Candace Payne, the mom who posted a viral video of her wearing a growling Chewbacca mask, told “Good Morning America” about the best part of her experience.
The video shows Payne bursting into laughter after trying on her new Chewbacca mask in her car, while still in the parking lot at Kohl’s.
“I’m a happy Chewbacca,” she said.
“I can’t stop!” she said laughing hysterically.
Payne stumbled onto the mask, which makes the noise of Chewbacca when you open your mouth, while looking for toys for her children at Kohl’s.
Originally, she had set out to buy yoga pants for herself, she told “Good Morning America” on on May 23.
“I need to get that,” recalled Payne thinking when she saw the mask at the store, “I don’t think my kids need that, I think I need that.”
Viewers found the Chewbacca mask hilarious, but Payne’s reaction even more so.
“So much better than a video where someone is TRYING to be funny, and we just giggle a little. This right here…pure inner joy…radiating from within!,” wrote a Facebook user.
“I’m not sure what I love more…the super cool amazing mask or the level of your joy!!!” wrote another.
The viral video has been viewed over 130 million times.
