“Can you eat it?": Liam Neeson has no idea what the internet’s obsession with Labubus is about

Liam Neeson is completely lost on the internet’s latest obsession.

During a recent Fox News interview, the movie icon was shown a photo of a Labubu, the wildly popular Chinese plush doll that’s been all over social media this year.

Looking genuinely puzzled, Liam Neeson responded:

“I have no clue, no. Seriously, I don’t know.”

When told the name, his confusion only deepened.

“Okay. It’s a fluffy doll. Or, can you eat it?”

Social media quickly lit up with various reactions to Liam Neeson's authentic response to the popular doll.

"this is the only rationale answer from anyone - what a gem of a human, he is!" one wrote.

"Watching his face go from curiosity to concern cracks me up," another said.

"Good to see him treating them with the absurdity they deserve," an X user commented.

"The 'It does not surprise me' made me laugh," another tweeted.

"Liam really said what we were all thinking. Is it cute or is it food," one posted.

"Liam Neeson confused by a Labubu? Guess even Taken heroes can’t handle plush toys without a snack plan! 'Fluffy doll or dinner?' Priorities, Liam," another online user chimed in.

"Is this supposed to be an interview because why are you asking a 70 year old man what a labubu is," one added.

While The Naked Gun star might not be sold on the fuzzy collectibles, other celebrities have embraced them. And whether or not he joins the plush craze, Liam Neeson has other reasons to smile.

The Naked Gun is earning critical praise, and reports suggest he’s in a relationship with co-star Pamela Anderson.

Liam Neeson and Pamela Anderson are dating, source says

After their apparent closeness during promotional tours - including a moment where Liam Neeson and Pamela Anderson joked about making out - they have been confirmed to be dating, according to an insider.

The source informed People:

"It's a budding romance in the early stages. It's sincere, and it's clear they're smitten with each other."

Neeson and Anderson have neither confirmed nor denied the real status of their relationship, but both have sung praises for each other in separate interviews.

In October 2024, the Taken actor told People:

“With Pamela, first off, I'm madly in love with her. She's just terrific to work with. I can't compliment her enough, I'll be honest with you. No huge ego. She just comes in to do the work. She's funny and so easy to work with."

For the Baywatch alum, Neeson is "the perfect gentleman." In July, she praised her co-star in her Entertainment Weekly interview:

"I think I have a friend forever in Liam. We definitely have a connection that is very sincere, very loving. He's a good guy."

Meanwhile, The Naked Gun premiered in theaters on Aug. 1. Neeson plays the role of Frank Drebin's son, while Anderson is his love interest, Beth.
