And if the resemblance weren\u2019t strong enough, the vid features a whole host of KJ\u2019s famous friends.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">That includes Dave Franco, Camila Mendes, Alex Warren, Sombr, Rob Lowe, Nick Jonas, Zoey Deutch, Jimmy Tatro, Justice Smith, Patrick Schwarzenegger, Cody Simpson, Lili Reinhart, Madelaine Petsch\u2026 seriously, that\u2019s only half the list.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2>KJ Apa claps back at Mr. Fantasy<\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">At this point, the world knows it\u2019s all just a big ruse (and a damn funny one).
