Martin Scorsese opens up about creating TikTok videos with daughter Francesca

Martin Scorsese shares how playful TikTok videos with his daughter Francesca turned them into viral stars.

Martin Scorsese, the iconic Oscar-winning filmmaker, is making waves on TikTok with his daughter Francesca Scorsese. In a recent interview with People magazine, Scorsese revealed that he didn’t initially grasp the platform’s popularity but has since embraced it, thanks to his daughter’s encouragement. “I didn’t know about TikTok,” he admitted. “She said, ‘Dad, just do this for a minute,’ and the next thing I know, it’s all over the world.”

The duo’s videos often feature Francesca teaching her father Gen Z slang or narrating her makeup tutorials, bringing a humorous generational dynamic to the platform. While Scorsese enjoys their collaborations, he shared that he occasionally turns down video ideas he feels are “going too far.”

Earlier this year, their playful chemistry was showcased in a Squarespace Super Bowl campaign, where Francesca helped her father navigate website creation. Francesca has also found amusement in her father’s attempts to stay current with her generation’s trends, noting that hearing him use phrases like “that slaps” or “I’m so woke” is both funny and endearing.

As Scorsese balances his legendary film career with lighthearted TikTok moments, he continues to show that bridging generational gaps can be both entertaining and heartwarming. The Scorseses’ viral videos have cemented their place as an unexpected yet beloved duo on social media.
