He gets clap back.

According to Entertainment Weekly:

Marvel’s newest superhero has sure come a long way.

Simu Liu, star of Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings, called back to his past career stint as a stock image model in celebrating his new film’s success at the box office.

Sharing an image of himself posing with two other models around a computer, the actor tweeted, “Me laughing at the people who thought we’d flop.”

People have long noticed that, yes, it was Liu’s face popping up in various stock images of office workers.

“I did ONE stock photo shoot fro 100 bucks cash in 2014… and I have ended up on HUNDREDS of ads and storefronts and pamphlets and textbook covers,” the star of Kim’s Convenience once wrote on an Instagram Story, as cited by BuzzFeed. “Moral of the story; Think twice before doing a stock photo shoot because they own the photos FOREVER.”

The shoot has apparently haunted him for years.
