Liam Neeson asks if Labubu toy is edible in viral interview

Veteran actor Liam Neeson has gone viral for his hilarious reaction to being shown a Labubu toy for the first time.

During a recent promotional interview, Neeson was introduced to the viral plush figure that's become a collector sensation across Asia and social media.

Upon seeing the fluffy creature, the Taken star blinked in confusion and asked, “Okay… it’s a fluffy doll or can you eat it?” His deadpan delivery immediately sparked laughter from both the interviewer and fans online.

Labubu, a mischievous-looking character from the Hong Kong-based brand The Monsters by Kasing Lung, has become a trending item among toy collectors and K-pop fans, particularly after being seen with idols like BLACKPINK’s Jennie and BTS’s J-Hope. The quirky toy’s popularity has made it a frequent subject in TikTok videos and unboxing hauls, but Neeson’s humorous take on it adds a new layer of charm to its legacy.

Clips of the actor’s reaction quickly made their way around X (formerly Twitter), TikTok, and Instagram, with fans calling it one of the “most Liam Neeson things ever.”

While Neeson may be more familiar with action thrillers than collectible toys, his brief encounter with Labubu has endeared him to a whole new generation of internet users. The moment also highlights the ongoing cultural crossover between traditional Hollywood and global pop culture trends.
