I would absolutely love to embody that." That’s how much work we as a people would have to do in this industry. Ultimately, Watson says that while "Theo is still a hot-headed little jerk face," the more gentle Robin "helps balance that a little bit." Both stories follow the antics of the half-witch, half-human, Sabrina as she navigates her adolescence amid mortal and magical worlds. I was still experiencing dysphoria with my chest, and with my body. That doesn’t make you less non-binary. “She deserved it,” Watson says, diplomatically. Lachlan Watson plays Susie Putnam on Netflix's "Chilling Adventures of Sabrina," a teen discovering more about their identity on the series. Lachlan Watson knows how gender norms can literally crush a person. The more I reached into the non-binary identity, the more I realized that all of that was rooted in not wanting to be a woman, but not wanting to be a man, either.

Yet Watson still felt uncomfortable. It's no wonder, considering Carcosa's pagans are mercilessly evil, and the shy and soft-spoken Robin isn't. .. It’s very easy in this industry to get put into a box, and I feel like the whole point of being non-binary is being like, “Hi, boxes don’t exist.” It’s definitely easy to preach that I don’t fit in a box, and the box doesn’t exist, but when you work in an industry like this, it’s purely based on boxes. Part 3 feels like a course correction: with the arrival of new kid Robin (Jonathan Whitesell), a speedy hobgoblin and a (former) member of Carcosa's traveling coven of pagan witches, no longer is Theo's story about enduring bullying or figuring out how to present himself. It was finally something I felt was right, and that no one told me to do. “I think he was like, ‘if I cast you, with the way you identify, in this specific role – you’re going to be talking about this a lot.’”Whether Aguirre-Sacasa foresaw this scrutiny or not, it’s a reality that has nonetheless come to pass.
"Now it's [me and Jonathan] making out in a chair while everyone else is unsure of what to do with their hands." That happens a lot in the queer community too, where we've been ingrained with the same ideals as everyone else. Theo, who spent all this time becoming comfortable in his own skin and gaining acceptance from his peers and family, is a pretty perfect partner for Robin, who was adopted by the pagan coven but never felt truly comfortable there. A dress shirt for me feels like I’m literally wearing a paper bag, but a dress is so comfortable – why not wear what’s most comfortable?”In the spirit of not dwelling unduly on the past – what comes next for the ascendant star?“I’m giving this a lot of thought,” Watson says after a pause.

Little did I know, that was neither accurate nor was it my only other explanation.Over the last two years, I discovered myself within the non-binary identity.A: It’s definitely a lot of pressure, yes. Anya Taylor-Joy plays this pilgrim-era daughter, shit starts going wrong, and she gets blamed for it. As star Lachlan Watson tells Bustle on the set of CAOS Part 4, it feels like "sweet, sweet justice." As star Lachlan Watson tells Bustle on the set of "It's a big thumbing my nose at all the third wheel scenes I had to do for two years," Watson jokes. We've been feminizing my wardrobe again. “I think I loved what Bowie represented,” Watson said, which was this “seven-foot tall, rail thin androgynous, assigned-male person.” In their attempts to emulate this look, the five-foot tall Watson spent years searching for ways to appear bigger – a process that involved wearing a lot of boxy, oversized shirts and shoes that were three sizes too big. Lachlan Watson and Jaz Sinclair couldn’t say much about the new season of the show which is set to debut later this year, but they did tease the … Act three: the alien. Which is amazing, but I did a lot when I was going through puberty, because I didn’t understand what was happening with my body, or why these things were defining me. That's allowed.We absolutely did that in the first season, when [Theo] announced, "I'm a man." It’s all fabric, and it doesn’t matter. Someone asked me, “If your boobs grew back tomorrow, what would you do?” I guess they were expecting that I would just break down and go crazy, but then I was like, “I’d be fine.”I’d genuinely be fine if I just woke up and was a whole woman again. As opposed to Lachlan Watson, who doesn’t just get to have an extremely difficult scene discussing his gender with straightedge farmer dad Adrian Hough, but also has a showdown of sorts with bully Ty Wood. It’s a snowy morning in Vancouver as they explain the toll of playing Theo, a trans high schooler in Netflix’s Chilling Adventures of Sabrina, whose storyline is shaped by Lachlan’s real-life gender journey.. Netflix’s original show The Chilling Adventures of Sabrina was released on October 26 and has since been regarded with critical praise. The more we show parents that they're able to just fuck over their kid, the more they’re going to think that’s okay. If your New Year’s resolution is to catch up on your favorite LGBTQ+ characters and shows, we applaud your realistic expectations. One aspect of the show that is rapidly gaining national attention is the story of Susie Putnam, a genderqueer character portrayed by 17-year-old non-binary actor, Lachlan Watson.

"Because he's been traveling for so long, he's never really had his own roots and he never really had the ability to make true connections," Whitesell explains of Robin.
