Reese Witherspoon and Will Ferrell Recreate Viral ‘Sofia Richie Dance’ ArticlePure

Reese Witherspoon and Will Ferrell may play enemies on screen, but in real life, they’re just two friends following the latest TikTok trend.

The actors, who star in the upcoming Prime Video comedy You’re Cordially Invited, out Thursday, Jan. 30, recently put their dancing shoes on to groove to Lola Young’s song “Messy” — a trend that was made popular in November by Sofia Richie Grainge and Jake Shane.

For the post, which was posted on Witherspoon’s TikTok account on Friday, Jan. 24, the actress, 48, and Ferrell, 57, wore coordinating black and gray outfits.

Warning: this video contains explicit language

As the chorus began, Ferrell appeared on screen by himself and shook his hands as he walked in place to the beat of the track — hilariously recreating Shane’s dance moves from his viral TikTok with Richie Grainge.

Witherspoon then began grooving into the frame, shaking her hips, and mouthing along to the track, just like Richie Grainge, 26, did in the viral TikTok video that earned the name “the Sofia Richie Dance.”

“Us? Messy? Wait until you see your movie … ??,” Witherspoon captioned the video, which has gotten over 4 million views thus far.

The clip quickly made its way onto Richie Grainge’s TikTok feed where she commented, “Life. Made.”

You’re Cordially Invited finds Witherspoon and Ferrell playing the sister of a bride and the father of a bride at two separate weddings that were accidentally booked on the same day at the same venue. Meredith Hagner portrays Witherspoon’s character’s sister, while Geraldine Viswanathan plays Ferrell’s daughter.

“Each bridal party is challenged with preserving their family’s special moment while making the most of the unanticipated tight quarters,” a synopsis explains, noting that Witherspoon and Ferrell’s characters “chaotically go head-to-head as they stop at nothing to uphold an unforgettable celebration for their loved ones.”
