Kiwi heartthrob has managed to offend Canada and they're not happy

KJ Apa might be leading the cast of one of the most popular teen dramas on TV, but it looks as though he has just made himself much less popular with his current country of residence.

The 20-year-old Kiwi has been living in Vancouver, British Columbia, where he films his starring role as Archie Andrews for CW's hit show Riverdale.

But in a new interview on Live With Kelly and Ryan, Apa revealed that living in the beautiful Pacific Northwest isn't quite the full package, the Daily Mail reports.

When asked about his life in Vancouver, Apa said: "The food's really good. The only thing is when you're there for a long time, it can get kind of boring. The city's not the biggest city in the world and everything shuts kind off early as well."

He went on to say that early closing times might be a plus given his working schedule - he also previously described the city as "beautiful" in interviews - but the "boring" comment swiftly started making the rounds.

Vancouver residents and other Canadians were quick to shut down Apa's evaluation, accusing him of not exploring the city enough.

Some told the actor to leave the city if he thought it was so dull, but others made things personal by taking hits on Apa's acting chops.

"When KJ Apa says Vancouver is boring but hasn't seen his own acting," wrote one user.

Another shot back: "KJ Apa, Archie on Riverdale, says Vancouver is 'pretty boring.' Dude, you're from NZ, people in glass houses shouldn't throw stones."
