Simu Liu Called Out A Company For Using A Stock Image Of Him And Says They're Now Enemies

Before he was an actual Marvel superhero, Canadian celeb Simu Liu was a model for stock photography.

On Sunday, Mach 13, the Shang-Chi actor tweeted about Toshiba using one of his old pics, and the whole thing is pretty entertaining.

"Toshiba, whatever you paid for this photo, I guarantee you I would have endorsed you for less. Now we are enemies," Liu tweeted.

The offending photo in question shows Liu happily pointing at something in what appears to be a business setting.

People responded to his tweet by showing off some of the other unexpected places they've spotted Liu's old stock photos.

"On my EAP website," tweeted one person with a photo of Simu once again in some kind of business meeting from what appears to be the same shoot.

"I was at work ordering equipment for a patient online and realized I recognized the guy on the website lol," tweeted another.

In the picture, Liu is happily typing away at a laptop while his fake coworkers look over his shoulder. So candid, so casual!

Another user responded to the laptop picture with her own story about it.

"This same photo was in mandatory online training I had to take at work too. I was like….wait…is Shang-Chi teaching me about how to avoid phishing schemes at work?" she hilariously tweeted.

Back in December, Liu appeared on an episode of Hot Ones with Sean Evans, where he revealed some of the strangest places he's spotted his stock photos.

"I saw myself on the wall of a karate dojo," Liu said. "But we didn't do any karate photos in the stock shoot, so it was actually, it was a photo I think of me doing Zumba."

He also said that he's seen himself on the cover of an accounting textbook, which is ironic since he used to actually be an accountant and admitted that he was terrible at it.

"I wouldn't trust me to teach anybody anything about accounting."

Where will he be spotted next?
