"Earlier this week, a TikTok account for someone named Mr. Fantasy popped up on our FYPs, causing many to go "Wait, is that Archie?" The videos show Mr. Fantasy as an aspiring Hollywood legend. He has roommates, goes hiking by the Hollywood sign, and is in desperate need of veneers. Fans also clocked almost immediately that Mr. Fantasy has the exact same tattoos as Apa. Coincidence???"
"So was Mr. Fantasy Apa just having some fun with a new alt? No! It's album rollout. Because of course it is. Archie's single is dropping, and it's pretty good. The kind of pleasant funk-adjacent tunes you'd hear at a hotel's rooftop pool. Mr. Fantasy's Spotify profile says his music "is my smile, my long wet tongue, my thrusting hips." And his wig."
KJ Apa adopted an alter-ego called Mr. Fantasy on TikTok, appearing in a wig, Austin Powers teeth, and a British accent. The Mr. Fantasy account posted videos portraying an aspiring Hollywood legend who has roommates, hikes by the Hollywood sign, and needs veneers. Viewers quickly noticed that Mr. Fantasy has the exact same tattoos as Apa. Apa previously posted from the verified account @fifiiqueen but said he had been locked out. The Mr. Fantasy persona functions as an album rollout: Archie's single is dropping and features pleasant, funk-adjacent tunes suited to a hotel's rooftop pool. Mr. Fantasy's Spotify profile describes the music as "is my smile, my long wet tongue, my thrusting hips."
