"WHO KNOWS WITH THOSE WRITERS, I'VE BEEN ATTACKED BY A BEAR LIKE HOW MANY TIMES NOW ?", THE SHADE OF IT ALL, I LOVE IT
Kj's laugh is one of those laughs that make you laugh even more 😂
I think every polynesian that type of laugh lol
That's so Islander of him 😂😂😂😂
Exactly 😂
his smiles infectious lol
Thats so my laugh-
kj the kinda guy you could have a beer or a couple with and then realise hes kj
Omg yes😂
N'n
@@Bloodlinefan ok bud
coming from a Samoan, bruh KJ you're the man..even if you don't know to speak our native tongue I'm proud of your accomplishment and your family must be too. God bless you uso 👌🏾
He and his sisters actually use to speak it at a young age but lost the language growing up
His dad is a chief, and KJ him self just recently became one back in his home village in Samoa.
''The 25-year-old, who hails from the village of Moata'a, has been given the matai (chief) title of Savae - the same name as his famous uncle and All Blacks legend Sir Michael Jones, who also holds the title of La'auli. Apa's Samoan roots lie with his father, who is also a chief, Tupa'i Keneti Apa. KJ Apa stopped hearts over the weekend with an Instagram post teasing him and Eric Dane as a couple. The Riverdale star showed off his newly shaved head as he posed lounging in a bed alongside Dane.''
KJ knows the triumphs and defeats, the epic highs and lows of highschool rugby.
Legendary
KJ is so sweet, genuine, and charismatic. Loved this interview!
Riverdale seems to be written by concussed Rugby players so he must be feeling right at home
LOL!!!!
LMAO !!
😂😂😂😂
lmao
lmao so truee
he is so charming it’s insane!
Bahaha 😂 I can’t
I'm glad he finally got to talk about his heritage
Whether or not you speak the language, you will always be Samoan uso! 🇼🇸
He’s a quarter Samoan tho-
@@JusticeForChuuu point still stands lol
@@JusticeForChuuu You can't be half or a quarter ofa person. Regardless of blood quantum you're still your ancestors as long as it is in your blood. Colonial mentality much! And KJ just became a chief back in Samoa...

How can you not love him!! Hes real!
Every time I see his infectious smile, I realize how much I miss it bc Archie never smiles in Riverdale lol
KJ is hot af and I just think he's underrated overall
Yes
Yess
I haven’t seen one of your comments in ages
This was one of my favourite interviews to watch. He was just so genuine, and he was happy to answer the questions. Plus he’s funny!
Yes I agree
That was realy interesting and super funny interview. Kimmel cracked some good jokes. KJ is adorable and I can’t stop smiling when he smiles. There is nothing better then seeing host and guest to genuinly enjoy their conversation. They are straight up vibing.
OMG the best three years of my life in NZ, twins born there, just magical. So respect the pacific island cultures, loved this actor's story.
I think he said "president" for the American audience so they knew what he meant.
I hope that's the case.
Prime minister really.
Yea Ihe just misspoke & couldn't be bothered correcting himself.
Yeah he did
His dad's tatau is🔥🇼🇸
It is awesome to see a Kiwi on Kimmel's show. And yes, Jacinda Ardern is our Prime Minister but I'm not bothered by him saying President.
Think this was because so that all the audience would understand. Also, I'm jealous. May we share Jacinda? I wouldn't dare offer to share Scotty from Marketing. I love my Kiwi brothers and sisters!!!
He’s not kiwi. Lol he was born there. But ain’t kiwi lol. Samoan.
@@revvyboii1 He's part Samoan and was born in Auckland, NZ which would make him a Kiwi-Samoan :)
Her star has fallen massively since this interview.
Jacinda's a joke
U know the Samolans are tough when KJ Apa was the runt of the litter😂😂
can we agree that this is yet the best kj apa interview???
When KJ starts laughing I have to laugh too😂
I think this absolut charming young man named KJ Apa, is the kind of person whom you could spend a lifetime together with and still don't get bored!
P. S: his laugh✨adorably contagious ✨❤️
Ok but the framed picture of Charles in the background 😂
😂😂
KJ seems very nice and I love his honesty about how even he doesn't understand what is happening on Riverdale. 😂😂
He has such a nice personality, his energy is so contagious too!
It it just me of does KJ get hotter everytime I see him
Do you need a bottle of water? 😅
He's so cute! So proud that he's a Kiwi 🥝
Damn is dad looks like a beast those tats are sick.
I love New Zealand tattoos.
And He's A Chief.
Coolest Dad Story Ever.
samoan tattoos
@@harrietmorris3000
I know but the designs are slightly different same cultural significance.
