The world is even more obsessed with KJ Apa following this at the AMA Awards

November 21, 2017

Yesterday the cast of Riverdale, including our favourite Kiwi KJ Apa, took the stage at the American Music Awards to present an award.

But just the mere act of KJ speaking whilst on stage has resulted in a fan frenzy on Twitter, why? Because of his Kiwi accent.

The average Riverdale fan would only hear KJ speaking as his role of Archie, which he obviously puts on an American accent for.

So when he spoke using his Kiwi accent at the AMA's, the crowd lost it:

And even those watching from home were in love with his NZ tang, taking to Twitter to obsess:

Stars of Riverdale presented an award and pretty sure the crowd screamed the loudest when KJ talked cause of his accent... it’s so cute! @kj_apa @lilireinhart @CamilaMendes @mad_hill @AMAs #Riverdale #Amas #RiverdaleXAmas

@kj_apa could be reading a phone book and he would still have my undivided attention. That accent gets me every time.

Its the funniest thing when Americans realize that @kj_apa is a NZer. They are like O he has an accent, just assumed he was American. #Kiwistyles #NewZealand #AMAs
