Martin Scorsese Says He’s ‘Tricked Into’ Making TikToks With Daughter Francesca: ‘I Didn’t Know Those Things Go Viral’

1. Martin Scorsese:
   >“I was tricked into that,” Scorsese said of the movie bracket TikTok, which saw him choose “Birdman” over “The Good, the Bad and the Ugly,” much to the internet’s entertainment. “That was a trick. I didn’t know those things go viral. They say ‘viral.’ I didn’t know.”

   >Scorsese went on to explain how filming a TikTok with his daughter usually occurs, saying: “I’m at home doing things and she comes up to me and says, ‘Dad, look over here and tell me this.’ So I’m in my pajamas … She said, ‘Well it’s a thing they’re doing.’ Who’s ‘they?’ She says, ‘Everybody’s doing it. It’s a thing called TikTok.’ ‘All right. All right.’ I mean, the one we did with the dog, that was known.”

   >Scorsese is referring to a particularly artful TikTok in which he appears to be casting his latest muse, until the camera turns around to reveal his dog on the other side of the lens. But most of the time, Scorsese said he is unaware that these videos are going to be posted.

   >“That I didn’t know was going to go up,” Scorsese told the L.A. Times of his most recent TikTok. “I was just doing it in the other room with her. I don’t know what they’re going to do. They always have those iPhone cameras in their hands. You’re not aware. I honestly did not know she was going to post it … They use the words ‘post it,’ right?”

   >However, Scorsese appreciates Francesca’s vision, adding: “I will say that my daughter has a good eye.”

2. One of his most memorable scenes was the one of his mom on Goodfellas.

3. Old man claims technology is to blame yet has been using state of the art technology as his job for decades.

4. I’m more interested in whether he actually thinks Birdman is better than The Good, the Bad and the Ugly though

5. I heard scorcese’s daughter had a 95 pound mole removed from her arse.

6. Starts at Tik tok and ends with Superhero movies Marty.
