In what has to be the most bizarre celebrity sighting of the year, actor Mike Myers has been discovered living in a swamp just outside the city! That’s right—the man behind Austin Powers and Wayne’s World has apparently taken up residence in the wilderness, and the discovery has left fans scratching their heads.
The swamp, located on the outskirts of LA, has been Myers’ home for what appears to be several months. Locals reported seeing the actor in full survival mode—fishing in muddy waters, munching on onions, collecting firewood, and even building a makeshift shelter. But when curious onlookers finally confronted him, asking whether his newfound swamp life had anything to do with his iconic role as Shrek, Myers became oddly defensive.
“It has NOTHING to do with Shrek!” Myers reportedly shouted, looking flustered. “This is just where I choose to live right now! Shrek’s not real! He’s an animated character! I’m just… embracing nature, okay?!”
Despite his protests, the coincidence hasn’t been lost on anyone. Fans and internet sleuths are already having a field day, posting memes of Myers in the swamp next to images of Shrek’s swampy abode. Many are speculating that perhaps the actor has become a bit too attached to the ogre life.
Some fans have even started leaving onions at the edge of the swamp—an homage to Shrek’s famous line about ogres being like onions—though Myers has yet to acknowledge them.
While Myers continues to insist his swamp life is just “a personal retreat,” the world isn’t buying it. With one hiker going on record to Eighty-Eight KRC that Myers told him, and I quote, “It’s All Ogre Now.” Shrek or not, there’s more to this story than meets the eye… much like an onion.
