Neil Patrick Harris, the beloved star known for his roles in “How I Met Your Mother” and “Gone Girl,” has taken a playful leap into the TikTok universe, bringing along his adorable 13-year-old twins, Harper Grace and Gideon Scott. The actor, who has gracefully navigated his career and personal life in the public eye, continues to share glimpses of his vibrant family life with husband David Burtka, much to the delight of fans and followers.

In a light-hearted debut on the social media platform, Harris attempted to rally his teenagers for a family TikTok moment, humorously misnaming it “TikTac” to the mild embarrassment of his kids. The twins, shared expressions of playful despair, especially when their dad promised to “ramp up his rizz,” a term he borrowed from Gen Z’s vocabulary to express his intent to charm his way through TikTok with charisma and style. Despite their cringing reactions, especially when Harris dubbed himself “a snack” and broke into dance, the bond and affection within the Burtka-Harris family shone through, endearing them even more to their audience.

The move to TikTok is just the latest in a series of public family moments shared by Harris and Burtka, who have previously been crowned by their children as “the coolest parents” among their friends. Despite their star status, Harris and Burtka maintain a down-to-earth parenting approach, balancing their children’s rigorous school commitments with moments of fun and togetherness, as seen in their festive Instagram posts and now, their TikTok adventures.

“We’re definitely told we’re the coolest parents out of all the friend groups,” Burtka proudly shared with PEOPLE in a recent interview. “I didn’t realize it was a competition!” Harris said with a laugh. “You hope as kids get older that they want to share more with you, and are willing to tell you when things are happening as opposed to just keeping you out of the loop. So that’s nice to hear,” Harris said.

As Harris steps into the TikTok scene, it’s clear that he’s embracing the “cringy dad” era with open arms, much to the amusement of his fans. His willingness to poke fun at himself, coupled with his and Burtka’s dedication to their family, continues to endear them to the public. In a world where celebrities often feel distant, Harris and his family offer a refreshing glimpse into a life filled with laughter, love, and now, TikTok dances.
