Taika's "Ballin' on a Budget" story about having fake Docs. From today's Vogue Australia event.

I do not intend to stop laughing at this, in case you were wondering. (Yes, I’m sharing a Paparazzi photo, but LOOK AT IT, come on.)

Alexa, play “Vogue” by Madonna.

“he’s just the right guy for the job. he’s a sweetheart. …don’t tell him that.”

Which must also be followed up by a little glimpse into exactly what it would look like if I ever got the chance to meet him 🥲

Damn, I love when he leans in to that coastie accent. 🫦

Sending love on #TaikaTuesday to the fulla. Via, of course, the cast of Next Goal Wins. One of the extreme benefits of having a beautiful Pacific Islander cast is this kinda big love. This performance of both a Siva Tau AND a Haka for the boss is so fuckin rad. Followed by hongi for all. 🥹

Do we have any Storsh fans here? Personally, I’m always up for Taika singing in a bathrobe about death in an American accent, but that’s just me.

these reviews are diabolical 😭

The evolution is complete. The kimono tuxedo. Taika Fashion Final Boss.

Sweet Jesus...

The early reviews on Fing! are living up to the hype. The film is getting a lot of love, with comparisons to Paddington and being called a new family classic. They're especially highlighting Taika as the MVP.

Taika Waititi says his Star Wars movie in development at Lucasfilm will “harness a little more of the fun from the original films.” “The stakes are very high, and there are serious things going on, but there’s also a lot of fun to be had.” #TaikaWaititi #Fing #Sundance2026

Is this the man you- YES. YES, IT IS. What about it????? (Onstage from 2002 "Deep" - 5 Minute Call Short.) He was 27 here. 🥰

Happy #TaikaTuesday to my favorite smartass. 😂🥰🥰🥰

The air speed velocity I would reach when leaping across the room to latch onto that follicle-dusted sternum would break the sound barrier. #TaikaTuesday

dumb people: taika obviously never even cared about ofmd taika: spent 3 minutes of an a-list actor/producer panel gushing about how much the show and the way it normalizes queerness + makes so many people feel seen means to him #TaikaTuesday

I AM FOAMING AT THE MOUTH. I NEED MEDICAL ASSISTANCE #TaikaTuesday

His hair here is a slap in the face to every classical artist who has ever lifted a brush to canvas. Sometimes beauty has no substitution, and there is no greater proof than these exquisite curls. Apologies to the Sistine chapel. #TaikaTuesday

Help

And another one! #taikatuesday

Alemein, my beloved. The rain has me feeling blue so I need to see my sad boy. #TaikaTuesday

Obsessed!

I can’t be certain, but I have a strong feeling that part of this footage will appear in the ‘Toitū: Visual Sovereignty’ film that he has promoted on Instagram. It shows the process of adding his ‘Dirty Money’ pieces to this installation at the Auckland Art Gallery.

Fml he is just the absolute fucking cutest #taikawaititi

totally off-topic but with the takeover of AI in media it was really nice to watch this little featurette and see (even for a simple 3-minute-long short) the effort and creativity that actually went into drawing, animating, and bringing this adorable doodle to life with real art/vfx. as it SHOULD.

happy #taikatuesday if they ever give you a soapbox remember to beat the shit out of the microphone and blame colonizers 😌

Today’s Taika

maybe unpopular take but parasocial relationships don’t apply only to fans, when you post hate about someone by assuming shit you really have no way of knowing if it’s true or not, that’s also delusion of intimacy

a taika fashion comedy???? we might be so back???? 🔗 deadline.com/2025/11/taik...

My best friend 🥹

the way you can tell he was FEELING GOOD in this fit pslskskks

taika moderated a q&a for a special screening of the film train dreams last night!!

Taika made a Christmas ad about what is essentially a little autistic guy and I'm in my feelings 😭💖 youtu.be/9GlTylX4S7Y?...
