Riverdale's KJ Apa

shirtless heat

His bod is sick 💪🏽

My type

Redheads are never hot, OP.

Ever.

I find redheads really hot. r4 is Eric Cartman.

I hate his New Zealand accent in the interview: he pronounces his character's name "Otchie."

Yes. Yes, I would.

Hot accent.

He could get it twice each day bro

Very fuckable.

I want to fuck him harder

Total BAE. Testosterone

Oh he would be a bisexual powerTop

What do K and J stand for?

Will there ever again be a cute built guy that isn't scribbled on?

Hot as hell

I would drink his bathwater bro

Hard to believe he's half Somoan

Archie and a murder? Why didn't they just create a new show?

Mmmk. I'm starting to get into this.

[quote]What do K and J stand for?

Keneti James.

He's only 19. Shocking!

R22 Really? He looks 30 to me.

That's why it's shocking R23

He looks so mature and built

It's the Samoan in him. Here's The Rock at 15, who's also half Samoan.

Dang

Cute

IFHH

(IFHH)^1000

[post redacted because linking to dailymail.co.uk clearly indicates that the poster is either a troll or an idiot (probably both, honestly.) Our advice is that you just ignore this poster but whatever you do, don't click on any link to this putrid rag.]

R31 The Lucille Ball hair color really ruins it for me.

Hottttt

Total brobabe

Yumnm

Maybe I need to watch this, even if it shits all over my memories of Archie. But that face and bod...

[quote] Maybe I need to watch this, even if it shits all over my memories of Archie.

How vivid...

Why didn't they hire an American?

Hottest dude ever

No one's linked his Instagram yet so here:

You can spell his last name backwards and forwards and it's still the SAME!

Damn bro

[quote] Will there ever again be a cute built guy that isn't scribbled on?

That's the good thing about being Jewish: we don't believe in tattoos.

Subscribe.

How old is he supposed to be in the actual show? It's honestly kind of creepy to see high school students looking that buff. For college students it's one thing, but high school freshmen and sophomores should not look like 21-year-old Instinct magazine cover models.

Who cares, R45? He's a fucking wet dream.

R45 The roids must have kicked in because he was so scrawny on Shortland Street.

He absolutely sucked on Shortland Street, a NZ soap and he's no better on the CW shitfest Riverdale. The only reason he was hired, apart from showing Berlanti his small cock, was because he was a foreign actor that works for less money than a US actor. The CW always goes after the cheap foreign actors and boy does it show on their crappy shows.

R46 Yet another fifty year old lusting after a guy young enough to be his son. CREEPY.

[Quote] How old is he supposed to be in the actual show? It's honestly kind of creepy to see high school students looking that buff.

I don't think that's going to change anytime soon. I think Archie is supposed to be 15.

His bod makes my thing stick out 🍆

Who's the executive producer, Bryan Singer?

R50 Close. Berlanti. Same tastes, different worn faces.

[quote]I don't think that's going to change anytime soon. I think Archie is supposed to be 15.

How many 15-year-olds look like that, outside of the very few who take up bodybuilding at a young age?

These dudes are adults. all-man

R52 is it really that big of a deal?

Many, many high school dudes look like this today. Bodybuilding and lifting is huge aming teenagers. They want to be ripped, jacked, a beast. Athletes are trained to be big and buff from middle school. Kids are routinely taking creatine and protein supplements. It's a problem for adults who don't like for kids to have developed bods. Teenage guys are embarrassed to even take their shirts off if they find look like a fitness model

[quote][R52] is it really that big of a deal?

What? Where?

I guess he's the next Steven Strait or Taylor Kitsch. Without the red hair he looks just like them.

r47, let me guess. You auditioned for the role and didn't get it? You seem awfully bitter about it.

Hoooooooot

[quote] Hoooooooot

Look, I found an R59:

R4, you're fulla shit . Nice pecs and pits at R42, love those furry pits!

Who is playing Jughead?

He's like the new Craig Horner. Hot for a while then fade away.

He's not actually a redhead either but he shows his underpants almost as much as I did.

How tall is KJ? I keep thinking he's short.

He looks short compared to his costars, R65.

