Who is Mr Fantasy? People are convinced KJ Apa is behind the strange viral TikTok account

We all knew that KJ Apa was a bit of an oddball, but all of a sudden, people are thoroughly convinced that he’s taken up a secret identity known as Mr Fantasy on TikTok.

Most of us met KJ Apa in Netflix’s Riverdale, and those unhinged seven seasons pretty much set the tone for the rest of his career. He’s a character, dropping odd TikTok videos and being all around barmy in TV interviews – but this new viral moment is something else entirely.

What is the Mr Fantasy TikTok account?

With just seven videos, 184k followers, and already 1.7 million likes, the Mr Fantasy TikTok account is as confusing as it is captivating. He’s got buck teeth, what is clearly a Party City wig, and what could be a fake British accent. Most of his content hinges on being an up-and-coming artist, but we have yet to hear any actual music.

In some of the clips, Mr Fantasy was simply jamming to music, but in others, he was putting on an entire skit while rooming with an “aspiring actor” called Blaine. Most recently, he was filming a music video on Venice Beach in a Speedo.

There’s simply no rhyme or reason to his TikTok videos, but all of them have millions of views.

A post shared by KJ Apa (@kjapa)

Take one look at Mr Fantasy and you’ll instantly understand why people are convinced that it’s secretly KJ Apa. They look remarkably similar, even with the dry-ass wig and gnarly nashers. People on TikTok have also clocked how Mr Fantasy and KJ Apa have the exact same tattoos, and the backdrop to many of his videos is the same as KJ’s apartment.  A coincidence? We think not.

“Guys, am I being stupid? Is this KJ Apa with fake teeth and a wig?” one person questioned.

The official Empire State Building also questioned, “Have you experienced the epic highs and lows of high school football by any chance???”

“The fact that you guys are questioning if this is KJ Apa is crazyyyyyyy. All the man is wearing is a wig and some fake teeth. You would think he had prosthetics on,” another wrote.

But it’s also one of those things where the more people are questioning it, the more I could be convinced that KJ Apa and Mr Fantasy are two separate people. Who knows?

What’s the verdict?

Logging on to say a big THANKYOU. Keep going guys I love you. I promise I’ll be good to you 🤪 🇺🇸 I’m watching 😉

As of yet, it’s yet to be confirmed that KJ Apa and Mr Fantasy are the same person, but if we’re going by looks alone, it’s most definitely the former redhead. But that leaves us with an even bigger question: Why is KJ Apa cosplaying an odd singer with a zany personality?

There’s currently no Spotify profile for Mr Fantasy, suggesting that he’s not a new artist, but there’s also no upcoming projects that would suggest KJ Apa is doing a publicity stunt. The only film on his calendar is Falling, a romantic comedy.

Maybe he’s just really bored? Either way, I need to know the truth.
