Let’s give it up for Godzilla Minus One director Takashi Yamazaki, whose red carpet appearances have featured his star in fashionably iconic ways. Yamazaki has taken to X (formerly Twitter) to showcase his chonky Godzilla Minus One action figure, who’s currently having his own awards season adventures.

An array of Hollywood stars have posed with the filmmaker for some of the most pure and precious photos you’ll see coming out of Hollywood, including A-listers like Steven Yeun (Beef, Nope) and legends like Harrison Ford and Robert De Niro. Oh, to be that portable kaiju for a day!
