Her 16-year-old son Deacon Phillippe dropped his first single, “Long Run,” featuring Nina Nesbitt last week. And being a proud mom, Witherspoon showed off her son’s latest accomplishment on Saturday not with a simple post on Facebook or Instagram, but through the medium of choice for Gen Z — a TikTok dance.
The TikTok video shows Witherspoon having a lightbulb moment after bopping her head to “Long Run” as Phillippe plays the tune on his phone.
Still, Phillippe doesn’t seem too excited about the idea as he covers his eyes and lets out a “No, mom, no!”
Witherspoon carries on in true mom mode, dancing and grooving to the music.
But despite his embarrassment, Phillippe showed that he appreciated her support by commenting on the post with “Hahahahah I love you.”
Witherspoon’s video has racked up millions of views on both TikTok and Instagram and other celebrities are chiming in with their support for Phillippe’s single.
“We mortify them, but it’s from pure love! Way to go Deacon!” actress Gwyneth Paltrow commented.
“Great song and DANCE,” actress Octavia Spencer wrote.
