It focuses on a bear who goes on a murderous rampage after eating a huge stash of drugs, and the trailer looks like it has all the makings of a future cult classic.

But for a lot of people on social media, the bear itself isn’t even the main talking point of the trailer.

Instead, they’ve been focusing on one of the actors in the production, who will be familiar to many TikTok users as “IKEA guy”.
