NOT IN KANSAS ANYMORE: Every once in a while, Charles Melton has a “pinch me” moment. Friday night was one of them.
“I’m just a kid from Kansas, I don’t wear things like this everyday,” said the “Riverdale” actor, speaking at the Balmain show held in the cavernous Grande Halle de la Villette, an event center in the north of Paris.
