Luke Perry’s tragic death was a massive shock to the entire world, and while his family mourns him, so does his television family from Riverdale.
So how are they coping with his loss? Cole Sprouse, who plays Jughead Jones on The CW show, says they’re “recovering”.
Sprouse discussed the sad news while promoting his new film Five Feet Apart on Thursday (March 7)
“We’re recovering, yeah. It’s obviously not the easiest thing to talk about, but he was well-loved and there’s been an outpouring of emotional support from people around the world, which just goes to show what a wonderful person he was and how much he impacted people’s lives and impacted our lives. But I know that his family has requested privacy during this period and I respect that quite a bit,” he said.
It comes after last night’s episode had a touching tribute to the late star, who played Fred Andrews.

Perry passed away on Monday (March 4) following a stroke.