Uncut. NEXT!!

Looks like everyone else on the CW. ZZZzzzzzzz

It's beyond weird that a hard-muscled twunk Archie would be fucking his young MILF-y teacher. In real life, this is a scenario that leads straight to the slammer and the sex offender registry for life.

Huhhh

KJ's credited at 5'11" so take that as you will.

"Many, many high school dudes look like this today."

No, only in your fantasies. Most kids today are fat.

[quote][R50] Close. Berlanti. Same tastes, different worn faces.

Let me guess, you're one of those homophobic cows who keep on going how all gay Hollywood directors are pedos?

Did Berlanti tap that on the casting couch?

Unlike Singer, Berlanti at least has Robbie Rogers to go home to.

LOL R58. Poor R47 got turned down for yet another Charmin commercial.

Having Robbie Rogers being porked by KJ Apa. Now that's probably being saved for sweeps week

Since he is 19 now he was probably around 18 when Riverdale was filmed.

He's hot af.

Robin Givens is on this show?

r80, she was introduced in the latest, the second, episode and so far credited as guest character.

He is precisely my type. Masculine, buff, confident jock.

Is he even a "jock" in real life?

He's an actor/musician, so clearly not r83.

R83 he's very into rugby and playing rugby.

Any pics of him playing rugby?

Isn't Rugby dangerous with all the bodychecks without the American Football armour? I can't imagine the Riverdale production team being that willing to risk him getting hurt badly on the field.

I'll play with his balls...

KJ Apa once had a rugby scholarship but he gave it up for acting.

R84, some actors are jocks

Increasingly actors are jocks, with more and more athletes crossing over into Hollywood and the demand that leading men be buff and athletic. The highest paid actor today is a jock. The Rock is a professional wrestler and former football player

R91, nothing new about actors being athletic. It's been like that from the start of the cinema. Johnny Weissmüller was an Olympic gold winning swimmer before ending up as an actor in the 1920s.

R92, at least in the modern era, mainstream America doesn't even think of swimmers as jocks. It's just not on the same cultural level as the big team sports.

r93, CW's Buffy had a swim team and the swim team members were portrayed like meathead jocks.

But I agree that most people in the US associate jocks with college football.

And basketball, baseball, lacrosse, and wrestling. Maybe soccer too.

Nice nipple placement

He could get the D, bro

KJ father is big into rugby also.

His bunghole tastes like strawberries

KJ and his father.

Nice

Sizzling

[Quote] CW's Buffy had a swim team and the swim team members were portrayed like meathead jocks.

They were so much more than that.

I can't get enough of this dude.

Swimmers today rarely are perceived as true jocks in youth culture

Which surprises me given US' Michael Phelp's success in the Olympic Games.

If that's considered hot I weep for the future.

If you don't consider KJ hot I weep for you.

Keep your tears to yourself, r108. Nobody needs them or your pity.

Somebody get back to me about Moose.

r108, my sincere apologies. Somehow I mixed you up with r107 and thought you don't find him hot and judge the rest for finding him hot. Sorry, again.

He's the kind of white boy that even black chicks find hot

Red hair really makes him ultrahot

I like the combination of red hair and brown eyes.

He always looks like he just had sex ten seconds ago.

That's not a bad thing R115.

He is almost too hot

I'm always amazed at how easy it is for Australians and Brits to speak reasonably like Americans for roles. Do they have speech therapists on the set or something? How do they pick it up so quickly?

[quote]I'm always amazed at how easy it is for Australians and Brits to speak reasonably like Americans for roles. Do they have speech therapists on the set or something? How do they pick it up so quickly?

Some Brit, Aussie and Kiwi actors cite the American television shows that air in the UK which helps them get accustomed to the accent.

They also tend to work with dialect coaches. I'm not sure if he has one, but they're very common in the industry.

His dad's hot as well. Dude's just hot all around. He's also a musician and he placed the Cole Sprouse tag right on his crotch.

My new fantasy bro. He seems so American

This is a nice little interview. He talks a bit about his Samoan father and the culture and talks about wanting to eventually move away from playing a jock, which is interesting considering how well that's working for him.

