A video showing a Minnie Mouse actor taking a smoke break in Las Vegas has racked up more than 20 million views on TikTok.

The filmer told Newsflare: "While walking along the Las Vegas Strip, right in front of the iconic Mirage Hotel, I came across this unexpected scene: an older man dressed in a full Minnie Mouse costume, casually taking a smoke break.

"With the character’s oversized head lifted above his own, he stood there completely at ease, scrolling on his phone with a cigarette in hand. The moment felt so surreal and oddly human that I instinctively pulled out my phone and recorded it.

"It’s a raw glimpse behind the mask — a lighthearted, almost absurd contrast between the fantasy of street performance and the everyday reality beneath it."
