Woman in viral Chewbacca Facebook live video meets her idol

The pure joy that Candace Payne felt upon getting a Chewbacca mask has been seen over 140 million times—an incredible record that has caught the eye of, well, 140 million people. One of them is Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg.

Zuckerberg invited Payne to the Facebook headquarters in California and made her the happiest person in the world (at that moment anyway) again by introducing her to Chewbacca in real life.

It hardly matters that what Candace really got was a day out with a man in a suit, because if she can find sheer bliss in wearing a mask that makes a noise, imagine what overwhelming feeling of happiness she felt when she saw Chewbacca?

Payne shared another video from the Facebook headquarters, showing off a plaque she received certifying her status as an online star.

She graciously shared her moment with the people who developed Facebook live. The feature was launched on April 6, with Zuckerberg emphasizing the platform's push to connect people with their friends more personally. —ALG, GMA News
