Jennifer Coolidge makes an iconic TikTok debut with help from Jennifer Lopez
Coolidge showed her poetry reading skills to everyone on the app, and even gave them a surprise cameo from JLo.
If anyone knows how to make a viral TikTok entrance it’s Jennifer Coolidge.
On January 20, during a press day for her upcoming film ‘Shotgun Wedding’, Coolidge created and posted her first ever TikTok video with help from Jennifer Lopez.
“Hi, this is my first TikTok, and I tried to think of something cool to do and I think I’m just gonna do a poem that I like,” the ‘White Lotus’ star explained.
After a deep breath Coolidge begins to dramatically give a heartfelt reciting of the 2002 hit song ‘Jenny From the Block.’
The already iconic video then cuts to Coolidge turning the camera to a very mesmerized Lopez.
“I like that. I really, really like that.” Lopez responds.
As of time of publishing Coolidge’s account has over 700,000 followers, and the viral video has received over 1.5 million likes, six million views and 28,000 comments from both fans and friends.
‘Scandal’ actress Kerry Washington responded saying “Welcome!!!! Xo” with a laughing face emoji.
While her ‘White Lotus’ co-stars Meghann Fahy commented, “I just liked this twice,” Haley Lu Richardson wrote, “Oh my actual god,” and Lukas Gage added, “U are my god.”
Even the Empire State Building slid into Coolidge’s comment section saying “COME TO THE EMPIRE STATE BUILDING FOR A VIP VISIT WE WOULD LOVE TO HAVE YOU QUEEN.”
Lopez also took the chance to repost the TikTok Coolidge made, and celebrate the star’s arrival to the popular app with the caption “Happy JENNUARY @jennifercoolidge 👏 @primevideo #ShotgunWedding”
