Prime Video has just released an action film that’s likely to trend not only in August but throughout the entire year. “One Fast Move” stars KJ Apa from “Riverdale” and Maia Reficco from “Pretty Little Liars: Original Sin” in a romance that promises to captivate audiences.
However, their bond isn’t the main plot of the movie. Apa plays Wes Neal, a troubled young man who seeks to reconnect with his estranged ex-racer father in hopes of learning the ways of professional road racing.
Apa and Reficco’s side story adds depth and energy to the picture, with some reviews even calling it the production’s standout element. Their chemistry is so convincing that it has sparked speculation about whether the two might share a romantic bond off-screen.
All on KJ Apa and Maia Reficco’s relationship
While “One Fast Move” is packed with action, the excitement isn’t limited to just the motorcycle and racing scenes. KJ Apa and Maia Reficco have crafted an on-screen romance that makes your heart race, so much so that it has sparked rumors of a real-life relationship.
In the film, Apa’s character, Wes, crosses paths with Camila, a small-town waitress portrayed by Reficco who turns his world upside down and teaches him the importance of slowing down in his pursuit of becoming a professional racer.
It’s common for fans to ship co-stars in these type of flicks, but the chemistry between these two is undeniably intense. The solid speculation began after the duo spoke openly about the intimate process they went through to nail their scenes together.
As they revealed to The Nerds of Color, they had no chemistry read or prior meetings before filming. The first time they met was on the day they started shooting, making them complete strangers. However, KJ appreciated this aspect of the production: “The getting to know each other, the physicality, the romance, all happens quite fast. There’s a fire to it, you know?”
Maia also expressed her emotional connection to their on-screen relationship, saying, “Watching them be so real amid so much chaos is very beautiful. There’s something so raw about KJ’s performance and how he played Wes. I think that groundedness and authenticity are so tangible when it comes to love. With Wes, he’s just authentic.”
Do these heartfelt sentiments hint at something more? While K.J. Apa ended his relationship with Clara Berry, the mother of his child, in 2021, Maia was spotted in April sharing a kiss with a young man outside the entertainment industry during a walk in Rome. If she is still dating him, which seems likely, we might need to keep the “One Fast Move” ship to ourselves, as it is not so probable that Apa and Reficco share more than a very friendly work connection.
