Shang-Chi Fans Freak Out After Simu Liu's Hilarious Old Stock Photos Resurface

✖

Marvel's Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings arrived in theaters this weekend, introducing audiences to a whole new corner of the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Leading the film's epic ensemble is Shang-Chi (Simu Liu), and fans have already been eager to see exactly what his future holds within the franchise. Now that the film has been released to the masses, some have also begun to explore previous aspects of Liu's career -- including his brief stint as a stock photo model. Liu can be found in a series of business-themed stock photos, which, as the actor has previously revealed on Twitter, were initially taken in 2014.

Call @Alanis Morissette because I just died from irony. I did a stock photo shoot in 2014 and it ended up here. I used to be an accountant. pic.twitter.com/2spNQuG4MH

Now that Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings has taken the world (and the box office) by storm and more fans than ever are aware of Liu, the stock photos have taken on a life of their own, inspiring some pretty delightful tweets. Here are just a few of them.
