Martin Scorsese made an iconic TikTok debut on Tuesday, starring in a hilarious video posted by his 21-year-old daughter Francesca Scorsese.
Taking part in the “Guess the Object” TikTok challenge, Francesca quizzed the acclaimed director on what she labeled “feminine items,” including a scrunchie, a menstrual cup, and an eyelash curler:
@francescascorseseI will probably regret posting this but…. he actually did much better than I thought!!?##martinscorsese ##guesstheobjectchallenge ##fyp ##greenscreen♬ Spongebob – Dante9k
“I will probably regret posting this but…. he actually did much better than I thought!” Francesca captioned the video, as her father scored roughly 57 percent (if we’re being generous.)
Scorsese sort-of, kind-of successfully guessed a handful items, including an eyelash curler, which he called “mascara,” a beauty blender, which he labeled as, “some sort of cosmetic thing that you use,” and a bobby pin — an item so “easy” that he was offended it was even included on the list.
“Come on! What is this? Wasting my time,”
Scorsese did struggle with some products, calling a menstrual cup a “flagon,” which is a large vessel often used to carry alcoholic beverages. He later changed his answer to “eye cup,” which is also very much incorrect.
“That’s some sort of … weird pillow of some kind,” Scorsese later said of a hair donut, which is generally used to perfect a bun or another updo.
