I Never Thought I'd See Lili Reinhart Without Blonde Hair
Getty Images When we first met actor Lili Reinhart in the pilot episode of the CW's Riverdale, her blonde hair was tied back in a perky ponytail, just like the comic-book version of her iconic character Betty Cooper. Though a lot changed for Betty during the series' seven seasons, one thing never did: that blonde hair! ("Dark Betty," as she was referred to when she wore a black bob wig, doesn't count.) After all, Betty Cooper is canonically blonde, and Reinhart has also been pretty faithful to her golden hair… until now, anyway. Reinhart is a blonde no more, as she revealed in a cute Instagram post announcing her latest role. She'll be playing Olive Smith, a biologist, in the film adaptation of Ali Hazelwood's extremely popular book The Love Hypothesis, and that means Reinhart had to ditch the blonde for awhile. Olive is brunette on the book cover, and Reinhart's hair is now the same shade: a light brunette color with a warm tone, somewhere between caramel and bronde. In her selfie, where she holds the book aloft so we can see the resemblance, she wears it styled just like Olive's, pulled back in a loose knot. Reinhart is also wearing what definitely looks to be a white lab coat, as well as a simple, shiny soap nail manicure. Fans were pumped about Reinhart's casting. (She'll also executive produce the movie.) Her Riverdale costar Madelaine Petsch commented, 'ahhhh i loved this book im so excited [sic]." Camila Mendes, a.k.a. Veronica Lodge, wrote, 'that's my girllll [sic].' Reinhart has experimented with different blonde tones in the past, including brighter shades befitting Betty Cooper and darker, more lived-in looks that veer more ash that platinum. As much as we love the blonde, it's fun seeing her experiment with something new, and we can't wait to see her take on the role of Olive in what this much-anticipated adaptation.

Why Gen Z is freaking out over The Love Hypothesis movie casting
What do you get when you mix 'Star Wars' Rey and Kylo fan fiction, a best-selling romance novel, a former 'Riverdale' star, and 'Star Wars' Daisy Ridley's real-life husband? Nope, not the start of a really niche pub quiz. This is the actual casting news behind 'The Love Hypothesis' you don't know what I am talking about, then don't worry, it'll all make sense in the next few minutes. I here's the thing. Ali Hazelwood, a renowned novelist, wrote a romantic-comedy novel called, and you guessed it, 'The Love Hypothesis'. It is about a third-year PhD candidate (Olive Smith) and a young professor (Adam Carlsen) who agree to fake date each other. Until Olive's best friend is convinced she is not single and definitely not in love with her best friend's crush. If you're a rom-com fan like me, I am sure this plot is calling for you. The book instantly became a fan favourite, and now they are converting it into a film. Now let's talk about why everybody (mostly me) is freaking out over the Hazelwood's 'The Love Hypothesis' didn't start as a story dedicated to the genre (rom-com). It was originally fan fiction. Yes, Hazelwood, just like most of us, was fangirling (more like geeking) over 'Star Wars'. I mean, who wouldn't? And she was absolutely obsessed with Rey and Kylo Ren's relationship in the movie. And she wanted to write a cute romantic story filled with some comic scenes here and there.I am sure now you have some idea where this is leading to. If not? Here's more. Recently, the announcement for the book's adaptation came through. And 'Riverdale' star Lili Reinhart was announced to play Olive. But the real twist that no one saw coming (except maybe Tumblr circa 2016) was the casting of Tom Bateman as Adam Carlsen. Tom Bateman is the real-life husband of Daisy Ridley. Why is this a big deal? Because Daisy Ridley played Rey in 'Star Wars'. Yes, the same Rey who was the inspiration behind Olive's character. Honestly, you couldn't write this. Except someone literally 'Star Wars' fan fiction was posted online under the title 'Head Over Feet', with the OG couple. It got picked up by a publisher. The lightsabers were swapped for lab coats, but the core dynamic? Still there. Olive's socially awkward brilliance? Peak Rey. Adam's emotionally repressed academia? Classic Kylo. So, yes, 'The Love Hypothesis' has deep nerd roots, and I mean that in the most affectionate way possible. Now to Tom might know him from 'Death on the Nile', 'Behind Her Eyes', or 'Vanity Fair'. He's got serious screen presence, brooding, charming, and effortlessly intense. Basically, he was built to play Professor Adam Carlsen. And when you factor in the fact that he's married to Daisy Ridley? That casting choice hits on so many online are losing it, naturally. One person wrote, 'He's married to Daisy Ridley. OMG full circle moment.' Another declared it 'the best uno reverse card in casting history.' Someone else chimed in with, 'Not Adam but Rey's husband playing Adam perfection.' Honestly? Fair let's not forget Lili Reinhart, who's not only starring as Olive but producing the film too. She's been vocal about wanting to do justice to this story, and between her casting and this cosmic Bateman-Ridley twist, it's safe to say the fans are being if you haven't read the book, or don't know your Adam Carlsen from your Adam Driver, there is still something for you in store. If you're into rom-coms, emotionally complex science nerds, or geek out over fan theories that somehow become real, 'The Love Hypothesis' deserves a spot on your Because this casting is chaotic in the best way. A character inspired by Daisy Ridley's Rey now played opposite her real-life husband? That's fan fiction logic turned cinematic reality. It's unhinged in the most deliciously meta way, and it's got the internet in a yeah, grab your popcorn, fire up the group chat, and get ready to spiral. This one's for book lovers, fandom kids, and anyone who lives for a full-circle moment. You couldn't script even if you tried.- Ends
