In case you weren’t aware, the Naked Gun sequel The Naked Gun stars Liam Neeson as the equally chaotic son of the franchise’s original star, Leslie Nielsen. We don’t know if they’re picking their leads by initials, but from the newly released trailer it looks as though they’ve chosen wisely.

Here’s what they’ve teased.

We fully expect Leslie Nielsen fans to be sceptical, but we weren’t prepared for this reaction from what used to be a true crime and unsolved mysteries account, @creepydotorg.

This echoes a conspiracy theory that the Hollywood ‘elites’ force newcomers into humiliating situations to make it clear what their position is in the industry pecking order. You know – newcomers like Liam whatsisname …er, Neeson.

We couldn’t swear it wasn’t just a joke or naked (see what we did there?) engagement farming, but if it was the latter – mission accomplished.

Here are our favourites from that engagement.

The brilliant Liam Nissan™, who is frequently mistaken for Liam Neeson by the Maga faithful, gets the last word.
