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.”
