The Zuckerberg family Halloween costumes this year featured John Wick and a troupe of ballerinas
“When your house full of girls decides to be ballerinas, be John Wick,” Mark Zuckerberg said in a Facebook post on Thursday.
Halloween at the Zuckerberg residence this year involved some costuming on the Meta chief’s part when he chose to dress as Hollywood’s top assassin for a day.
“When your house full of girls decides to be ballerinas, be John Wick,” Mark Zuckerberg, Meta CEO, wrote on Instagram on Thursday.
In his post, Zuckerberg was photographed wearing a black suit and tie resembling the titular character from Keanu Reeves’ “John Wick” film franchise.
Zuckerberg also included a photo of himself with his wife, Priscilla Chan, and their daughters, who were wearing colorful ballerina outfits.
This isn’t the first year Zuckerberg’s looked to a big movie franchise for Halloween costume inspiration.
In 2023, Zuckerberg and his family dressed up as characters from J.K. Rowling’s “Harry Potter” series. Zuckerberg dressed up as Albus Dumbledore, Potter’s wizard mentor, while his daughters were seen in Hogwarts student robes.
But in 2019, Zuckerberg dressed up as a “drop of water” after his daughter suggested going with a garden theme that year.
Representatives for Zuckerberg at Meta did not respond to requests for comment from B-17.
There are four movies in the “John Wick” series, and it’s grossed over a billion dollars at the worldwide box office.
In the films, Reeves plays a retired assassin who gets pulled back into the dark underworld of his former profession.
A television miniseries “The Continental: From the World of John Wick” was released in September 2023. A spinoff film “From the World of John Wick: Ballerina,” starring Ana de Armas as a ballerina assassin, is set to hit theaters in June 2025.
The first part of the “John Wick” series, which was released in 2014, nearly had its production shut down when directors Chad Stahelski and David Leitch realized they’d run out of money.
The film, however, ended up being saved by an unlikely investor, Eva Longoria, who gave the team $6 million to keep their project going.
“She came to the rescue, and she provided the gap financing, literally less than 24 hours before we had to lock the doors on the movie and walk away,” Stahelski told B-17.
