Confronted With a Labubu, Liam Neeson Asks, 'Can You Eat It?'

The wildly popular plush toys from China have completely taken over in the past few months.

Liam Neeson doesn't know what to do with the internet's favorite new trend.

In an interview with Fox News, the 73-year-old was asked if he recognized what a Labubu was when presented with a photo of the popular Chinese plush dolls, which have taken over the internet this year.

"I have no clue, no," he said with a baffled look on his face. "Seriously, I don't know." When he was told it was a Labubu, he seemed even more confused. "Okay," he said, bemused. "It's a fluffy doll. Or, can you eat it?"

The Irish actor and star of The Naked Gun might not be impressed with whatever is going on with Labubus right now, but several other celebrities are all in on the trend. One of the most notable celebrities to show their love for Labubus is Megan Thee Stallion, who shared a video last month showing off some of hers.

Neeson does have plenty to be happy about at the moment, trendy dolls or no. The Naked Gun has been garnering critical acclaim, and it's recently been reported that he's in a relationship with his co-star, Pamela Anderson.

ComplexCon returns to Las Vegas on October 25–26, 2025, with over 300 brands and live performances by Young Thug, YEAT & Friends, Peso Pluma, Central Cee, Ken Carson, and more. Get your tickets now.
