Actor Simu Liu made an appearance on Sunday in the latest episode of “The Simpsons” as the future husband of Lisa Simpson’s “visionary tech giant.”
Liu, known for his starring role in Marvel’s “Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings,” plays Hubert Wong, a successful businessman who appears to be an amalgamation of well-known tech billionaires, including former Apple CEO Steve Jobs, and the CEO of Tesla. Elon Musk.
For his proposal to Lisa on the moon, Hubert spent $20 million to develop a kissable space suit, an apparent nod to recent space expeditions by billionaires like Musk and Jeff Bezos. Hubert eventually becomes the creator of the ePhone.
The season 34 episode, which takes place after Lisa graduates from college, follows the romantic relationship between her and child molester Nelson Muntz after they first meet since the fourth grade. The episode includes multiple time jumps, beginning with Nelson and Lisa reuniting before they graduated from college.
Five years after that, Lisa and Hubert are on a train celebrating her election as TIME’s “Person of the Year”, when she bumps into Nelson. Hubert tells Nelson, who bullied her in grade school, that he won the prize Nelson’s heart desired most: Lisa. The time jumps that follow include Hubert and Lisa’s separation, their reconciliation, and Nelson and Lisa’s reunification once more.
Liu took to Instagram to share her excitement about the recent episode.
“He screwed up and married Lisa Simpson?!?! How lucky can a boy be? Oh yeah, and the TIME thing isn’t bad either. Sorry Milhouse, it sucks to suck,” she wrote.
“The Simpsons” also welcomed Simu and her character to the show’s universe on Twitter after the episode aired.
