Chilling Adventures of Sabrina star Grant Leatherwood said in a recent interview that he once slept on a park bench for a few hours. He wasn't homeless. He just stayed out too late going to bars one night and had some time to kill before his shift as a waiter started. He was wearing a beanie at the time. The significance of the story isn't clear, but the 26-year-old Leatherwood has also featured it in his Instagram posts. Read on for details.

Although he’s found success now, “Chilling Adventures of Sabrina” star Gavin Leatherwood says a “weird living situation” once led him to sleep on a New York park bench.
Leatherwood, now 26, told Page Six that the night outside took place six years ago, when he was living in the city, had no real friends and chose not to go home one night.
“I had gone into the two bars I knew I could get into at age 20 and I waited until, like, 4 a.m.,” the actor, who plays Nick Scratch on the Netflix series, told Page Six.
He found himself bundled up on a Union Square park bench waiting for his 8 a.m. shift to start at a nearby restaurant.
“I had a beanie over one eye and I was sitting sort of slouched,” he explained. “I had a pocket knife in my pocket. It was cold too … I went and did my shift and was like, ‘Holy s–t, I slept on a park bench last night!'”
The actor said he sometimes misses working in the restaurant industry, telling us, “There’s something strangely therapeutic and physical about it that was rewarding.” However, “That day at work was not fun.”
These days, Leatherwood has been hard at work putting together an album, which has left little time for a love life.
