Courtney B. Vance has become a TikTok star, but not by choice
During his appearance on The Jennifer Hudson Show on Monday, Oct. 6, the actor shared how his 19-year-old daughter loves featuring him in her videos and sometimes without much warning.
“I come home, got my bathrobe on or something. Just doing something. All of a sudden I look like I’m in a TikTok. How did this happen? And what do I say?” said Vance.
He laughed while watching a clip of his family dancing, adding, “Oh, this is the one they bring me in and just make me look like a fool,” he said. “Oh, they’re not going to show this one. I come down, and then everybody stops. They set me up. But it’s all good. I’m a TikTok superstar now. She’s turned me into a TikTok superstar.”

Vance, who shares twins Bronwyn and Slater with wife Angela Bassett, also opened up about whether his children might follow in their parents’ footsteps.
“They’re sophomores, so we don’t know. Our son just actually got cast in his first play. Maybe two plays, or something like that,” he shared
“And then our daughter, I think, is going to major in film and sociology,” Vance continued. “We’re excited for them. We’re going to be tickled to see what God’s going to do. I don’t know. We’re just going to support where God leads them. We’re excited for them.”
Vance and Bassett married in 1997, and after years of trying IVF, welcomed fraternal twins Bronwyn Golden Vance and Slater Josiah Vance via surrogate in 2006.
Now that both are in college, Bassett says it’s been an adjustment for the whole family.
“It’s a great, big transition for them,” she told Hello earlier this year. “But I think you underestimate the transition that it is for you.”
She added, “You think you’re gonna cry. That’s all everyone ever talks about, dropping them off at college and saying goodbye,” adding: “But it’s about going home in the house now, not hearing their voice, their energy not coming through.”
