dad, those early odd jobs in LA - and taking a moment to breathe.

May December is a trip.
Todd Haynes constantly pushes and pulls audience's perceptions of the film .You don't know what genre you're exactly watching: Horror, Comedy, Tragedy . However, it's Melton's physical performance and astonishing interiority that finally grounds the whole film to its devastatingly authentic emotional core.
