At 81 years old, Martin Scorsese continues to work tirelessly and, after the premiere of The assassins of the moon, is preparing a film about the life of Jesus Christ and a biopic of Frank Sinatra that would once again feature Leonardo DiCaprio at the helm of the cast, although at the moment both projects are on pause.
And while he rests between films, he takes the opportunity to show his nicest face and confirm himself as a TikTok star with his daughter Francesca, 24 years old. Recently, the young woman has once again delighted her followers on the social network with a funny video in which she subjects Martin to a viral challenge.
The challenge is to narrate a clip in which the young woman puts on makeup. The filmmaker, even though he has spent his entire life working with professional makeup artists in his productions, does not understand anything of what is happening in the video, although that does not prevent him from commenting with humor and amazement on the steps of the long routine.
At the beginning, when Francesca begins to apply concealer, Scorsese claims that she is “putting on face paint” and his daughter laughs in the background. A few seconds later, while the young woman darkens and combs her eyebrows, Martin says: “You don’t need to do that, but oh well.”
“How much makeup do you need?” she asks with her hand on her face, showing her confusion, as the video progresses. “Ah! My God! He’s tearing out his eye,” he comments upon seeing Francesca with the eyelash curler, pleading with her, “Oh my God! Stop that. Why are you doing that? It was terrifying.”
“And what is this for?” he asks about the mascara, already with his hand on his forehead, and remains that way while he watches her outline her lips with the pencil: “That’s too much.” The best moment comes right at the end of the clip, when the filmmaker jokingly jokes about the lipstick. “You can’t fool me with that, it’s nail polish,” she says, causing her daughter to laugh: “You’ve put nail polish on your lips.”
In the end, we can hear him laugh: “You guys are crazy.” Many other makeup influencers have shared similar and hilarious videos in which their parents, brothers or boyfriends try to narrate their makeup routine. We’ll just say that Scorsese is not among those who make the most mistakes.
Martin Scorsese and his daughter on TikTok
This is not the first time (and hopefully, it will not be the last) that Martin Scorsese conquers TikTok with a video with his daughter. Just a year ago, Francesca subjected the filmmaker to a questionnaire which forced him to choose between two films. Thanks to that, we knew that you prefer birdman to The good, the bad and the ugly; 2001: A Space Odyssey to Catch me if you can; and Pan’s Labyrinth to Lost in Translation.
A few months ago, the duo once again triumphed on the video social network with a tour around their house showing the items that prove they are film lovers: from a director’s chair with the name ‘Martin Scorsese’ to a souvenir from The red sneakers (one of the director’s favorite films) or a private screening room.
Martin Scorsese may not have a TikTok account, but he is already the most famous filmmaker on the network and the biggest draw on Francesca’s profile. Where you can find the New York director is on Instagram and you shouldn’t miss his Letterboxd account.
