Marvel star Simu Liu met up with YouTube streamer IShowSpeed during his viral trip across Southeast Asia to congratulate the broadcaster on his ever-growing popularity.
IShowSpeed is currently on a tour of Southeast Asia following the overwhelming success of his trip across Europe earlier this year — and it’s safe to say that his travels are paying off big time.
Speed consistently draws massive crowds wherever he goes, sparking adorable moments with fans and even getting marriage proposals. He’s also broken a few records during his time abroad, becoming the #1 English-speaking streamer of all time thanks to his efforts.
His success isn’t going unnoticed, as he’s rubbed elbows with the likes of Manny Pacquiao during his trip… and now, even A-List actor Simu Liu is recognizing his achievements.
As Speed trekked across Singapore, he bumped into none other than Simu Liu, best known for his lead role in Marvel’s Shang Chi. Speed was clearly jazzed to meet the star, who dapped him up in a warm greeting.
“Let’s go!” an excited Speed shouted.
“I saw you on the swing, you looked badass as f*ck,” Liu remarked, referencing Speed’s ride on a massive swing in front of a crowd of onlookers.
“Nah, man, you’re the one who’s badass, man!” Speed replied.
