MARK HAMILL Twitter 'Likes'
His Name... CONFIRMS
VIRAL THEORY VASTLY TRUE
Mark Hamill Proves Theory That Tweeting His Name Will Get Over 1k Likes
People sure do love them some Mark Hamill -- even if it just means the guy's name getting men- tioned ... by either him or anyone else, which is turning into a viral game of sorts.
The "Star Wars" vet is trending right now ... and it's all because he name-dropped himself in response to a Twitter user sug- gesting (or daring?) that he could garner well over a thousand "likes" on the platform by merely writing "Mark Hamill." That's how much he's adored.
Welp, he caught wind of her theory ... and decided to put it to the test, which ended up in staggering
results -- not to men- tion others getting in on the fun as well.
Dude quote-tweeted this chick and did exactly what she said ... writing simply, "Mark Hamill." As of right now ... that same tweet is on its way to 100k likes, and over 4k retweets!!!
Sure enough, the Internet took notice ... and wanted to try it
out themselves -- almost like a Candyman thing, where if you say his name ... Twitter likes will appear. Some are finding success --
like George Takei, who did the same and has racked up over 4k likes.
Ditto for actor Ken Olin ... who openly wondered if the rule would apply to any Schmo who tried this -- and yes ... his
"Mark Hamill" tweet is also taking off, with well over 3k likes.
Of course, normies (AKA, non-blue checkmarks) are hav- ing a harder time get- ting the "like" love on their own timeline ... which just goes to show, a little Twitter notoriety goes a long way. Followers help too ... but it seems this "challenge" is reserved for the bird app elite.
As for the OG poster for this trend ... she's basking in the Hamill glory, especially since he digs her "Star Wars" memes and mega-fandom. He's even commenting on her other tweets.
And you thought tag- ging your fave celeb was a waste. Never know, they might be reading!
