The New Zealander best known for playing Archie Andrews in the Riverdale<\/u> cast<\/u><\/a> has stepped out with a new music project, and it\u2019s getting a lot of people talking.<\/p>\n A couple of weeks ago, an account called @IAmTheRealMrFantasy popped up on social media where a man with long black hair and goes by the name Mr. Fantasy (that looks like KJ Apa in a wig) started posting updates about hanging out in Los Angeles and teasing new music. It\u2019s a goofy little account that I highly recommend scrolling through on TikTok, but now Mr. Fantasy has just released his first music video (along with releasing the full song on music streaming services). Check it out:<\/p>\n While the actor hasn\u2019t confirmed he\u2019s Mr. Fantasy, he just looks too much like him for it not to be true give or take some fake teeth, a groove hairdo and some very expressive outfits. Another great tell is how Mr. Fantasy has the same tattoos as KJ Apa has been seen to have when baring skin in the past.<\/p>\n Amidst KJ Apa having a lot of fun introducing the world to this offbeat alter ego as his latest project, some other celebrities have taken notice. Take a look at a couple of the comments:<\/p>\n \u201cOh my god.\u201d<\/strong> – @Lili Reinhart<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/li>\n \u201cWAIT A MINUTE!\u201d<\/strong> – @joejonas <\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n Lili Reinhart is, of course, KJ Apa\u2019s co-star from Riverdale, and Joe Jonas is one-third of the Jonas Brothers. As Mr. Fantasy goes viral with each of his videos soaring into the millions with one of him talking in character crossing seven million on TikTok<\/u><\/a>, people are catching on. The fan comments are absolutely a sight to behold though. Take a look:<\/p>\n \u201cMr fantasy is probably the most iconic thing to happen this decade\u201d <\/strong>– @gracie.caroline.rose<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/li>\n \u201cThis is the wildest thing a celebrity has done in a while\u201d <\/strong>– @dontcallmegracie<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/li>\n \u201cThese are the kind of antics we want from celebrities\u201d<\/strong> – @l0v3l0stliars<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/li>\n \u201cThis would HIT with some jingle jangle\u201d<\/strong> – @fadedjade94<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/li>\n “maybe the concept of hannah montana isn\u2019t too hard to believe” <\/strong>– @aliyahquill<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n While KJ Apa\u2019s Mr. Fantasy alter ego may be out of left field, the actor\u2019s love of music isn\u2019t. Apa sang quite regularly on Riverdale, along with playing Christian singer Jeremy Camp<\/u><\/span> in the 2020 biopic I Still Believe. In 2021, he also independently released an indie folk album called Clocks.<\/p>\n Most recently, the actor was the lead of one of 2025\u2019s movie releases<\/u><\/a>, The Map That Leads To You, with Outer Banks star Madelyn Cline, which is available to watch with an Amazon Prime Video subscription<\/u><\/a>. Mr. Fantasy certainly has our attention now, especially considering the debut song is such a bop!<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/span><\/div>\n
