Married With Children and Modern Family leading man Ed O’Neill unexpectedly went viral on TikTok this week.
The 78-year-old longtime actor joined his daughter Claire in a hilarious snippet in which they lip synced the expletive-laden intro to Tupac’s 1996 song Hit Em Up.
He stood behind her in the brief recording, dressed in an apricot-colored, gray newsboy cap, and black-rimmed eyeglᴀsses.
Claire, who boasts 123,000 followers on the app, struggled to hold in her laughter as she and her dad acted out the scene.
She wore a brown leather jacket and pulled her тιԍнт, brunette ringlets into an updo with face-framing strands left out at the front. The caption of the post read: ‘this was his idea.’
O’Neill’s Modern Family co-star was among the entertained TikTok viewers.

In addition to Claire, whose age is unclear, Ed also shares daughter Sophia with longtime wife Catherine Rusoff, 71.
His family is rarely seen, and Claire has a low-key social media presence, seeming to be only publicly active on TikTok.
It’s there where she occasionally posts playful voiceover clips and doesn’t share personal information about her day-to-day life.
The young lady did, however, step out with her famous father last summer when they attended the red carpet premiere of his FX series Clipped.
For the special occasion, she wore a sleek, black, off-the-shoulder dress and carried a matching clutch.
While Ed hasn’t said much about his small family over the years, back in 2020 he shared a funny story about older daughter Sophia meeting Leonardo DiCaprio.

Aappearing on The Ellen DeGeneres Show in at the time, he recalled, ‘I said, “I want to go to Rao’s for Father’s Day.” And so my older daughter [Sophia], when she found out, freaked out: “It’s too far to go — can’t it be in Santa Monica where we live?” and that sort of thing. And I said, “No, I like Rao’s.”‘
He continued, ‘We had just ordered and she was on her phone. And then I saw her look up and all of a sudden it was like she was stricken. I mean, I really thought something was wrong with her. I said, “What’s the matter?” and she said (whispering), “Shut up!”‘
‘And then I turned around and I saw a party coming in, and they sat near us. And it was Leo DiCaprio. Now, my daughter has had a crush on Leo since Romeo + Juliet, so she freaked out,’ O’Neill told host Ellen.
The тιтanic actor eventually greeted Ed and his family, with the Married With Children star introducing Sophia.
‘Then we walked outside and she was, like, comatose,’ he said about his daughter’s starstruck reaction to the moment.
