By late Thursday night, the video had been viewed 10 million times, retweeted 300,000 times, liked over 650,000 times and inspired a fledgling fan campaign for Bass to become the star of a Miles Morales-frontedPretty quickly, helped immeasurably by mass tagging on Twitter, the video had also caught the eye of some of the biggest names in Hollywood with replies and retweets from the likes of Oscar-winner Matthew Cherry, voice actor Tara Strong.
More than retweets, the official Lonely Island twitter account said it had forwarded the video to Disney and VFX giant Industrial Light & Magic, actor Zach Braff urged Gunn to "hire this man," and yes, the video, eventually, caught the notice of Disney executive chairman Bob Iger himself, who replied, "The world’s gonna know your name!" over direct message late on Thursday. "I absolutely had no idea it'd get this big.
"It's insane. No other way to put it," Bass says of reaction to the video and the outpouring of enthusiasm for his work.
As far as I'm concerned, he's hired. I'll put him on MY payroll if no one else does. Looks like RobertIger and I will be having a bidding war on this guy.

I have friends that have more mature reels who can't get a foot in the door. Props to him for finding a shortcut, but it really pains me to tell my friends that this is not reality, normal people are held to a higher standard, even higher if they don't have the right passport.
If you patronizing tiktok, that is owned by CCP, you are helping a tyrant Xi destroy Democracy StandWithHK Pls understand if you use that platform ... you are helping CCP terrorize, harass, imprison and kill freedom-loving ppl in HongKong
