On Riverdale, Archie has been known to stick up for his friends, especially when they're in danger. In real life, KJ Apa seems more than willing to speak up when he sees an injustice, much like the character he plays on TV. He proved that when he clapped back at a rugby player who said on Instagram that he believes gay people are going to hell.

Rugby player Israel Folau responded to a comment on his Instagram in which a follower asked, "What was God's plan for gay people?" Israel replied to the question, saying, "HELL..unless they repent of their sins and turn to God." KJ was NOT here for Israel's comment, and he said so.

"@izzyfolau Very disappointing comments... Our role as Christians is to LOVE not Judge," KJ wrote on a screenshot of Israel's comment that he posted to his Instagram story. "What gives you the right to condemn? Are you perfect? Sit down."

Many on social media are supporting KJ for his takedown of Israel's comments.

"I stan the right person @kj_apa," one person said.

"You have no right to say that to gay people. We as CHRISTIANS should spread love not JUDGE! @kj_apa you did a right thing. God bless all of us 🙏🏻💙✨," someone else added.

KJ has talked about his religion before, saying he's Christian and that he needs God "everyday." In an interview with Elle, KJ said he leans on his religion to keep him grounded.

"I'm a Christian, so my relationship with my spiritual side and relationship with God is everything to me. And my family," he said. "I don't really like the word 'fame'. I don't really—it's a tricky thing for me to talk about. But I guess being on the show does change things a little bit. But I don't really think it changes you, your character, unless you allow it to.
