It’s not every day you spot Elon Musk, Baby Yoda, 50 Cent mashed with Oprah, and Danny DeVito in the same spot.

But the famous five are captured together in a mural at Glenny Kebabs Forest Hill, on the corner of Springvale and Canterbury roads.

Glenny Kebabs owner Asad Syed said the mural, created by street artist Lushsux, went “absolutely viral” when it was first unveiled.

Mr Syed said when the business opened in Forest Hill last December, he wanted to spice up a “boring wall” at the site.

“I didn’t want to go boring and just put up our brand, so I started looking around at different ideas,” Mr Syed said.

“I know (Lushsux) is talented and very well-known so we hit him up.”

Everyone featured in the mural was in the news at the time: Elon Musk had just released the cyber truck; Baby Yoda was featured in the new Star Wars movie; 50 Cent and Oprah were involved in an online feud; and Danny DeVito had a new movie out.

“(The mural) went absolutely viral; the world’s most renowned YouTuber, (PewDiePie) who has 200 million followers, made a video about it, and other famous celebrities and pop stars starting sharing it too.

“It’s a good art piece, people come and take photos with it, with their kids or cars.”

But some new faces may pop up on the wall soon.

“We want to keep it updated – we will try and update the mural every couple of months,” Mr Syed said.

He said Glenny Kebabs had received great support since opening in Forest Hill last year.

Initially only open Wednesdays, the business now operates every day of the week.

The Forest Hill location is home to Wednesday Night Chills, where people are invited to bring along their cars and bikes and enjoy the outdoor dining vibe.

Although well-known for its Halal Snack Packs and kebabs, Mr Syed said the businesses’ desserts were starting to surpass its food in the popularity stakes, with doughnut fries and dessert snack packs proving to be a hit.
