News flash that’ll come as a surprise to absolutely nobody: Riverdale’s KJ Apa is a friggin’ babe.
Hnnnng.
But to achieve ultimate babe level, you have to be referred to as ‘daddy’ by the fans… something that KJ has noticed and is desperately trying to achieve.
Confessing to TooFab in an interview, KJ admitted that he wanted in on the trend after “witnessing his co-stars fawning over a few older gentlemen.”
“Ha! I started that actually,” he said to TooFab. “It all started as a personal joke between Camila [Mendes] and I because all of the girls on the show are obsessed with older men, ‘Daddies.’
“And I realised you can only be a ‘Daddy’ once you’re like 26, have a beard and kinda rugged and I’m literally not that so I’m trying to earn it from the girls and gain that title since the new goal in life is to be called ‘Daddy.'”
Little does he know that you don’t really need all of those things to reach ‘Daddy’ level. His co-star Lili Reinheart (Betty Cooper) has already been dubbed ‘Daddy’ by fans on Twitter and we aren’t exactly sure how or why this came about, but we’re here for it.
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Just go with it.
