The internet has long been known to have fun with pre-fame photos of celebrities, and Canadian actor Simu Liu is the latest victim.
Hilarious stock model photos of the “Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings” actor from 2014 are going viral on Twitter.

Liu laughed off the images of himself posing as a construction worker, Zumba class attendee, office worker, and more on Friday’s episode of “The Tonight Show.”
“If you’re a nice model, you get paid thousands of dollars, you walk the runway… if you’re a stock model, you get paid typically a base rate of a one-day shoot of $100,” Liu told host Jimmy Fallon. “And they own the rights to the photos that they take in perpetuity. Which is very, very important. It means the rights never run out.”