Beast

R72 is right; most teens are fat and gross. There are usually abut 50 or so in hs who have worked out/played sorts all their lives and they do look like Archie. One does wonder why they don't just name the show something else--nobody under 50 knows the Archie comics.

He's hot

Samoans are the second fattest people on Earth. He's also uncut which means he doesn't wash properly "down there."

It really depends on the environment. Poor and working class kids are often fat (as are their parents)

You hang out in upper class/upper middle class areas and few kids are fat (same with their parents).

There is a big class distinction when it comes to obesity.

He never met a SINGLE American when he was auditioning. If that doesn't say it all right there

[quote]I just like to imagine actors going into auditions wearing red wigs. I didn’t see any red-headed people auditioning. All the guys that I’d met at the audition, none of them were American either, so that was also crazy as well. You see guys coming over from Australia and England who are just killing it. I feel like Americans love English people.

[quote]How old is he supposed to be in the actual show? It's honestly kind of creepy to see high school students looking that buff

Highschool students have been portrayed as attractive sex symbols in the entertainment industry since forever, you see it in every production that takes place in a highschool setting and there are a TON of those. It's such a common staple I am perplexed how you seem so confused about it.

[quote]Highschool students have been portrayed as attractive sex symbols in the entertainment industry since forever,

Yes we are...

Why did they have to import someone for this role? He's not even a red haired. (thank god)

We are flooded with people from abroad coming here to "make it", and Hollywood has a boner for them r131.

R131 Isn't he the only one imported? The rest of the cast is American.

r133, or Canadian.

Hollywood has gotten way of track with hiring model-types. It's obnoxious and unrelatable.

It's a cheesy CW show r135, not some prestige drama. They know it is guilty pleasure entertainment and a big part of that is hiring pretty actors.

Like Apa said in his interview, he is well aware that his abs are a big draw of the show, it needs some fun sex appeal.

R136? Enough. It's on every network.

He's fantasy material

Enough.

No one is allowed to discuss KJ Apa.

R139 has SPOKEN!!!

enough with the enough!

Stop.

Gross. Why didn't you bitches warn me he was a bible-thumper?

Fine, now I agree with r139, enough of him.

Thank you, R143.

He's a Kiwi, he might have a different approach to religion than your average fundie redneck. And he's only 19. Still, if he's a homophobic cunt we'll probably hear about it at some point.

His dad was quite a looker when he was young.

[quote] All the guys that I’d met at the audition, none of them were American either, so that was also crazy as well.

Make America Great Again!

Are he/his dad really Maori? Or is it like the people who claim to be Native American when they only have 1/32 native blood?

His father is Samoan. He has a massive Samoan family that he has spent a lot of time with growing up. It isn't at all a case where it's some white person bragging about being 1/32 native.

Him and his dad.

R145 Samoans were converted by American missionaries in the 19th centuries, so I wouldn't be surprised if they have fundie beliefs, or at least susceptible to being indoctrinated.

There are few things that are a bigger turn-off for me than someone being a pround fundie.

Sorry, this gay men is not comfortable with the skyfairy worshippers and never will be. On the bright side, I had been planning on getting around to checking out Riverdale and now I probably won't bother. Which is fine, there is enough shows I need to catch up on that aren't CW grade.

Hopefully he's not like... an ultra-fundie, though with Samoan culture you never know. Anyway, still hot.

R152, those two hang out a lot in real life.

KJ lives in Venice (Beach). At least for now.

Cool, he's a Christian. So am I. Makes me an even bigger fan now!

R155, this site isn't for children...

R155 I'm very sorry that R156 was so rude to you. DL tries to badger everyone into following the same beliefs, mainly that the only meaning in life comes from buttfucking and insults.

Have we talked about the fact that KJ posted 1...

2...

3...

4 pictures of Cole on his Instagram?

Then of course there's this:

[quote]Then of course there's this:

They were on a road trip together recently.

Mormon boys are hot fucks. I bet KJ is, too.

They're probably just living out that Archie/Jugghead fanfiction.

[quote]How old is he supposed to be in the actual show? It's honestly kind of creepy to see high school students looking that buff.

