Liam Neeson's Labubu Laughter: Fans Roast Reporter Over 'Cringe' Question!
SPOILER ALERT: LIAM NEESON TAKES A BITE OUT OF THE LABUBU TREND
In a shocking turn of events, Liam Neeson found himself in uncharted territory during his press tour for The Naked Gun - and it wasn't just the film's slapstick humor that left him bewildered. The 73-year-old actor, known for his sharp wit and charm, was caught off guard by a reporter's question about the latest internet sensation: Labubus.
The Metro reporter, who shall remain nameless, decided to throw Liam into the deep end of social media trends with a photo of a Labubu, asking the veteran actor if he knew what it was. The usually poised Neeson responded with a healthy dose of skepticism, "Haven't a clue... No. Seriously, I don't know."
The reporter pressed on, attempting to educate Liam about the furry trend that has taken the internet by storm. But before we dive into the juicy details, let's set the scene: Liam Neeson is in the middle of promoting his new film, and Pamela Anderson is firmly on the arm - or rather, the heart - of this silver screen legend.
Back to the Labubu conundrum: the reporter explained that these fluffy dolls have become a hot commodity, with people even fighting over them. But Liam remained oblivious, asking if you can eat them (because, why not?). The reporter chuckled at Liam's naivety and revealed that he himself owns a pink one. Liam's response? "Doesn't surprise me." One can almost hear the hint of amusement in his voice.
But things took an awkward turn when the reporter showed Liam a picture of a Lafufu, which he promptly guessed was an early drawing of E.T. The reporter set him straight, explaining that it was actually a Labubu without the hair - and Liam's response was nothing short of cringe-worthy: "And without the genitals." Ouch.
THE LABUBU FRENZY TAKES OVER THE INTERNET
The internet is abuzz with reactions to this unexpected exchange. Some fans are outraged, claiming that actors should be spared such ridiculous questions on their press tours. One user took to X (formerly Twitter) to vent: "Why do actors have to deal with this nonsense? Are there real reporters or interviewers anymore?" Another chimed in, accusing the media of trying to manufacture viral moments rather than having genuine conversations.
But not everyone is buying into the outrage. Some fans are defending the reporter's line of questioning, saying that it's just a harmless attempt to poke fun at the latest trend. "Celebrities have been asked about dumb s**t for as long as celebrities have existed," one fan pointed out.
However, others believe that this interview style is a symptom of a larger problem: the influencer era and its relentless pursuit of viral moments. As one user passionately argued, "The influencer era and its consequences has been devastating for society... You can't escape their wrath and poison."
LIAM NEESON'S LOVE LIFE TAKES CENTER STAGE
With all this commotion surrounding the Labubu trend, it's easy to forget that Liam Neeson is actually promoting a new film - The Naked Gun, featuring none other than Pamela Anderson. Their romance has been making headlines, but even the most devoted fans are starting to get tired of questions about their relationship.
In fact, some users are calling for a return to traditional press tour interviews, where reporters focus on the film and not the stars' personal lives. "Back in my day, they'd ask the actors questions about the movie on the press tour," one fan reminisced wistfully.
As the dust settles on this unexpected exchange, one thing is clear: Liam Neeson may be a seasoned pro when it comes to press tours, but even he couldn't have predicted the absurdity that would come with discussing Labubus. Stay tuned for more updates from The Scholarly Note!
