Michelle Yeoh takes a shine to Labubu made for Hong Kong panda cubs’ birthday
Oscar-winning actress among celebrities sent unique Labubu dolls as part of campaign by creator and Hong Kong tourism authorities
Oscar-winning actress Michelle Yeoh has become the latest celebrity to take part in a Hong Kong tourism drive after sharing a fun social media picture with a Labubu doll specially made to mark the first birthday of the city’s panda twins later this month.
The star on Monday shared a photo on Instagram of her holding up the Labubu doll, which is cradling the twin pandas in its arms, above a bucket of popcorn.
“Celebrating Hong Kong-born panda twins’ first birthday (and my birthday too) with Labubu in the Hollywood Bowl,” she wrote.
In other pictures, Yeoh was also seen holding the special doll with American actor Jeff Goldblum, known for his role in the movie Jurassic Park, as well as British actress and singer Cynthia Erivo.
Yeoh is among celebrities around the world who received the unique Labubu doll as part of the Culture, Sports and Tourism Bureau’s collaboration with the toy’s creator, Kasing Lung, to celebrate the first birthday of Hong Kong’s panda cub twins and promote the city.
Under the collaboration, the Hong Kong Tourism Board partnered with Lung to send out the distinctive dolls to celebrities and famous influencers to showcase online.