You say that, but attached is an actual group of highschool boys. Yes, some highschool guys are buff.

Yep, and unfortunately too many of these buff high schoolers go to my gym. It's creepy

Hot AF.

the bromance continues:

[quote]How old is he supposed to be in the actual show? It's honestly kind of creepy to see high school students looking that buff.

Millennials are generally well-built and well-hung.

High-schoolers aren't "millennials"

Why are these actors from the U.K. and Commonwealth getting American parts? This keeps happening.

Don't worry, Trump will put a stop to that.

He's a dud as Archie. So boring. Badly miscast.

[quote] Millennials are generally well-built and well-hung.

in your fantasies

He is the only reason I would peep at this show

Death Valley

Hott

Aww, I love that he appeared on Cole's IG... exposed midriff and all.

KJ uploaded a new pic:

DAMM

Dose abs be snatched

Bro is blazin hot

[quote]The only reason he was hired, apart from showing Berlanti his small cock, was because he was a foreign actor that works for less money than a US actor. The CW always goes after the cheap foreign actors and boy does it show on their crappy shows.

Are you joking, or is that true? Do they really work for less money? Whatever the reason -- yes Apa is hot as hell, but why the fuck go out of your way to hire a non-American to play a classic American comics character? I'm pretty sure there are lots of hot, jacked young American guys they could have hired if hot and jacked was that important to them.

Who is Riverdale's audience? I doubt they're old enough to have internalized Archie as a classic American comic character. They don't care... they see a hot young guy on a CW show and that's enough for them. Are those who loved the comics an active part of the show's fandom?

[quote]Are those who loved the comics an active part of the show's fandom?

I like the show. I liked the comics during the 1950s-60s. I don't think of them as having much to do with each other. Riverdale reminds me more of Gossip Girl than Archie Comics.

This brings up the very good question: What the hell is the point of doing a "new version" of a classic if you're going to change it so much that there's nothing in it for the fan base of the original to relate to? Why not just give it a new title, and give the characters new names? Yeah, I know, "name recognition" -- but what's the point of that if the content is so completely different?

hot

His body is awesome and he is hot as fucking hell.

Can anyone who watches the show gives some context to the scene at R188? I almost want to watch the episode specifically for that moment. Maybe I should pose the question in the other thread.

His small "inner circle" party for Jughead's birthday gets raped by the Blossom girl, who brings the entire school, and soon everyone is drunk and shirtless.

I wonder what is going on behind the scenes. Are Cole and KJ fooling around? Is it more serious?

On his instagram he posted many clips of him saying Daddy over and over again. Maybe he is trying to tell us he is gay.

[quote] He's also uncut which means he doesn't wash properly "down there."

Any verification on that r126? In my NZ experiences all the Maori boys were uncut. But the Samoans, like KJ, were all cut. It was one way to tell the difference...

Cole and KJ are on each other's Instagrams all the time. They went to Coachella together.

[quote]@colesprouse ❤️

Those boys are fucking.

I'll be sorely disappointed if they're not.

Yeah, me, too. That's got to be some sweet stuff on KJ.

KJ -top

Cole - bottom

Well, it's settled.

Lol. Um, good that we've got that sorted, I guess. Now, who's writing the filthy, filthy smut?

Also, supposedly Apa's in hot water for liking fatphobic posts on Instagram. What an idiot. Oh well, not like the ratings can fall any lower.

Friends with benefits, I guess.

I really do always get my news first from the DL.

Yep R203 fans are upset over KJ liking a fat shaming post and for a post deemed sexist.

Link to the post?

.......

R207 This is what caused the offence

Wow, what an asshole. He's lucky he's good looking.

[Quote] He's lucky he's good looking.

That's the most important thing.

He is a hot jock bro. Love him.

He is an idiot for liking that publicly. He realizes other people can see it right?

(Which btw, they are kidding themselves if they don't realize that look-obsessed actors feel like that. But you never admit something like that publicly man!Those fat bitches are the ones who pay your bills)

OMG! KJ Apa is a Datalounger!

KJ Apa is FAT SHAMING Datalounger!

