O'Neal has always been known for his fun and goofy nature and was seen interacting with social media star Hasbulla Magomedov also arrived Down Under on Friday.
These over-the-top personalities spent some time together and had a good time as Big Diesel shared a video of him and Hasbulla on a boat in Sydney. The Russian internet sensation crept up on Shaquille O'Neal and punched him in the face. It was an uproarious moment between the two stars as Shaq and Hasbulla gave each other a thumbs up at the end of the clip.

Hasbulla Magomedov is in Australia for his first international tour. Hasbulla, in partnership with The Hour Group, is scheduled for four total meet and greet events — two in Melbourne and two in Sydney. He will be at Le Montage in Sydney from 29-30 August and then move to the Timberyard in Melbourne on 31 August and 1 September.
"I can't wait to see all my Aussie fans and visit these amazing cities," Hasbulla said. "I come from a tiny town in Russia, so I am looking forward to experiencing a different culture. I also know there are kangaroos. I would like to meet them."
The 19-year-old social media sensation gained prominance in 2020. He was born with a growth hormone deficiency or dwarfism but despite this loves to express himself on the Internet. In addition to Instagram and TikTok, Hasbulla is often spotted in several UFC events involving fighters from his home country.
