While many gush over B.C.'s coastal city, it's not for everyone apparently.
On Live with Kelly and Ryan, Riverdale star, K.J. Apa told the hosts that he finds the City of Vancouver "boring."
He added, "the city’s not the biggest city in the world. Everything kind of shuts early as well which is - I guess is good, it keeps you…"
Ryan Seacrest finished his sentence with, “It keeps you coming to work the next day."
The star acknowledged the food was "really good" and he was a big fan of the gym where he spends a great deal of time at on a daily basis.
But Vancouver fans of Riverdale weren't pleased to hear their city dissed on live television.
"Really disappointed in how you come into our city and call it boring. I'm a big fan of the show but this has made many Vancouverites upset," stated a fan on Instagram.
Other fans felt he should take action either by apologizing, learning some manners or by leaving the city.
A few commentors, chose instead to lighten the mood a little.
"Is this a reference to me?" asked one commentor.
During a lengthy day of shooting in September, the Riverdale star was involved in a late-night car crash.
According to Hollywood Reporter, the 20-year-old fell asleep at the wheel on his way home from the set and struck a pole sometime after midnight.
Apa was discharged from hospital without any serious injuries, but his car was destroyed in the process.
Originally from New Zealand, Apa plays Archie on the hit show, which is currently in its second season.
The west coast city might not be everyone's favourite, but it is certainly well-loved by the Rock.
He's more than a month into shooting Skyscraper and is often found meeting up with fans at all hours of the day.
When he first arrived in Vancouver, he took to Instagram to show off the west coast scenery and reminisce about his earlier days in Vancouver.
Who knows, maybe the Rock will take Apa under his wing.
