'Chewbacca Mom' visits Facebook HQ and continues to have the time of her life
She recently appeared alongside JJ Abrams on The Late Late Show
‘Chewbacca Mom’ is currently living the high life; having amassed over 141 million Facebook Live plays of her viral video in less than a week, the internet sensation soon appeared alongside JJ Abrams on James Corden’s The Late Late Show.
Not only that, but the stay-at-home mother has been interviewed by Good Morning America, been sent countless Star Wars toys, and led to Chewbacca masks selling out in Toy Stores across the world.
Adding to the growing number of fun things she’s been able to do since the hilarious video amassed millions of shares, Candace Payne visited the Facebook HQ to hang out with Chewbacca. Soon after, Mark Zuckerberg posted the photos onto his account, the post amassing almost one million likes as of writing.
This isn’t the only Chewbacca related surprise Payne has had within the last week: in a message to The Late Late Show, Peter Mayhew revealed he has set aside four VIP tickets for Payne and her family so they can have a private meet and great with him.
How long the perks will come rolling in for ‘Chewbacca Mom’, who can say? But with her fun-loving attitude, we can likely expect her to hang around in the internet’s consciousness for at least another few days. Perhaps a reality TV show outing to follow? Eek.