And this from the guy who likes to brag about how Christian he is...

he's an GOP christian.

[quote]he's an GOP christian.

For which you get a "Oh, dear."

I wonder if he'll issue a public apology. Shirtless I hope.

Incredible that he has sabotaged his career just as it's getting started with that idiotic "like." He's hot as hell, but he doesn't seem to possess any functioning brain cells.

What is up with that terrible scar between his eyebrows?

I have a "terrible scar" just like that, R221. Maybe KJ had an asshole brother like mine. My scar is from when he hit me with a hammer while I was sleeping, when I was 3. People like you make me glad I don't do anything that requires me to appear in public, you festering vaginal chancre.

Don't let'm bother you, honey.

Hot bae

Totally my type bro

[quote]Don't let'm bother you, honey.

He should definitely let it bother him. That was incredibly fucking stupid. His team and the show's team I guarantee gave him hell for being so stupid.

IFHH

R266 I was talking to R222 about R221's comments on KJ's scars. I wasn't talking to KJ.

R228, there is not R266. Yet.

I meant R226.

Bae.

I want to get my hands on him and stealth-feed him until he's as fat as those people he likes to shame.

Stretching.

He colored his hair.

Riverdale's Cole Sprouse & KJ Apa Compete in a Compliment Battle

I would bang him on national tv. Hot to death

Not in this picture OP.

What R236 said

R235 That was great! Loved the way they were eyeing each other.

Jesus, just break out the lube and get on with it!

He is my new fantasy booty bro. All up in dat Aussie ass!

He's a Kiwi, R241.

Cole and KJ are in an ugly picture war!

Yeah I was getting ready to say that r242.

Do not call a Kiwi an Aussie, they do not like that.

Their song:

R239 ! Ufff they are hot together.

Betty and Veronica who?

Cole and KJ would make a hot celebrity power couple

But not unless they are actually gay. No fake "queer" bs.

R248 I agree.

And for some reason, I picture Cole as the top.

Those boys are fucking.

So much love for Apa when he is a proud Christian who hates fat people.

All you DLers would disgust him lol

Why go after him because of a sensible opinion that fat people are unattractive and usually useless?

It is ignorant and hysterionic to assert his comments means he hates fat People. It was insensitive, but hatred it is not

he's young and hot, give the guy apass

His opinions and religion are the least interesting things about him. Yeah, liking that comment was insensitive, but - and I'll speak for myself here - he's not my role model. As long as he's frequently shirtless and hanging with Cole I'll be good.

boss

.......... ...

hot bro

How observant, R260. And so articulate.

Happy birthday KJ!

Let's not forget this either

Or this

Boss

I read a rumor today of a possible leak of KJ Apa nudes. So far no evidence has been provided. Keep an eye out.

fantasy bro

That's why it's a rumor. Time will tell if it's true.

“Riverdale” Season 2 star KJ Apa has developed a close friendship with the new cast members of the hit The CW series.

On his Instagram account, the actor, who plays the role of Archie Andrews, posted a hilarious photo of Charles Melton. The latter will play the role of Reggie Mantle, and he will be replacing Ross Butler after the latter announced his return to “13 Reasons Why.” In the snap, Melton is wearing pink shades and pink swimsuit that was edited by Apa. In reality, Melton was only wearing his khaki shorts and was top-naked.

Enjoy his looks now, gurls, because in a very short time he will morph into a simian-faced, eyebrow delivery system.

Can I hit it now, please?

I want to be in the middle of a father-son sandwich, based on r149's pic. Dad is hot!

Mmmm

So hot

With its teen drama and just-campy-enough storylines, Riverdale lends itself seamlessly to memes and GIFs. (It doesn't hurt that star Lili Reinhart, who plays Betty Cooper on the CW show, is a meme queen in her own right.) But it looks like star K.J. Apa doesn't love being memed — or, at least, he doesn't love that infamous GIF of him blinking. In an interview with Ireland's Press Association, Apa said he wasn't happy the first time he saw the GIF.

