Reese Witherspoon embarrasses son Deacon Phillippe with TikTok dance to his first single
Reese Witherspoon proved celebrities really are just like us, complete with the ability to embarrass their children, when she created a TikTok dance set to her son Deacon Reese Phillippe's first single.
After Deacon released the song 'Long Run' with Scottish singer Nina Nesbitt, his celebrity mom celebrated by telling him, "Deacon, I should make up a TikTok dance to this song!"
Like many teen sons, he looked embarrassed by his mom's dance moves. She posted the video on both Instagram and TikTok, where the video received more than 17 million views. However, it doesn't look like the dance caught on quite yet.
When your kid has his first single... you gotta dance! 🎶#longrun @deaconphillippe @ninanesbitt

Her celebrity friends were also fans of her dance moves. Gwyneth Paltrow and Selma Blair both weighed in. Paltrow wrote, "We mortify them, but it’s from pure love! Way to go Deacon!" Paltrow wrote and Blair said, "Makes me smile so broadly. Congratulations!"
Eva Longoria, Octavia Spencer and Isla Fisher also applauded him. Nesbitt even wrote, "I need to see this dance."
Even Deacon was appreciative of his proud mom. He wrote, "Hahahahah I love you" on the post.
