What is the I love your daughter TikTok trend?
This viral craze has used a sound from a short film by the Gilmore Girls actor Sean Gunn.
Sean appeared in a short film titled A Film by Kirk.
A scene from the two-minute-long film has provided the sound used by several men on TikTok.
“I love you daughter,” Sean Gunn’s character said in the film.
“Who are you to love my daughter, what do you have to offer her?” the love interest’s father responded.
“Nothing, only this,” Sean’s character said before he broke out into contemporary dance.
How did this trend start?