"I hated that GIF," Apa told interviewer Holly Bytes. "The first time I saw it, Lili, I think, was the first one to tweet it. I hated it so much. I was like, Why would you upload that? Also, why would Warner Bros make that GIF?" Apa isn't wrong — Reinhart did tweet the GIF in March. "New commercial for contact lenses starring @kj_apa #riverdale," she wrote. The tweet brought in more than 5,000 likes.

He’s bae.

Is he gay? The fangirls seem to think he has something going on with Cole. There is even a hashtag on tumblr, coleti.

Uh no

He's 20, which means he's old enough to drink in Canada.

[quote]The fangirls seem to think he has something going on with Cole. There is even a hashtag on tumblr, coleti.

Fangurls will always ship. That is a given.

wtf

KJ and Cole seem close.

YEAH they are friends

[quote] The new Archie is blazin hot.

as hideous as the day is long

Interesting use of emoji.

Hmmmm

While the two dudes emoji generally means coupling, I also see it used to connote brothers and platonic friends

Hmmm

Aww

[quote] The fangirls seem to think he has something going on with Cole.

Cole and Lili Reinhart are dating IRL.

He looks a thousand times better with his real dark hair.

Oh

R290 I don't think they are. I think it's just a showmance. Rumor has it she's dating Casey Cott.

Who dat

Casey Cott and KJ Apa are dating?

I want to see Moose plow Kevin Keller until his toes curl

Cute

Zaddy bro

The new pics are whorish. I approve.

so, he has no genitalia? not even a bump in those GQ pics....

Who cares? He has a hot physique

R302, there's no vpl but you can definitely see some bulging.

Charles Melton (Reggie) also has next to no bulge in ttight underwear. The Riverdale set must be tinymeat central!

WHATS HE up to this week?

KJ Apa performs with Kygo onstage during the 2018 Coachella Valley Music And Arts Festival at the Empire Polo Field on April 20, 2018 in Indio, California.

Boss

Boss

Run

Hot to death

Tart.

Oh wow

Bumpm

Boss

God I want to bend him over.

He is so hot

Alleged tiny-meat or no - Reggie is the hottest.

Jordan Calloway is hottest

More!

Ripped

Wonder if he'll have a career after Riverdale

Hell yes, KJ Apa is one of my celebrity crushes. Like, he seems really confident and masculine in public, but I would love to make him my nasty little sex pig behind closed doors. Makes it even better that he's one of these devout Christian boys (I think he even starred in a Christian movie recently too).

Yeah, this young man's really beautiful. I rarely go for mainstream hunks, but this guy's got another quality. Don't know if it's his multiethnic background, or his musical talents... don't know if he's much of an actor, but he's got a lot of spirit, and seems unfettered by societal expectations, which is always hot.

Holy shit, where's R315 from?! You know what's really hot about this dude? Isn't he openly Christian? That he's out there simultaneously saturating the market with sexuality delights me, and makes his whole brand seem way dirtier than he projects.

[QUOTE] Wonder if he'll have a career after Riverdale

I bet he does... he's way more interesting than Centineo. It really depends on whether his Christian movie is a hit. I can see it happening, honestly, look out for it. That market has money, and they'll spend it. And the character he's playing, and the songs he's singing, are very meaningful to an entire generation of young American Protestants. Just think of the cult hit Walk to Remember was and mainstream it.

Granted, nothing became of Shane West, so we'll see what happens.

Sexy

KJ in a recent photoshoot was wearing shoes from Hugh Jackman's shoe company.

What doe we think of this mess?

I want him to destroy my German boypussy!

You get around. I don't like that.

R331 Nein, he will not defile your fotze!

Is he trolling?

Guapo

His body is ridiculously awesome and judging from his Instagram he busts his ass to maintain it. No idea if he does roofs, but whatever he is doing it is working like gangbusters. He’s a wee thing though, no? It’s much easier to be super ripped like he is the shorter you are, but you have to religiously keep up your routine. I’ve never seen the sho, is he any sort of actor or just a pretty boy with a hot body?

^roofs=roids

Shorties usually have great legs. He has zEfron legs.

Shorties usually have great legs. Apa has zEfron legs, unfortunately.

Is this a Ricky Gervais impression or something?

Who's the guy cosying up to him?
