This is not a drill, Jennifer Coolidge is officially on TikTok.
The White Lotus actress arrived on the platform in the most Jennifer Coolidge way possible, by blessing us with a poem beside Shotgun Wedding co-star Jennifer Lopez.
As you do.
‘Hi, this is my first TikTok,’ the 61-year-old began her debut clip, in front of a green screen.
‘And I was trying to think of something cool to do, and I think I’m just gonna do a poem that I like.’
Of course, she swerved picking a sonnet and instead went with something a little more current.
Trying out TikTok! ?? @jlo
Don’t be fooled by the rocks that I got,’ she continued. I’m still Jenny, Jenny, Jenny from the block.’
Coolidge then panned the camera over the JLo, who revealed she was a fan of the Jenny From The Block rendition.
‘I like that,’ she added. ‘I really, really like that.’
Petition for the Legally Blonde icon to work on a spoken word album of her biggest hits, anyone?
Fans will be able to see the Jennifers back on screen together very shortly as Shotgun Wedding is set for release on January 27.
In the flick, Lopez stars as bride-to-be Darcy, who is set to marry fiancé Tom (Josh Duhamel) in a stunning destination wedding in the Philippines, surrounded by all of their loved ones – including her future mother-in-law, Carol (Jennifer).
Unfortunately, their dream day is crashed by mysterious armed men who arrive in paradise to hold their guests hostage, putting a slight dampener on their big day.
In one stand-out scene, Coolidge gets her hands on one of their guns and unleashes huge amounts of chaos – very similar to that White Lotus finale.
Chatting to Metro.co.uk about jumping straight into the action, she confessed that movie bosses were ‘very worried’ about her handling the weapon behind the scenes.
‘They were very worried about me and the AK-47 that I was handling,’ she told us. ‘It was many, many, many weeks with the gun man … the guy who handles all the guns.
‘He was so meticulous about how I was supposed to handle it, each day we’d just do a little more. So, when I finally got to do the scene, it was very easy to do.
‘We’re not using real ammunition but things can go wrong, and he just made sure that there was no possibility of anything going wrong.
‘I’m now a full studied person. I got my graduate degree in gun study.
‘But it’s very powerful to be a girl [with the gun] in a movie, it was fun. They usually let the guys do it.’