One of my favorite parts of hobbs and shaw was seeing them go to Samoa which ironically enough had a few new Zealand actors as supporting characters.
Same Samoan tattoo that The Rock’s grandfather had
@@grimmwicked313 New Zealand actors were ethnically Samoan tho
And this is how one interview made me a fan of Kj
Ok, this is definitely one of the best interviews 😍 and KJ is surprisingly very funny!💖
"Who knows with them writers" LMAO
Really charming and genuine guy.
"Scrawny little white boy" 😂
He is not white
He's half Samoan u fink
I'm surprised how he is so white while being Somoan.
@@dreamerabe He's half u nub
@@dreamerabe it’s because he can’t tan for riverdale because Archie is a ginger white kid
A friend who played rugby said the team slogan was “Give blood, play rugby.”
Such a nice guy KJ!
What a charming fellow! There is something magical about New Zealand. He should be in movies.
well, he did play lots of movies
KJ has such a great vibe! Great smile too
His abs in ‘Songbird’ when he’s fixing the motorcycle tho
Ahh yes a person of class
fagboy
I just don’t get why people hate the movie 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
@@electroazure cause its not good
Love how he has a picture of Charles on the shelf behind him lmao
KJ looks so good here! 😍😍
Im Samoan and this made me giggle I LOVE IT
He is a really sweet and handsome guy kind of underrated
Anyone else feel like with the cast of Riverdale living as adults will be like a modern day friends, but of course, a little darker.
i adore him lol omg he’s so entertaining.
I stopped watching Riverdale on the third season, but this was still really enjoyable to watch.
And I love when Jimmy makes those slightly ethnocentric comments whenever a guest is from overseas. It's even funnier when he has multiple European guests (or from other places).
NZ been having music fests for a while now. We just had a free music fest for familes just this weekend. A somewhat new tradition after all the New Years music festivals have ended and you can go take your kids to the beach and listen to local talent, play in the sand and eat good food.
this was such a good and funny interview! i loved it!
He is adorable!!! And such a great actor!!!
Aww, I loved this interview!
Any kiwi needs to thumb up this message! Represent! 😍🤟
Chur bro 😎
Chur
I live across the ditch in Australia. We've handled covid pretty well in comparison to the US, but some states have been going into short circuit-breaker lockdowns because of small outbursts of 1-20 cases in some states.
Ok but KJ’s accent is so soothing 🥰
I love Kj . He plays Archie so good . ❤️❤️❤️
Ikr his acting was so good in Episode 2 about his dad situation and he changes his accent for singing and talking in Riverdale, he is seriously underrated actor
I love KJ’s laugh so much 😂😂😂😂😂😂
This is an awesome interview 🥰🥰🥰
People from New Zeland always sounds Happy.
Charles picture at the back 😄 🤣 😂
Wouldn't mind getting into acting.
Sometimes it's just such a happy Accident for people.
@Otto Couper I Will 🙂
@Otto Couper Thank You And I Will.
I Plan To Get Into Some Local Theater Stuff As Well As Make My Own Low Budget Horror Films With Good Cameras.
Why do I feel like it’s such a kiwi thing to laugh with our whole bodies 😅 just me, ok? But loved this!!!! He seems like such a cool down to earth guy
I love that introduction 💕 KJ is awesome!
Its is so cool that they are talking about Samoan culture.
The SuperBowl part had me laughing so hard.
Off topic, but Jacinda is such a queen bro. My new principal used to teach in new zealand and at assembly a few weeks ago she did i speech of Jacinda and i really realised how great she is.
There is a Rugby movie called Sye, from India And it is really great
I love his accent so much!
He laughs in Samoan lol
Holy cow!! Didn't know Kj is Samoan!!! Yess keep repping Polynesians!!!
can we talk about the picture of mantle in the back
So nice conversation with KJ. How cute he is!☺️🥰 💔
Vancouver's wifi connection is clear AF!
Ikr. I get annoyed how alot of celebs have shitty video calls when it comes to interviews
im late asf but its so amazing to see another fellow samoan making moves out there in the world
He's so great.❤❤❤
just finished riverdale season 5 episode 4, and KJ Apa shows up on TV lol.
"Super bowl" ha!
I came from a moderately poor family here in the states and didn't go out to a "sit down" restaurant until I was about 18. When the waitress asked me "Soup or salad", I thought she asked if I wanted a "Super Salad". I of course declined, as I was there for the steak.
:)
He sounds so different here!!!
Big fan of riverdale series and his movies
@0:52 he from New Zealand started watching him when he was on Shortland street
